I don’t know about you guys , but all the time I feel like people don’t like me or are hurt by me not showing enough emotion . I really do care about what the person is saying , it’s just that I don’t show it enough. I like what they say and I try to respond with good replies but I am so interested in learning and revealing their context that I end up getting on their nerves.   I want to be able to one day have people understand that I really care and I want them to be my friend instead of me coming off in a negative manner . Like this one girl I just met . She was telling me that she really likes to drink and do other things to keep sane while going to college , but by the tone and her expression I could tell that she was seeking help . So, I gave her my best advice that I could but she was shy after that . I don’t know if she was shy cause I hurt her feeling or if she was embarrassed or what . But the rest of our little date was in awkward silence . I wanted to say smoothing like look at the faloctopus outside or just something weird so she would laugh and begin talking again but instead we just sat in silence as she looking down playing with her food with her fork .

Please reply with advice . I thought I was okay but now I am a little in a haze myself.
