ofcourse if you have a specail interest you are going to shine from time to time around the rite people.
I never really fit in with everyone else at work but for a while around town were i used to live i had nicknames people made up like Mr Cool, and Cooley wich i thought sounded weird but someone must have made it up and it just spread. I even made it into Tv commercails somehow, 2 with my car and another one from my work and one with my car were both on tv at the same time. some people thought i was a snob but i wasnt, i just seem to go blank sometimes when i see some people and can not recognise them wich is pretty embarrasing, when i remember who people are i remember everything about them, i sometimes avoid conversation if i hear someone in a crowd call out to me becuase i dont know who they are.
my wife will say infront of people who is this when someone is talking to me and i dont know what to say and feel like a a***hole.
When i was 17 i worked with a guy who always had lunch by himself and would never talk to anyone else at work but he had some real cool cars that your average joe blo wouldnt know nothing about, the people at work never really understood him. he is probably about the coolest person ive met, he probably wasnt AS but he being silent didnt stop him from being cool.

Take it as a compliment! They are simply saying that you act a bit wierd, and they thought less of you than others, when they really should have thought more of you then others. The reference to others is implied because they even mentioned it, and said really nice.

As for me? Now that I think about it, some have called me awesome. Others, that have known me, come close. Ones that don't know me can vary greatly in their opinions. But who cares what THEY really think? I TRY to come off as a nice gregarious guy.(yeah, I know, I have to be a good actor). I try to say SOMETHING nice, etc... to whomever is helping me. As long as I don't have to follow through, I do ok.

Thanks for your view on that. It always amazes me how people form an opinion about someone so quickly. Some people are so quick to jump to conclusions aren't they?

I get told I'm awesome a lot

I've also been told something similar, don't know the word in english, but a close one is "pedantic", and as SteveK said, take that as a compliment

oh yeah, and some people I know have told me "I don't know what I'd do without you"

I don't think I've ever been called awesome. But I think that a lot of people liked me.
