Finally realized something about myself.

For the longest time I’ve believed that I just attracted disagreeable people. I seem to find them no matter where I go.
At my new job as an arcade tech, I have the ‘pleasure’ of working with this guy. He is, in his own words, an absolute prick.
I have no doubts to this claim. He’s about as nice as rubbing fiberglass on a newborn baby’s buttocks.
After yet *another* altercation with this guy today (over nothing important, as these things usually are) I got to thinking: maybe it’s not the other people, maybe it’s me!
I mean, really…people actually avoid me. I used to have a dumpster diving partner, who actually flat-out told me that he didn’t want to dive with me any more. Couldn’t figure it out at the time, but now it makes sense. Supposed friends of mine, some that I’ve had for years, won’t return phone calls or emails.
Heck, the public in general (say, when I go to a store, or whatever) always seems to give me that “gah…I really don’t like the looks of this guy” look. When I drive down the street, people actually *stare*. I don’t drive an outlandish car, and I’m not a bad looking guy (not rip-your-eyes-out ugly, anyway) so there’s got to be something there.
Some vibe, that I put out. Something that says “don’t like me”.
*shrug*
In other news, I dropped off my first Geocache today! Find it here. Just a micro. I’ve been doing a lot of it lately, and have been picking up the lingo, the tricks of the trade, and whatnot.
