Yeah unfortunately it can turn people off but I know you don’t mean it. I work with autistic high school students and I had a couple friends at my college that had high functioning autism and they never meant to come off as inappropriate. To them, something we see as weird may be normal to them and vise versa. I’m sorry you deal with rejection.
