You know, your account brings up a good point. I think you know about that girl I was speaking of before, the one I was in love with. I had a similar situation, I also tried to explain to her what was going on with me and that any coldness or rejection from my part was not intentional, it's an unintentional expression error on my part. She proceeded to delete her Facebook account and has either blacklisted me or something because I can't use mine anymore. I was also expecting police to come round my house and arrest me for like stalking or something, or that she was going to take out a restraining order on me or something to that effect. Thank goodness it never happened, because in a South African jail, a first-offender is no more than a piece of fresh meat to play with, they would've killed me in there, for sure.
But, I mean, it just sucks so damn much to be constantly misunderstood and misjudged, and people always fear the worst, so when they do take a pre-emptive strike, it's normally a death-blow.

In my case, being bipolar, I've actually been "football tackled" to restrain me during manic episodes for fear of what I might do, which actually makes me more likely to become voilent than if people would just leave me alone to begin with.
