I have Mercury opposite my Asc, and I am pretty sure that I come off differently than I mean to with people often enough (at least in person).Some people get it, and can laugh at my quirks (I have Aqua Mercury and Leo Asc), but a lot of people don't. The longer people are around me, the more they seem to enjoy my quirkiness (although some people like it right off the bat, but they're a bit rare). I tend to blurt, and not care much for social niceties.
If I'm around people who enjoy being judgmental and sanctimonious, it's likely that we'll never hang out in our spare time.
I always thought it was my 11H Saturn, but I suppose both placements combine to make me a bit idiosyncratic.
My Mercury is otherwise well aspected, and my Asc as well.
Also...I have Mercury trine Pluto and sextile Neptune, and it's always been way better for me to engage in one-on-one communication rather than in a group. I can hold my own at a large party, but not with close groups of people as much. That could again be my 11H Saturn, though.
