Yeah you read that title.
For me, it would be coming off as distant.
I can't help that I come off that way. It's just who I am.
I also tend to isolate myself from people a lot to recharge. Social situations are very draining for me, and I usually take part in those a lot more often now. So, isolating myself from people has been happening a lot more frequent.
Don't take it personal if I come off as a dick. It's just how I am.
I'm a dick to everyone I don't know/like.
How would I know if I don't realize it?
I've developed a stutter whenever I'm not talking.

Obviously people point it out to you.
oh also I'm told I have one of those potentially loud voices, like when I'm calling to someone a great distance away. I don't see it but apparently my voice carries throughout space if I want it to.
Occasionally I come off as "awkward," I guess. ( ಠ_ゝಠ)
People always ask me why I'm looking that them crazy, even though I'm not trying to look at them in any special way. Sometimes, I don't even realize I'm looking at them and they'll ask me this.
OH. I just remembered.
My neutral face apparently looks like I'm angry enough to kill someone.

Like. It's not like I'm super mad off, with scrunched up mouth, and scowling eyebrows.
It's just a completely passive face, except for my eyes, which apparently freak the living poop out of people.

I often get accused of giving the "death stare" when I'm not even trying to. Then again I hate many people so maybe I do it subconsciously.

I don't hate anyone. I just apparently do it.

Or like when a random picture of me ends up on facebook or wherever and everyone's like "YOU LOOK SO ANGRY" and I really wasn't showing any emotion at all.
You know, I would love to say it, but knowing this place, certain people will just take it the wrong way :/

C'mon....:)
I apparently say "uhhh" when asked a question, then the answer.

I have a habit of saying "Uhh, I dunno" even if I do know.

I have this habit as well. And then I say "Wait" and then answer it. I also apparently come off as tsundere to people who don't know me well...

Fucking this. Or sometimes I'll correct myself afterward and say "Uh, wait. Actually, [answer]."

I do this sometimes, now that I think about it. But only if I'm busy with something at the moment. Like
*watching tv*
"what's a ____?"
"uhidunno"
"wait it's a _____"
I think I have pretty good control over what I do and don't present, and no one has ever pointed out otherwise.

Apparently, my tone of voice is always rude and impolite to my parents whenever I talk normally to them--which isn't often. Something along those lines, and it's only to them.
Otherwise, people have said that I look "so sad." But it's true! :)

I think all parents are like this. Like my mom will call me and I'll be on the other side of the intercourse ing house, so I'll shout "What?" and she'll be like "Why the hell are you giving me that kind of attitude?" when I only said "What?" normally. I don't know.
Also like:
*hear name called from far away*
"WHAAAT?"
"WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT"
"OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T HEAR ME"
"DON'T TALK BACK TO ME"
and etc.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Something worth noting is that--in this context, ironically--teenagers apparently have trouble distinguishing between adults' facial expressions of anger, surprise, and the like.
So it's kind of the opposite for what we're talking about--except with talking. Adults have trouble distinguishing between teenagers' tone of voice.
One thing that I don't like that my dad does sometimes (without realizing it, I suppose) is when he's (non-angrily) yelling something to me from another part of the house, but he walks over to me while doing it, and when he gets to where I am (i.e. 3 feet away) he's still yelling as if I'd still have trouble hearing him.

Yeah that's like my mother, who would scream at the top of my lungs when calling me even if she KNEW I was just 5 feet away in the other room.
It's quite jarring. Also, "scream at the top of [my] lungs" lol
Another thing about myself that I was made aware of is that whenever I correct my dad about something he remembered or repeated wrongly, he often gets mad at me and thinks I'm a trying to be rude--when in fact, I'm just trying to gently make known to him his slowly declining mental faculties.
My parents are very often wrong, yet they think they have to be automatically right no matter what. My mother's the kind of person who, if video evidence went against what she said, she'd say the video was wrong. Really.
So yeah naturally if they say something completely wrong I have to correct it. But for some reason no matter how nicely I try to say "It's actually Y not X" it for whatever reason sounds like i'm being an poop hole about it.
