hmm... i think this happened to me once. when i was 17 or 18, and in high school. apperently, this hot girl had a crush on me, but my militant appearance led her to believe that i wouldn't be interested in a girl with 11 facial piercings. by the time i found out about this, she had moved or something.
I'm not arrogent at all, really, and in fact I'm rather deficient in self-esteem, but when people ask me about the things that I like, I end up talking about a bunch of technical stuff and scaring them off. Many of them say I'm too smart for them. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just too boring.
Annoying, yes. And depressing. The fortress of solitude, it is. The only time people ever seem to enjoy my company is when I've lost enough sleep that I start feeling funny and saying strange things. Then they apparently feel closer to me.
