Maybe, that's why I said maybe I'm just too self conscious and come off as rude or something? I really don't know. People who actually know me like me but a lot of people I meet don't seem to. One person I got to know a little better last year said when he first met me he thought I was just boring (I guess because I'm so shy).

If you break the norms of the people around it should be a conscious decisions for which you have good reasons otherwise you will be seen as inconsiderate because you either seem to be to ignorant to recognize the norms or to selfish to follow them.
I don't think I really know what the norms are.. I grew up in a weird situation...
