lydia also hardly ever smiles and her body language is rather aggressive. even when she asked arron about sitting at the table it seemed like an attack because of the way she said it. almost everything she says, even though she doesnt mean it like that, comes across as a reproach. and when the others feel attacked by that she goes into this condescending "im not bothered/i dont want to talk about it" mode but then you see her bitching about it in the garden. she needs to make up her mind whether she gives a damn or not, so far she obviously does care. as she said herself, shes surprised to find herself being the outsider, shes probably always the popular one. hence probably why shes always so miserable.

all in all i really think its the way she moves/sits there, looks at people and the way she talks that comes across as aggressive and unapproachable. instead of focusing on the "gang" and how to destroy them she should focus on her own little group and how to enjoy herself with them.

I do understand what you are saying but I disagree with the bolded bit, it seemed to me that Arron was looking to pick a fight with her. Lydia appeared to me to be just trying to make conversation as she said at the time.
