Not to sound too arrogant but..

This may be hilarious, but for me it is a huge issue. I have the feeling that I attract people, but they somehow feel intimidated by me which makes me instantly act as if they were inferior to me. I am then too proud to make any move that could hint I am interested. Arguably enough, I grew up in Delhi where they cultivate your hubris as something honourable. I wish everyone was more daring with me, more challenging in conversations, but they seem only interested in jumping your bones rather than testing my mind.
