How do people act when they think you're autistic/awkward?

Post Reply New Topic

When I'm having an awkward/bad hair day I notice people approach me more. I always push those people away. Here's my reason why.
Imagine I'm a straight guy who fooled around with another guy once. If a girl approaches me in a suspiciously friendly way and she knows I fooled around with guys I'll assume she wants a gay best friend. Instead of showing genuine interest in me as a potential boyfriend or at least a friend. I feel the same about people approaching me when they think I'm awkward or quirky. They don't see me as a real equal or friend. They just see my behavior as entertaining instead of actually seeing me.

People just look at me like I'm from another planet, like "What the hell's wrong with you?" But you know what? I don't care what they think because that's on them.

Bully me, talk to other people as if I am not there

People who continuously doubt themselves or beat themselves up are more likely to project as depressed, creepy, desperate or awkward. But most people could care less how you look, because they're too wrapped up in their own lives to bother.

I don't care one way or the other. I do the things that make me happy and if they act strange around me, that's their problem.

It depends. I've had people realise I'm "vulnerable" and start picking on me. At least once someone's run away from me. Fortunately, most people are okay with it.

According to my own experiences and experiences with the culture from where I live:

If people thinks I'm awkward, first things they'd assume has anything to do with shyness and naivety.
If not, they'd assume I'm someone from another ethnic group or 'tribe' who just happened to be a bit out of place, but no surprise from anyone else.
Said other tribe DO have odd accent, wording, body language, and such which covers up autistic related oddities that has anything to do with voice, speech, nonverbal and verbal ability. It helps that my own mom IS from another 'tribe' and inherit her physical features. Hence I do not worry about 'passing' or even try. I'm merely taking advantages of norm's assumptions.

If people thinks I'm autistic, that varies.
Strangers would probably leave me alone. Or avoid me. Or get curious enough to ask me. Regardless, I could care less as long as they're not bothering me and I don't have to bother them.
If they knew me enough, they'd under- or over-estimate my abilities, maturity, experiences, and several expectations.
Some would assume I'm on high sugar on certain moods or ate something, some simply think I'm just on some cycle or some sort. But none of them considers several factors why I would think or act like as I do simply because they'd assume I operate the same way as they do.

Its not something that ever occurs to me... I dont really know.. They would have to be pretty blunt and people need to tell me how they feel or else ill just assume they have no feelings. If im being awkward/ autistic (which im always autistic?) Mostly i just get "Emily, thats Innaproriate you cant say that!" Or " shhhh emily, not here! Your being too loud!" Things like that. Is that what you mean?

I do know ONE subtle thing. Sometimes if i say something that might make another person uncomfortable , the person/people im talking too will go "ehehh......yeah......" And be really quiet. I know thats a bad thing.
