I asked a few people I know really well why I seem to scare others away. My introverted nature and nonverbal communication are to blame. I come across as intimidating, indifferent, and serious which most people don't find appealing. I can be hard to converse with because I am not a very social person. Conversation especially small talk does not come easy. I don't really get it.
When I am in a group I am comfortable with not talking at all. Just being around others is good enough for me. Apparently this bothers some people.
