Highly Intelligent, Yet Socially Inept
Over the course of the last week, I’ve come ever closer to the realization that I react poorly with people. I find that as I try to be nice and caring people continue to find me mean and, at times, accuse me of being a stalker. I find this horribly confusing as I spend a large amount of time thinking about the correct and incorrect ways to interact with others.
At work, my supervisors really like me having me there, regardless of whether or not I am actually working. At the same time, I receive increasing amounts of ridicule and malice from people who tell me I’m mean and cruel despite my many attempts at being friendly.
I have troubles outside of work as well, but I do not want to go into great detail on those.
I’ve had two best friends in my life. One of which was my mother’s best friend’s son. He and I spent tons of time together until we got older. Now we haven’t spoken in a year. My other best friend was made at church about 9-10 years ago. Our friendship is still alive, but staggering.
I attempted a friendship with an employee at work, but the mother seems to have some type of a problem with me. I’m afraid she thinks of me as a stalker as mother’s in the past have. This is all despite the fact that I didn’t get any information from work. We just talked at work and I showed up at the school one day to ask if we could hangout at the local pizza place.
It’s matters like the preceding that really make me want to cry, because no matter how hard I try, I always seem to fail.
