Is it possible you're just **** at reading people? It's pretty weird for a group of strangers to turn against someone like that unless they're a complete dick. Are you a complete dick?

The “aura” part, was just my way of abbreviating the signs I picked up from him. He most definitely does not like me, could be because he finds me threatening or he needs someone to pick on. Won’t get too much into it, but as of now, I’m avoiding him. Tomorrow is potentially my last class.
I most definitely am not a complete dick, possibly the complete opposite. The first week I exuded friendliness, conversation, smiles, but maybe that gave off a vibe of neediness/the stench.

Yea, sounds good in theory, but not for a person with anxieties like me. 1 in 20 people are sociopaths, or something like that. I’ve met some in my life before, and as a sensitive person/empath, confronting a potential sociopath is the most frightening thing in my world. Thanks for the advise Richard, but that’s a big nope for me

very true. The unfortunate/fortunate thing about life is that your relatability (is that a word?) with others depends on your experiences and life events. If you grew up in the same town, went to the same schools, had the same friends and went to the same parties, you’ll have a group of kids that are able to relate with you on your deepest levels. On the other hand, if you grew up in a warring state, had guns waived around your face and lived in poverty, experienced dark depressions, then moved to go to university in suburbia USA, you won’t have as many people able to relate with you, isolating you even further, darkening you even further.
The lesson here is, you may have no say in what kind of person you turn out to be. Your experiences could churn you out to be the most demonic person, or the most moral and angelic person.
You just have to run good, from beginning to end.

For what it's worth I'm also in the camp of "manning up" and facing one of your classmates on what it is that bothers them. If nothing else, at least you'll know.
How's the apartment coming along?
Apartment is great overall, I’m feeling healthier with a better food intake. I’m not in full survival mode on the streets, which takes some of the edge off.
Been catching up on some TV shows and Movies. Just recently saw the Revenant. I’m actually not a fan. Maybe I missed something, but I feel like it’s only 1 level deep, it’s just a survival/revenge story. 5/10
