Unapproachable?

I'm very unapproachable. I think it's because I look angry all the time (so I've been told) and I don't... really smile when I don't need to be. I'm always told "You should smile more!" but I would feel like a creeper walking around by myself looking like this :D for no apparent reason. Lol. Also, when I talk to strangers I sound kind of monotone so I guess I give off the impression that I hate them, gah.
 
IRL people find me very unapproachable because of how shy I am. I pretty much never speak to anyone else and I keep myself to myself at all times so it isn't surprising that people wouldn't want to approach me. Funnily enough though from the few times that someone has had to approach me for whatever reason they've always said that I was a lot more pleasant to talk to than they thought.
I guess the same goes for online. I'm a lot less shy online, even if I still appear to be so, and I tend to warm to people a lot more. But I still reckon there are a few people who think I'm unapproachable because of the reserved way I act.
I actually quite like having people approach me online. I get to help people and that makes me feel better about myself.
 
I'm in my own little world most of the time when I'm not in a conversation with someone, so most people don't really talk to me unless I talk to them first or they really need to ask me something. I think because I look like I'm Lala land most of the time, some people think I'm unapproachable, but it really depends on the other person, because I'd rather approach someone who seems like they're kind of out there and a bit ditzy than some huge buff guy with a ton of tattoos, so I don't really know.
 
I guess that depends on how I feel while I'm out. Which is usually pretty horrible and so I like to hope I am very unapproachable most of the time BUT IDK
 
I think it goes both ways for me. I tend to come off as a bit dry and sarcastic to people on occasion, but that's because I'm really not fond of my peers at school. I'd like to consider myself approachable outside of school, though.
 
I've been told by multiple people both online and offline that I'm relatively unapproachable. The weird thing is that if people do approach me, I have a reputation for talking their ears off! Offline, it's probably due to body language; I have a tendency to appear rather stand-offish, especially in an environment with lots of new people. Online, it's probably because I don't use that many smilies in comparison to other people. That or maybe the bold and blue/orange, although even before I became a mod, people weren't lining up to talk to me. Ah well... I don't bite, honest! :D (Look, a smiley!)
