How do you get people to trust you, or at least to see you as a non-threatening ally? I know you have to build up trust over time but I constantly get misinterpreted and my real intentions (which are good, I try to be a kind person) are often obscured.

Dont screw over your best friend for popularity thats all i say............being "evryones friend" or an ally anong evryone isnt worth it when you lose a best friend and once they step down and out there gone forever so just know that. I will never be back the way i was before with my old friend. Its just over now all because she wanted to be evryones friend just because she afraid of the people who dont like me at school and are "after me"

It doesn't matter what sex I am, we're all just humans trying to be understood and accepted.

Well, at the moment my main goal is to establish a handful, or at least one, very good friend or best friend. I'm not talking about cutting corners to win over trust from a large group of people like some dictator, I just want to let people know that they can trust me and that I won't harm them or betray their trust..

Well normally I would say be yourself, but you obviously aren't good at that : p

I'm a little too good at it, I guess the real me scares people, so I'd like to know how I should act to be socially acceptable.
It isn't an issue with manners/maturity/hygiene/etc. but I believe its something social, most likely something subtle as well...

Try not to talk so much, and if you tend to talk technical with a big vocabulary, don't do it as much. Hang out with them, be funny.

Don't go online and google jokes, just have fun. People will like that.

first you should trust others, and listen to others whole-hearted

Tried that, I was naive and ended up losing all my money and a lot of my things to people wanted to "borrow" it.
