I'm just so used to people taking my stuff and hiding it that it's my first reaction.

That sounds more like a lack of confidence.If people are taking your things and hiding them most likely they are doing it because of how you react to it.You really do not want to be that person because people will do that to you everywhere not just in school.

You say that you like the Russian girls at your school right? Well reacting to people teasing you wont make any girls particularly interested in you.Especially not a Russian or Ukrainian girl these people are pretty tough and minor things do not bother them so they will not consider a dude that gets mad when people hide his stuff particularly interesting.

And don't get to upset about being socially awkward in high school.Of course you should work on behaviors that attract unwanted attention.

You cant possibly do worse than me.I did not get picked on and no one hid my stuff from me not beyond the usual antics of friends.However I was pretty dense in the body language department and totally missed out on ques from several girls that they where interested in me.What can I say I am no Wilt Chamberlain.

I'm a lot better than I used to be on this.

No. That was Cybermat that likes the Russians. I've only gotten mad about that last week and that was the only time anybody's tried that for a few months. I don't get really mad. It's just something that slightly annoys me. I don't get up and yell and attack somebody over it. It usually is just me asking them if they took it and them laughing cause it's somewhere obvious.

Unwanted attention? I get about as much attention as a white crayon. I'm a lot better than I once was. There was that one girl that I had talked to for months and asked her out.... She avoided me for 3 weeks. She will talk to me now though.

I'm no Wilt Chamberlain either....Have you SEEN me play basketball?! I'll stick to baseball...I'm actually good at that. I'm not too great at describing myself to people who don't know me so sometimes you might think one thing when actually it's not true. But I don't know. It's 725 AM. Too early for deep thought.

Our last baseball game was rough. I saw two of my friends collide in Centerfield and one of them had to be carted off in an ambulance. He's fine now....and we ended up tying the game. I just had another friend the other day take a baseball to the throat and get knocked out. Too many injuries....

I guess your name had me associating those statements to you.I recall one of you younger guys mentioning Russian girls a few weeks back.

Your concern anyway should be can you stand to be around a particular girl/woman for so than anything else.Of course that is not something that can always be assessed.

For example I did several 3 and 4 month TDY to Turkey before I was married.Turkish woman vary widely from extremely traditional to extremely err non-traditional.A buddy of mine that was permanently posted at this base he got "stuck" in relationship that was more on the traditional end.That was not his plan but he did not want to explain this to the woman so he restricted himself to base in order to avoid her and believe me she was looking for him not to have her family kill or anything of that nature she just wanted to get married.I was half way tempted to sign her into the base so she could find my buddy but I don't think he would appreciated my humor.
