I've always been a bit puzzled as to why so many people, especially the elderly, seem to like me so much. I do have good manners but I've never exactly been much of a people pleaser. From time to time I even worry that what if I just unconscioussly manage to manipulate people to like me or I'm simply just so good at hiding who I truly am.

Then again when I get into an argument with someone online and they call me an asshole, all I can think of is "well yes, I am, but in this particular case you're just misunderstanding me"

old folks don't have time for no bullshit. lay it straight because they've seen it all before and anything else is an insult.

I’ve never exactly been much of a people pleaser.

Perhaps that's why people like you.
