Rhetorical question for the most part. Some people I've tried to get to know think that, some don't. A few are girls I friended deliberately, seeking to get to know people, specifically single girls. That can be creepy by itself, regardless of intentions. Not having a "good grasp of the situation" regardless of who's fault it was doesn't help.
Sometimes I have to be smacked over the head with a clue-by-four before things get into my skull. Sometimes it has to be driven specifically in through the nose, to continue the analogy. It certainly doesn't help.
Thinking hard on a couple of those clue-by-fours, I do have issues to resolve. Being introverted, whether it's social anxiety or other issues, is something I've been working on. It's one thing I like about being a furry, I'm a little more relaxed an open at cons and such I've realized, as good a reason as any I suppose to make sure I go to at least one con this year. I'm also a little bit more open online, or at least I was. For a while it was outside of my comfort zone which helped, I need to think about that too.
