Yeah oddly enough I was lucky in sec. mainstream school because some people took a liking to me, same kinda with college but on a much less scale... Maybe we in our inward thinking think too little of ourselves?
Maybe there is much to like that simply we cannot see? I think this is true as everytime someone compliments me (even on a logical level I know its correct) I still cannot see whats so great about it, and just shrug embarrased and thank them, this faux-modesty is also a likeable feature in people, lol go figure.
Also, jokes terrify me too :S. Since people are outwardly looking for a response.
When I was in secondary school there was this girl who somehow seemed to be able to understand me. I barely said a word to her and yet she completely understood how difficult it was for me to talk, even though she was very outgoing and confident. We were in almost every class together for three years. She sat next to me and talked to me the same way she talked to everybody else even though she didn't get much of a response. She always looked out for me and one of my teachers once referred to her as my guardian angel. At the end of year eleven I left school and she stayed in the sixth form. Just before I left she asked if she could have a word in private. She took me outside and told me it was a shame I was leaving and she would love for me to come back. Then she said 'I know you're a nice person 'cause I can see it in your eyes'. She was the nicest most understanding person I've ever met. She even gave me her phone number so we could keep in touch, but it took me months to force myself to phone her and her number had changed by then. I wish I'd kept in touch. I don't think I'll ever meet anyone else like her.

That's a touching story and it sounds like she's a one of a million kind of person. I wish I had a friend like that at school. In my experience school kids almost always would lose interest in you if you don't respond and warm to them and won't stick around long to give you sympathy company.
That reminds me of something else. My teacher once told a joke, I wasn't paying any attention to it so had no idea what they were talking about, then he looked at me and said, 'oh come on, it's a joke, goddamn it!' What? I wasn't even listening! Even if I didn't find it funny, so what?
LOL. This is a cute story. Don't blame the teacher. Believe it or not, out there, people who we consider normal get also very insecure when someone doesnt find them funny. Everybody out there tries to get accepted as much as we do, so, no need to give a damn about his joke, he's no funny, that's great you didn't go like me....when I start begging them to repeat the story...that's lame!

Or how about when I laugh before he barely finished saying 'hey guess what I did the yesterday'
i feel the same way some people like me and i dont really talk much, but thats negative thoughts and social phobia thats telling you theres no reason, just cause we are quiter doesnt mean that we are horriable poeple, not everyone is loud and sometimes people like to be listened to. its a good quality to be agood listener and there must be something that these people like about us otherwise they wont bother, we need to stop putting presure on our selves and acept that being quite is not bad.
