Search Results: felt guilt

I'm asking this question because I feel (and know) that I can be this "difficult person" sometimes!

However I feel people are too scared to tell me or even hint to me that I'm being bothersome or a nuisance.

Only a few close family members, a few friends and my exes brought this to my attention. Some of the points they mentioned about me were:

-------

*being combative (as in if somebody "hints" at something about me I'll directly ask them about it in the form of a ? in a "in your face" non-suttle type of fashion, making people uncomfortable)

*overly analytical (as in I carry a conversation topic into such precision and detail that I go over ppl's heads and dumbfound them and simultaneously "kill" the conversation topic)

*to people that don't know me well, come of as arrogant or as an intellectual bully because of the point listed above in combination with my confidence level

*doing sarcasm TOO well (I love sarcasm and playfully teasing ppl!), as in my body language and face are so stoic when I say sarcasm and playfully tease, that far too often people think I'm being a dick when I'm trying to be funny; so irritating

*that although I'm told I'm a friendly, charismatic and charming guy, I tend to be very socially nice-aggressive and poignant to point that it's like I put sales pressure on people to like me or "guilt them into not being able to reject me". As the saying goes, I "lay it on thick".

*I'm a very factual "black and white" person; I don't like ANYTHING being left open for alternative interpretation. I'm the type to ask "Is that a yes or a no?" if someone gives an answer to a question without explicitly say the word "yes" or "no". I like to bond people to their words and am not shy about mentioning a discrepancy about something someone said days or weeks or even months ago based on pure principle alone.

Some people that have been on GaG awhile (I've been here since 2010) can attest to some, if not all, of these traits to be true about me.

Sorry for the rant (although it felt good!).

1) Do you know a person that falls into one or more of those points?

2) How do you conduct yourself around and handle social situations with this person?

I know it was long; thank you for reading! 8-)
