Oh, oh, did you also get that "I really like you, but I FIND YOU GREATLY ANNOYING!" bullshit? I was also unpopular in school. People found me uppity and annoying and fuck them. (Talk to me! I don't always reply quickly - or at all, if I'm overwhelmed or migraining, but I promise, that's on me, not on you.)

The solution, I find, (for me, I'm not telling you what to do) is to find friends who don't find me annoying. And to ignore everyone on the internet who posts guides to proper behavior.
