I'm not always miserable but I guess some people think I always look miserable.

The only time I've ever gotten along with people really well was at the last job I had. People there loved me, even those who were well aware of my temper. Some people sought me out regularly to talk with. I was some nobody, mailroom/shipping person amongst all these college grads in engineering and business management. They loved me but of course we didn't have friendships outside of work.

Maybe the difference was that at work you don't smoke and drink or have to pay in order to share time with one another.

Not touching the issue of why I don't get along with people online with a ten foot pole, not today anyway.
