This past weekend I went to a house party that some of my friends and their mutual friends had and there were some people there that I hadn’t seen in forever, simply because I had no contact with them or we were only acquaintances. There was one girl who showed up that I’ve known for a really long time but we were never friends.
I was hanging around the computer queuing up music when she arrived and we briefly made eye contact before I went back to what I was doing. A few minutes passed and I overheard her asking my friend for his wifi password since it was his house. He didn’t remember but told her that I might be able to get to it since I was near the computer. For some reason, she got really hesitant to ask me for the password, which was weird since I never knew her to be the shy type and I’m generally nice to everyone. My friend even had trouble understanding why she was apparently afraid, and I listened to them talk about me like I was some kind of mean dog who might bite her. Eventually I heard her say something about me not liking her, and then he brought me her phone himself and asked if I could pull up the wifi password.
I thought it was absurd that she would think I disliked her, because I had no reason to. We barely exchanged words in the time we’ve known each other and I never went out of my way to talk to her. And I’m aware that it isn’t immediately obvious whether or not I feel that way about someone, but this whole thing left me feeling a little self-conscious. I don’t know if it’s the way I look or the way I act that would make anyone think that, or if that’s even common with people that know me. I’ve heard plenty of jokes about it but I didn’t know it was anything serious. And it’s not like I’m interested in her in any capacity, I feel mostly neutral about her but it bothers me that even after all this time someone would have that impression of me that might be more common with people I just met.
