I am not pretentious or stuck-up. I am merely shy. This means that sometimes I will see people who I think I know in public - oh and by the way, I have trouble recognizing faces/making eye contact sometimes - and I won't say hello. I don't want to bother them and I won't be sure if it's really who I think it is. This has had the consequence of me seeming very elitist or unfriendly to people when really it's the opposite. I work around it now, but the elitist/whatever perception still comes up sometimes. Not it at all. No, I'd love to be most people's friends. Also, someone thought I hated Lord of the Rings once, when really it is the very opposite that is true.
Me too. Recently I've been overcompensating by saying hi to people when I'm kinda sure I know them. This has resulted in a lot of awkward stares and girls thinking im coming on to them. So embarrassing :SI am not pretentious or stuck-up. I am merely shy.
