Well, this is only my theory but here it goes:  I am tall, mid-thirties and reasonably attractive.  I have healthy cute kids, a happy marriage, and I live in a nice neighborhood.  I am in a desirable profession (think law, business, medicine).  My kids behave (at least in public) and my house looks decent.  So I think that people look at me as being too perfect, judgmental etc.  I look at myself as not being anything unusual and there are many areas of improvement.  The one thing is I don't like drama, don't have drama (long-term) in my life.  Maybe your husband is on to someting.[/quote]

This.  This is my problem.  Believe me, I'm far from perfect -- and my true friends know that -- but I have been told by others that I am too good at keeping it together.  Thus, I intimidate people and they think that I think that I am too good for them.  I know this because a friend of a friend told me that she didn't invite me over because she was envious of "the package."  The package?  Yes, the fact that I have it all put together in one package.  I asked our mutual friend about this and she told me that I do come off as intimidating.  So, I've tried to be a little more self-deprecating when I'm in groups but it's just not me.  I don't whine and complain about my husband or kids.  I like my life.  It's hard to have friends when misery loves company.  [/quote]

This is interesting, I personally would never think in this way but I guess others do.  Can you elaborate more about what others meant about "the package?"  [/quote]
