Hey /adv/, I'm a little bit concerned about my behavior and how it affects others.
I'm a no-bullshit type of guy and I fear I might blow up on someone who is doesn't deserve it. I come off very stern and it deters most people until they talk to me.
My concern comes from my experience at college this semester, where I get very agitated at shy people. I hate small talk with a passion and while nothing really bad has happened, a good friend pointed out that I sound very stern, almost like I'm a professor to people I don't know.
I believe I need to find a way to come off nicer but being friendly isn't exactly my strong suit, despite me having many good friends. What should I do?

were you bullied in the past? I behave this way also but I'm a softie inside

I was, yeah. I'm supposing my behavior is a direct result of that.

I was the same all the way to age 23 until my partner pushed me to be more social. It just came with practice. I had to lower my defenses around other people and relax my tone and learn to allow my emotions to come out instead of sounding blocked off all the time. It just comes with practice.
