Anyone been compared to the Vulcan race (or Mr. Spock)?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was a freshman in high school, people used to call me Mrs. Spock due to my logical way of thinking and lack of emotion.

Now they call me Saavik since that character came into play.


Anyone else considered by the people of the Earth as Vulcanian?

I always identified with Spock - I don't remember anyone calling me that, though.

It's funny how men tend to approach relationships that way... identify the problem, fix the problem, move on. Women want to talk about their emotions and how something made them feel, or they just want someone to 'listen' and make reassuring noises and gestures without really thinking about doing anything that would change the situation.

Aspies are from Mars, too far from Venus?

Stereotypes are from Earth.

Really though, women and men are socialized to act this way. Boys are taught not to talk about their emotions or cry; women are taught not to offer solutions lest they look to aggressive or demanding. If everyone were socialized to move towards the middle ground a little, I think it would be better for both genders.


Back on topic, though, I always admired Spock, but I didn't identify with him because I was the loud, rambling kind of Aspie who sings at inappropriate times and rattles on about things that don't interest anyone else. Spock was quiet, so I didn't think I was very much like him. I always hated when the women chose Kirk over him, though. I didn't understand how anyone couldn't see that Kirk was a blustering egotist.

yes but I don't consider myself very intelligent so I have no idea why someone would think that about me

My husband was called Mr. Spock. I'm along the autism spectrum, too but when I'm with people I get so anxious that I talk a lot. Then I spend a lot of time recovering alone. Interactions take a lot out of me. My husband and I are high on the autism spectrum but we react very differently around people.

My son is very very quiet and thoughtful. He's been diagnosed with high functioning autism.

Doctor Who,mebbe?

Mr. Spock was one of my role models as a kid. The other was Phileas Fogg from "Around the World in 80 Days".

Hans Asperger formulated the idea that autism is an extreme form of masculinity. I guess that makes us all super-studs.

My husband reminds me of spock a little. Spock was the reason i ever watched star trek... grrrrrr

Yeah. My mom and I always got into arguments, and when she was upset for some illogical reason, I would calmly explain why the remark was phrased a particular way that had nothing to do with insulting anyone, and then proceed to argue the reasons for what I was originally suggesting (whether it was a particular route to take, or the order to stop at various places - when it turned out that her original plans were more logical and I had simply failed to take into account some unforeseen factor, such as having to pick up her purse or keys or credit card or glasses or some such at one place before we could go other places, and that would alter the relative distances between us and the places we planned to go, I would immediately concede that this was the more logical action to take, but it would really piss her off in the meantime).

No because I don't lack emotions and I dont act too logical. That is an aspie stereo-type.
I have always been considered over-sensitive.

Romulan then?

I identify with the Vulcans. It's not that Vulcans are unemotional, it's that they must suppress their emotions because they are so strong. Remind you of someone?

I have actually never seen Star Trek in my life. I read the post and just assumed that Vulcans felt no emotions at all.
I do suppress my emotions in public but at home I am very over-emotional.
I dont have any idea what Romulan is? I am probably one of the only people that have never seen that show.

I've never been called/compared to a Vulcan or Spock, but I identify myself with them. I can't show my emotions, my face looks the same no matter how I feel. Oh, and lately the only emotions I'm having is stress and fear...

I identify with Spock. I got attention and help for myself by telling a leader of a group for coping skills that I am like Spock all of the time.

I, myself, didn't identify with mr. Spock. However, last year we had a star trek themed week at work and they made a photoshoped version of me as a Vulcan. It looked quite ''realistic'' adn I asked them if I really leave Spock impression. They said: totally.

I got the Mr Spock taunt a lot in the past. Most of the time it was a cruel jibe from my father. I think however that learning about and working on your non-verbal language will make the Mr Spock taunt less likely.
