I wouldnt really want to comment because I dont really know the full details - but I kinda get what you mean. I think its something about me too - I just constantly feel inferior based on how others react to me - but thats a whole area I could get into and talk a lot about.
You take notice and engage with people though Mikey, you have an amazing ability to make people warm up to you, and they do it, because you make them feel like they matter - even if you do get it wrong occasionally, its not a crime, everyone sometimes doesnt "get it" - I dont think people see you as a burden at all - I think people see you as someone that simply cares - but I know that its difficult to believe when you feel otherwise.
