Does somepeople told you that you are unapproachable?
I am a quiet kind of person. And most of people first impression to me is I am unapproachable or unfriendly. well, that is just my defensive mechanism because I know I cant please all people. But when people get to know me...they dont want to leave me anymore. They want to talk to me all the time. people want my attention which wearies me actually. And its changes now their views of me. They have a good comment to me now. But I just dont care really if people I dont know or not my friend will comment me not good.
how about you?

i don't see being quiet or shy as being unapproachable because I am also both and find I am approachable. I think unapproachable people are the ones who look stern or mad or strict. they do not give you good feeling that you can approach them. I guess we should not judge a book by its cover and should not rate people as approachable or not but I guess its human nature to avoid conflict or to interfere when we think we shouldn't. I have found in past some people smile and seem approachable but afterwards you wish you never fell for the false impression.. and also found people who look harsh or unapproachable to be kind hearted and sincere. :)
