I am a male high school student and I am a volunteer teacher at my church's daycare facility. I love it, the kids love me, and the job as a role model to the children is great. One thing is, I think that some of the other teachers (All female) seem to write me off as "freaky" or "scary". I'm a huge guy, 6'1", 200 Ibs, so that could be why.
I have friends that are cool and just everybody thinks that they are so great and when they get around kids, they are great with them and people think it's cute. However, when I get around kids in front of people, I *think* that I give off a "scary" vibe. I don't know for sure that that's the case, but I still feel it. I don't want to seem scary to people. I'm a very soft-hearted person and I love to work with kids, but I think that people think that I'm freaky. Does anybody know how I can stop feeling so "freaky"?
