I combine disliking people with being intimidated by the awesomeness of people, so the reason for my quietness around people is always up for grabs. I honestly don't know whether I come off as snobby or just shy. I got "aloof" I think more than once on that nohari window thing, but that's a very flawed mechanism for reasons including the fact that it forces you to select 5 adjectives even if you only want to pick 3.

I'm never really sure how I manage to acquire friends. By the time I'm actually at a point with someone where we would call each other friends, we've usually had conversations about at least some of the stuff I get tetchy about and they've seen how I complicate everything and hate people and suchlike; so combined with the fact that I tend to scope out people for a while before committing, I like to think that I'm fairly likely to keep friends, but there are a lot of people with whom I've drifted (though most of those people would be categorized more as acquaintances than friends).
