What makes a person creepy?

Crap, I think I resemble some of that list.

"ambiguity of threat" is exactly the first thing i thought of when i saw this question (again). you find something creepy if you don't know if it will hurt you or not, - your fight or flight response isn't triggered in the same way a huge semi truck barreling towards you would.

I just watched a video which talks about the study linked to in this thread on creepiness: How to Appear Less Creepy | What is the Nature of Creepiness?

You can see this doc is no ASD expert, since he seems surprised anyone would be asking this question .

I find the trait of "thin" being creepy interesting. It doesn't surprise me but I'm sure why that would be. I am thin and have always find in difficult to gain weight.

It depends upon what various individuals think creepy is. Scott Adams once said; "Everybody is somebody's weirdo." I found that to be very liberating.
