She fears me because I am the "strong, silent" type and she thinks I am psychotic and bound to break at any minute. Anyone else have this problem? I already have self confidence/self image problems and these just worsen it. How do I deal with it?

People tell me I give off a really bad vibe and give off some of the coldest stares. My friends call me Micheal Scofield lol. They say I look like if I'm angry! XD But that's just my sexy eyes :( They just call me a ninja...but it's all good >-> IceTeaEdwin Posted at 5:33 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 Quote: from tell me again at 7:30 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 How about suggesting some thoughtful things.. like grabbing brunch together on a Sunday morning? Or ask her how her day was. You might just have to do it once or twice for her to stop get over being paranoid about you. How 'fearful' is she anyway? Pff, we don't need no momma time.  So long as she stops telling us that she's scared, is all good.
