...Well, for one thing I think I'm considered arrogant. And I am. But I usually pull it off in such a way that it's genuinely funny as opposed to obnoxious. At least to people who know me.
A lot of people wonder how I have any friends at all because I'm such a piece of shit, but... then others say I'm very enigmatic.
I'm very different around people I don't know a great deal. I tend to ignore them until they come on to my radar. That feeds other people's opinion of me as an arrogant guy, but it's more that I wouldn't really know what to say to those people, and they'd probably just be offended if I behaved like "myself", whatever that means. I'm also very happy by myself, and have no need to be with others. Often I prefer it; I'll stay at home even when invited out various places just because I'd rather listen to music or something.
In summary, I'm a bastard, but a lot of people want to be friends with me I guess. Also since I've been at university I've found I get along better with the lay-dees than guys, but I think that's because they're all dull. At school it was the diametric opposite situation. I'm also a little less intimidating nowadays, though I think I'm still very much a leader figure than a "tag along" type.
EDIT: And I reckon it'd be funny to see all the long-time boarders in a room together... they'd probably all be staring at the floor with their hands nervously shoved in their pockets or something...
