Thank's for the replies guys. I am not a misanthrope, actually I have tons of friends online! Facebook, Reading Clubs, Indie Music and self-improvement.
My problem is socializing with people in real life in an institution-school and college- where you need to interact constantly with them. Especially since both of the schools I attended where small. I can put my social mask but not all the time as its required. The most frustrating aspect of social skills on an institution is that I am getting penalized for what I do and for what I DON'T do.
For instance, some people want to talk to me in Spanish-my natiive language. However, If I talk to them in Spanish they get offended as they tend to think I am showing off. On the other hand, if I don't they get angry since they tend to think I am too good to talk to them. I have hundreds of examples like this, but it always seems like I end up rubbing people the wrong way.
