LadyCry,
I know exactly what you mean. With me, its weird too - people seem to think I'm a certain way when they meet me, then as they get to know me (if they stick around long enough or if I stick around long enough), they find out they were totally wrong.
Sometimes that's a good surprise for them - sometimes not.
I think in these times, people are also just not social - I don't think its just "you" or just "me".
And we have a society which moves around a lot and I just think its harder to connect socially than it once was.
I don't know if that helps? Just hang in there, and keep trying. Hugs!
