I make a great first impression... and little else.

I have met several people in the past who at first seem like perfectly nice, normal people but then after a short period you start to realise they're a bit odd and more importantly, rather annoying. Generally, I just avoid that person until they get the message.

Being odd or different is not in itself a bad thing. What puts people off is being actively irritating. Obviously I've never met you but I personally dislike people who are over-enthusiastic about everything. Big personalities can be really grateing, especially when that person is new to the group. It's important when you meet new people to try to suss out the group dynamics and fit in with it, rather than forcing yourself on them and waiting for them to accept you.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though. Hardly anyone goes through life without making a few friends here and there and so long as you're not trying too hard, you're bound to meet some like-minded people sooner or later.

I suspect that if he still hasn't made any friends since September 2008, he's probably either resigned himself to his fate or topped himself.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No worries.

Laughing at lonely people is always worth a bit of thread necromancy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
