I can just be sitting somewhere thinking about something and people will say, "Whats wrong?" or "Lighten Up, It can't be that bad".
I am really an easy going and generally happy person, I guess my face just looks angry/sad when I am not mad/sad.
Anyone else have this problem?

people always think i want a girlfriend... i guess that's not the same :p they're always like "why don't you get a girlfriend" or "when are you going to get a girlfriend". i tell them "i don't care" or "i'm too busy" and they go "yea, uh huh, you know that's just an excuse". i don't understand why all of the sudden i *need* to have a girlfriend.

btw, maybe you could practice smiling? sounds gay... but hey :p

All of my friends ignore me about that. I just don't have the time to be in a relationship, I barely have enough time as it is.

I don't care I don't have a girlfriend, but it seems that I have offended people because I don't have a gf:confused:

Oh well, the hell with them:D

given the tone of your first paragraph, I find it interesting that you used the word "gay" in the 2nd :D

hehe, i get the same thing :) whenever i'm at a party or social gathering, people seem scared to approach me.

and a few of my little sister's friends in high school say "he's so scary!"

Yeah I get this too... but usually it's when I really need to take a cr@p.

People think I'm scary, too...might be because I'm twice the size of the average person, but still...

Yes, I have wondered about this paradox in my life as well. We can often project a defensive "aura" in front of us to keep others at bay. Perhaps there are issues you need to deal with that restrict your freedom to move through other people's space in a pleasant manner. Nothing GAY about smiling... most women will tell you they like your smile, as you're exchanging the "checklist-of-compatibility".
In my case, self exploration has helped me to deal with issues I had not dealt with and the subsequent release has been noticed by more than a few.
Try smiling at random strangers and realize that the face is one of the best communicating tools we have.
BTW, I said "smile", not "leer"!!:Q
There is a difference...

You barely have enough time as it is.. yet, I find it amazing that you found time to read and post on ATOT.

I have the same problem, when people mention it I generally strike them with a blunt object.

I get that a lot, especially around people I don't know real well. I don't really like talking to people though, so I just kinda go with it.

/me doesnt like people

want em to stop?
whenver they ask that, just stare at them like a serial killer, or a 4yr old who likes barney alot, either way its gonna scare the hell out of them and theyll go away, which is generally the desired effect
