The grim man at the corner of the street

There’s a pretty grim man who lives in the corner of my street. Mommy tells me to not go near him, and I'm sure the other kid's parents also tell them the exact same thing.

He’s tall and maybe handsome under the hood and the long cloak he always wears. He lives alone, and not many people come to meet him too. The kids in the locality make fun of him for being such a stuck-up, though in reality he’s just a bit aloof and shy guy with social anxiety, He’s actually pretty smart though, I’ve heard, he is said to have thought of some of the most creative ideas to get his work done.

He is a career oriented man who has a reputation of being pretty ruthless with whoever gets in his way. He is a good man though, he is working on himself and his anxiety, and after the many extremely expensive therapy sessions with one of the most reputed therpists in the county, he has even begun trying to meet and befriend new people in order to make up for all the loneliness he’s faced right from his abusive childhood to his friendless present. All the humiliation and the hurt he has experienced always comes back to him in flashes whenever he tries to move forward, even though he really is trying. The lack of human contact has made him bad at this kind of thing, and as a result he gets too impatient and rough and violent with people he initially likes, and he always ends up losing them in the process.
