yeah! when im very nervous, i sound arrogant which is real ironic. i really try to go out of my way to not seem that way. so many people assume if you dont talk to them that you think your too good for them. but really its the opposite!

Yeh a guy once messaged me, and i was busy so didnt reply for a while. He sent me another message saying "Are you gonna talk or are you too stuck up your own arse?"

Words cant describe how offended i was!

People sometimes think that of me because I stick to myself & never talk to any of them. & honestly, to an extent, that's the truth, I guess. I do have a tendency to think I'm better than certain "types" of people, especially the kind of people I "know". People who have extensive criminal records, & abuse drugs & alcohol. I know a lot of people like that & I don't want to associate with any of them & I do think I'm "better than them" for not doing those things myself.

yep, 100% russian. nice guess
 
Yeah, I can be quite opinionated and will defend my position in aggressive ways, sometimes - I may come across as a know-it-all. Plus, factor in that I'm a straight edge vegan... people just love that.

Yes. I've been called a snob a lot. I'm really, really shy around new people. I guess that makes me come off as rude or uninterested. When in actuality I'm listening very hard and trying my hardest to be polite and make a nice impression. I'm just terrible at small talk though.
I remember this time summer camp when I was 11. I had never been at an overnight camp before and I had a hard time talking to all these strangers.
What I will never forget is when we had to do a group activity I had no group because I was too shy to ask. A girl asked me if I would like to join their group and I was so happy, but then another girl looked me dead in the face and said "I don't want to work with her, because she's a big snob". What do you even say to that? After that the label sticked. My three roommates (who all were very chatty and formed an instant clique) asked me, "Sara, why are you such a snob?", other kids wouldn't talk to me.

It's been a name that has followed me from jr.high to highschool to university.
The other popular name I hear a lot is weirdo. I'd rather be called a weirdo because I know I am a little weird, but snob is just downright untrue. So that name hurts a little...

Yes. I'm always considered a snob or stuck up or thinks she's better than everyone else when it's the complete opposite! I always feel as though I'm not worthy of talking to certain people and certain people wouldn't want to talk to me! I wouldn't want to pester them with my own pathetic stories.

It's annoying. So many people who have eventually gotten to know me straight out tell me that they thought I didn't like them. I always find myself sticking up for shy people when others consider them weird or a snob. People just don't understand. My mom constantly says things like:

"I don't like her. She never comes up and says hi."

And I always have to suggest "well, maybe she's just shy?"

I guess I can uderstand how someone can misinterpret shyness for for being a snob? I can't say that's ever happened to me though. It's the total opposite. People think I'm really nice, even though I'm sure I'm probably not.

the wall said; ''Yes, I've had people think that I'm a snob and assume that I think I'm better than everyone else...couldn't be further from the truth. That's one of the things I hate most about being socially anxious, coming across as rude.''

yep, i have had exactly that but then again when people talk endlessly or very loudly (or god forbid both at once) i start to think theyre an idiot and i guess if im honest i do think that a lot of people are idiotic so maybe theres a little bit of truth in the observation..i think i judge people and they get on my nerves and people sense that about me and its not a way to win popularity contests. :mad:
