Hi folks,
How are you all going? I need a little help. I really don't know what the hell is wrong for me.
Five years ago I finished high school and since then I have literally been by myself. That is, no friends or girlfriends. I never intended it to be like this. I never wanted it to be like this.
After a year out of high school I figured that no one wanted to keep in contact with me because I was extremely rude to them. Fair enough. I cleaned up my act and I don't expect those people to forgive me.
But the real problem is that for the past 3 years I could honestly say I have been a perfect gentleman to everyone I meet! But guess what, no one wants to be around me more than 10 minutes. However, there has been one person who does talk to me. I have only know her for about 3 months. Anyway, tonight she called me a "weirdo".
She called me a "weirdo" because I'm too polite. She then explained that I was too "stiff". And that when I say things like "Sorry", it annoys her. She said that is the reason why I don't have any friends.
The other day, my older brother also got angry at me for saying "sorry". When I told her about what my brother said, she agreed and stated the above.
Btw, I know that she is clearly not interested in me; so I am not trying to impress her or anything like that.
Anyway, what's the verdict? I'm really confused now.
Thanks :)

it sounds like you are uncomfortable and when people sense it, it makes them uncomfortable. it might be a self esteem issue

You guys are right. I do try to make everyone happy. Probably that is the problem!
I think you are both onto something!
Thanks :)

Guess what? There are millions of people who are going thru the same thing. Pls know that. My problem is that I am a "crisis person," that is, feeling rather uncomfortable in very healthy happy times at other places like picnics and places that. Sometimes there is this DEAD SILENCE in the air as people share happy things and I am expected to join in. I have had extreme stress in my life and am coming out of it.
