Yeah for crossposting!! And yeah I have no idea what LJ did to the posting interface (or editing) but I discovered it the other day and promptly backed away slowly. Or quickly rather.
Your approach to people liking you probably does well because it means you seem to exude confidence and there is nothing people find more attractive than that, platonic or otherwise. People like confident people - maybe it subconsciously helps them feel more confident themselves, thus boosting their self-esteem? Whatever the case, it's attractive and I need to learn how to do it again. I used to and then I got really self-conscious for a number of reasons and I'm trying to get over it again.
