I think part of our (my perhaps) problem is that people don't know where they stand with us. i had a friend say to me, "you never answer your phone, i think you don't like me" in a joking way but there's a truth in every sarcasm, but anyways this has happened with other people in different ways. i'm just not an affectionate person and i don't show or tell people how i feel about them because i'm shy. so does anyone else feel this way?
