Why do people always think I'm plotting something evil, bad or mischievious? It's always been like this, people I'm interacting with always assume that I'm scheming some evil plan while they talk. Makes me wonder, do I make weird faces when people talk? Actually I don't, I'm very quiet an almost completely expressionless, I hardly smile and my face is serious most of the time. But then what is the reason? "Are you listening to me?!" "Yes I am, why?" "You just stand there staring at me without saying anything!" but what else am I supposed to do? Interrupt you while you're talking? I'm polite, I wait for my turn. Sometimes they say I'm making fun of them as well, but I'm not. Or a very common scenario in school with teachers:
"You're always distracted, why aren't you listening?"
"I was listening.."
"Then try to repeat the last thing I said!"
*repeats*
"Are you making fun of me?!"
"No, I just answered your request..."
"Stop it with that attitude or I'll send you to the principal!"
wtf? Now, I can understand that behaviour is up to interpretation and can be misjudged, but if I'm just there without doing any face or gesture that could mislead, what is it then?
Same goes for things I do or say. I say/do things only because part of some evil plan...when there's really no hidden meaning behind them. I'm as transparent as it seems but no one believes that. I sit quietly in a corner and someone comes towards me and yells "who do you think you are?!" what do you want? I was just here on my own!
It's one of the main reasons I find very hard to understand people. The problem probably lies on me but what it is I know not, I tend to blame it on the syndrome, but that could be wrong as well. It makes me sigh.

Sorry about that.
