Sharing Our Innermost Thoughts

I was called scary today by a couple friends. They said that I scare them and that they thought I hated them for a long time. I never hated them, quite the opposite actually. I think they’re cool. It hurt to hear that I come off as scary. I’m assertive, definitely, but I’ve never done anything mean, I don’t think. I’m just not good as showing positive emotions, and I told them that after what they said. I’m a very lonely person and I always get hurt by the idea that people don’t like me, and I feel like I just found evidence as to why people may not like me. It hurts a lot.
