I think I have a problem of giving a vibe that I'm too serious which really affects the way people talk to me. Sure, some people I know joke around with me and what not, but I feel that most people will tread lightly around me. I noticed this with one friend of mine talks somewhat different with me and with others. With other people he's more loose and seem to have an ease to converse, with me it seems more forced and more serious and he's definitely more quiet. Just wondering what are your thought on this and if you've been on either end of this exchange?

Oh, I do have to mention that it does take time for me to get used to people, as in really let go and be myself.
