Everyone has baggage. Sometimes it’s super easy to forget it in everyday life situations, especially because people know exactly how to protect the truth about themselves.

I think I’m pretty good example of situation such as this. I bet I would strike you as an arrogant prick if we found ourselves in situation where we’d be forced to spend a significant amount of time with each other without a notice.

The reasons behind my actions are being bullied as a kid and then rejected as a teenager due to social awkwardness. I’m very hostile toward newcomers, no matter who they are and what they’re up to. I used to antagonize people very quickly back in a day. I was scared. It was not up to me and I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
Thankfully, I got better. However, I still don’t feel comfortable about opening up and I like to keep my distance. It has nothing to do with the other party. It never had. People are complicated. There are deeper layers of identity that could tell you much more about who someone really is. My advise for you is not to take anything personally.
