Is it normal to be surprized to find out people like me?
I don't like myself very much. I've never been a particularly social person and I don't have a lot of confidence that I'm the kind of person others would actively seek to be around. I am usually surprised when people initiate a conversation with me, and genuinely shocked when people want to make plans to hang out with me. I am completely baffled when someone confides "I always wanted to hang out with you, but you seemed too cool." I'm not particularly smart, attractive or hip. Nor do I have wealth or power.
