Mmm, not what I'm saying. They see you at home in a different context. Maybe they've heard things about you, or expect things from you that prevent them from getting close.
Here...we have no such thing. It's a blank slate. I think all you'd need is to find others that don't have such expectations, perhaps. Like here.
And what should we know, Damien? People judge others based on what they see. You being a bit grouchy isn't some big sign telling people to stay away. I've known worse, personally.

[She actually does consider that for a moment.]
Maybe the people around you here are different enough from the ones around you at home. And also, I think some realize you're mostly bark, not bite.

So what? It's just... Luck of the draw with who you're stuck with?

Guess no one back home knew anyone worse.

If you're the worst your home has to offer in people's eyes, maybe its not that bad. And here I was thinking it was hellish.
