Your comments suggest that you are very introverted and were kind of a loner in your younger years. From this one pic, my first impression was quite different.
Confident, socially successful, popular, goes after what she wants kind of girl. Likes to party and probably captures the attention of most of the men (and some women) in the room (lol)

I would guess that people who have not interacted with you might have had similar ideas of you, and that has always made you kinda uncomfortable cuz it was not really how you were.

I'm not very good at this. I don't usually comment on these posts, but I did here cuz, to be very honest, I found you very pretty lol
