Over many years, I've seemed to naturally upset people without even trying. I don't put on pretend fake smiles for the sake of being seen as having terrific people skills.

Anyway, it used to upset me.

But now I see the funny side of this 'gift.' It is hard not to develop a sense of humour, when you encounter so many unpleasant facial expressions in everyday human interaction.

Do you find you naturally upset people? Laughing

I don't upset people, but I get misunderstood a lot. People always think I am being a beyatch on purpose when that is not my intention ... it's just my facial expressions and the way I talk.

Not sure if it's natural. I make conscious effort to be an asshole, I find it that much more amusing.

Probably why I'm pseudo trollish on here and easily anger or upset people on forms of instant chat/email. It's basically me in real life, but it doesn't come across that way.

Don't worry it's nothing unusual or special. Lots of men and many women are cold. Men in particular have a cold, ruthless and often relentless logical view on things that can destroy others before they even know it.
On the rare occasions I've gotten angered, my words in response have made those, such as my own mum cry. Ah... good times.

People are annoying and people find people annoying. Good manners goes a long way, but sometimes isn't enough to cheer and chum them up to actually like you and do you right. Regardless who you are, you will always come into contact with annoying people who don't like you for unknown reasons. If you don't like the vibe you get when talking to someone, keep shopping or just grin and bear it until you can make your exit from the situation.
