Often I feel as if people class me as not normal, but I can't fathom out why. If I was some sort of wierd sex maniac or murderer or something like that, I would pretty much know I wasn't normal... But I'm not any of those things. Yet, I often feel that somehow, from the ways that I am percieved, that somehow I am not normal?
It is wierd. It almost makes me want to do something daft just so I can give myself an excuse for how people sometimes relate to me.
It could be that either what I say can be taken a totally different way from the way I see things, or that maybe my body language stands out as someone shifty? Though the reality is that shifty people blend into society. It is why they can get away with the crimes they commit.
What do I do to act or behave as normal? How do I do it? To be honest, whatever I do or say does not seem to help. I tend to try and isolate myself as I am sensitive to not wanting to cause others to fear. It is easier to kill myself then cause people to be frightened of me. So, I keep myself at arms length. I avoid social occasions. Suits me as I am not keen on such places anyway.
I do get along fine with the elderly, but not so much with people my age or less. But when I am elderly, I won't have elderly to get along with... 
What do I do?
Does anyone else feel this way on occasions?

Of course you aren't normal.
This is a website for those on the spectrum.
Nobody here who is autistic is "normal".

You're a normal citizen of Wrong Planet

Sometimes I think that I am normal and everyone else in the world is not, except you lot 
I don't feel normal though.

I have literally said this throughout my life: I have never met a "normal" person.

You might wanna get counseling from a shrink.
We are not there in your offline life to observe your behavior so we cant coach you.
You imply that its your behavior (not your words, or what you talk about) that causes folks to keep you at arms length. None of us here in internet country can observe your behavior and demeanor.

Mom said that once. That she had come to conclusion "that all people are weird".
But if that's so then there is a core population of folks who know how to keep their individual weirdness under wraps, and are able to present a "normal" socially acceptable side to the world to survive.

A shrink? Aren't they rich people in the Middle East who deal in oil? My brother did put me on youtube a few years ago. I could find a link?
Well.....I guess that you are ...NOT normal. At least in your grasp of slang.
A "shrink".
Not a "sheik".
"Shrink" is short for "head shrinker" ( ie psychologist/psychiatrist).
I guess watching you on U Tube might gives us all a clue to your demeanor.

Yes. And we know we are not crazy, so it has to be everyone else doesn't it!
