What do the recurrent people in your life think of you?

Post Reply New Topic

Like, do they recognize that you are "different" and try to help or hinder you?
Do they think you are just a rude person?
Do they think you're...lazy? Most of us arent.
Or do they just think you're normal and a fine and dandy guy/gal?

anyone i know thinks i am:

lazy
greedy
mental
miserable

and to an extent i am.

They always see me as 'their little sister' 'it's like I'm your mother' etc., weird, not able to take care of myself...

But it's all true. I need their help... My parents stopped taking care of me but it just got replaced by my close friends.

Weird. I just asked somebody at achool for their thoughts, generally "Socially moronic crazy genius"

most people treat me normally
I haven't really told a lot of people about me having asperger's....only 2 of my close friends

To be honest, I don't give a sh*t.

They think I'm different and weird, but they seem to tolerate me.

Weird but brilliant. Perhaps a little rude sometimes when I'm too vocal about my opinions. I've been called enlightened but judgmental.

Although I selected the "weird, and they make fun of me" option, I could barely decide between that and "normal". The only reason that I chose what I chose was because I decided to take into account my average peer's opinion of me. The "normal" choice was really tempting me, though, but then I realized that would only account for my closest friends and teachers, so I didn't vote for it.

Anyway, many of my peers won't admit to what they find "off" about me, especially my friends. Yet when I ask some of my more distant friends/favorable acquaintances what they believe that holds me back socially, they say it's my manner of speech. My rather grating voice sounds like what you'd expect the bastard lovechild of Minnie Mouse and Porky Pig to sound like (it's rather high pitched, and I tend to stutter and speed up my words a little bit, especially when excited).

The less favorable people are a bit more vocal. Since most of my peers grew up alongside me, I feel as if they define me by how I behaved, for example, in middle school, rather than who I am now as I prepare to graduate from high school. Some of the main, indisputable flaws I've been informed of is that I have a tendency to come off as stalkerish with really good friends and/or those whom I am attracted to, and my (quite specific) personal favorite: that I am simply "annoying," with no reasoning given. :/
