I feel like everyone's got the wrong idea about me
I've never been a social person, and I often choose not to be social because I don't generally get along with people. I have a raunchy sense of humor, and I will talk about things beyond the general mainstream media "meta" other people associate with. Even around people with like minded interests I tend to lose or anger others very easily. As a result, I stay quiet or mind my own business, and respond with bare minimum interactions in order to keep the peace. I feel like with how people interact with eachother it's become a very narcissistic centered society where if you don't stroke someone's ego, you're trash. So I just tend to keep it at arms length and not bother with it.
However since this has gone on for too long, the people in question who I have to interact with are starting to think I'm either autistic or developmentally challenged because I don't get involved with normal people things. Even my own family who've I've kept at arms length know next to nothing about me these days, what I like, what I enjoy, anything, and assume the worst.
Has anyone else experienced something similar where you just drift away with the best intentions in mind, and people just assume the worst of how you live? Is this just a me thing that I have to improve on?
