Yeah I guess there is a difference. Like this kid I used to work with, who was like....DESPARATELY nerdy (28 years old, lived with mom, wears business dress clothes EVERYWHERE, pocket protector, the like). Which is fine actually, I'm not knocking the kid, but the problem is, he was one of these vampires. He just exuded negativity, and beat himself up whenever possible. WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Spilling a few drops of coffee on his shirt turns into "I suck, I'll never have a girlfriend." So me and this girl from work tried really hard for a couple of years to include him in everything, get him outta the house, get him out and about, try and build some social confidence for the guy. We DID manage to get him to move outta his folks place finally and attempt to have a life of his own, but the rest of it didn't work. And after you spend that kind of energy and effort trying to help somebody and they don't want it, you just sorta give up. (I'm too nice for my own good)
