Often times, I am told that I shouldn't take these things personally - as they aren't really personally. I just simply take them as such.
I do the EXACT same thing. I often come across as cold to strangers. Probably because I am absolutely empty inside in the "nice" department. I exhaust my supplies on friends and family. They are the ones that can reduce me to tears with a word.
