ok so last night there were a few people at my apartment (who share with two of my best friends) drinking and just hanging out. well i decided not to drink, so i just sat in my room and played video games (like usual Sad

)

i had to door open, and sometimes people would come in and check out what i was doing. i would talk to them but very limited. im pretty sure one of the kids though i was very strange. he kept trying to include me into conversations while i was sitting in my room, i didnt mind that he was talking to me but i couldnt really understand why he was doing it. later when some people left him and my roommate were in my room and he kept saying things like "rob your cool as shit" "i hate (roommates name)" he was treating me very differently then he did everyone else.

i honestly think he was afraid of me, and what i might do. i got so upset and anxious that someone would be afraid of me i started to get the shakes really bad, like ive never had before. i kept thinking that everyone thinks im some kind of psychopath. in the morning i herd one of the girls who slept on the couch say. "do you believe in evil, its very cold in this apartment" im not sure who she said it because i was laying in bed. i dont think she realized that we dont turn the heat on at night because its much more comfortable to sleep when its cold.

ive been thinking about talking to my friend about what happen last night because i could tell he was defending me and he knows im just a quite conservative kid. im afraid if i do bring it up i might convey my feelings wrong and i might scare him like i did with the other people.

Who's Rob?
Who's the one that said "I hate..." - and who was he referring to and talking to?

Sorry I couldn't quite follow the story. I don't quite understand how you could have possibly scared them.

So far, nobody has ever been afraid of me. At least if people are afraid of you they won't bully you or get in your way.

rob is me. yea sorry about the confusing post i was trying to get all my thoughts down as quick as i could.

so basically there was one kid, lets call him Joe, who seemed a bit uneasy that i didnt speak much. Joe would occasionally come into my room and say things like, "your the coolest kid i know" and other things along those lines. then joe would say to my roommates that he didnt like them. he was treating me differnt than everyone else, constantly shaking my hand or high fives. its hard to describe in words how jow was acting but it really seemed as if he was afraid of me. i knew something was about to happen because my friend kept saying "what ever happens, happens, dont get mad." Joe kept trying to get everyone from downstairs to come back up to our apartment. he said "everyone needs to hear whats about to happen." My friend ended up locking him downstairs for a little while. later my freind went to the downstairs apartment and probably had a chat with joe because when they came back joe was differnt. he said "everything cool man, im sorry" shook my hand again and passed out on the couch.

"Joe" wasn't drunk was he? It's strange that he apologised to you after. The constant handshakes and highfives are a bit strange too.

I think I know what you mean though. Sometimes people can be intimidated by quiet people if they think the quiet person is trying to judge them/overanalyse the situation. Often, though, quiet people are just quiet because they have nothing to say - not because they are in some deep thought process.

Back in high school I was told once (in a jokingly manner but still not something I'd like to hear) that b/c I was so quite but laughed and smiled a lot that I was probably one of those people who will try to take over the world one day or one day come to school and try to kill everyone.

no "joe" was very drunk. he told me he through up outside and everything is ok. i sleep by a window that looks out onto the deck and i heard him throw up over the railing late at night. i wondered why he didnt just use the bathroom, and i realized he might not want to mess up the bathroom because i might get mad. but i could care less as long as he cleans up whatever mess he makes
