Being a forgetful space cadet, and being extremely set in my ways. And occasionally waxing on about tea varieties if the topic arises. :mrgreen:

OMH! You are NOT naive, kraftiekortie! They might believe so, but I certainly don't see it. Your understanding of subtlety belies their complaints in spades.

For me, people always criticize me for being a legalistic know-it-all. I couldn't possibly know what I spent 30 years or more doing as a profession and avocation in government. It tweaks me, but only for a short time.

How much of what others complain about and criticize is really just a projection of their own misunderstandings and mistakes?

When I say 'make fun' I also mean what are the things that people say to you are your "faults"? Or what is it that people always bring up about you when they're arguing with you or you make them angry? For me, I've been given grief by my "best friend" for not disrespecting or lying to my parents ever, for living with them and for getting cold easily or having back pain/cramps and not wanting to hang out. And the people are always saying to me that I need to stop care what other people are thinking and it's not that it's that I am constantly thinking about what the world and what my movements and everything are to the people around me and how I'm effecting them and how they're interpreting everything around them. Sometimes I think I can feel people but when I interpret things wrong and people say that I'm wrong it makes me wonder if they're just being pretentious like people are taught to be in American society. I get the feeling that people my age (and older) think I'm a spoiled brat. But since I grew up surrounded by the materialistic things I needed I have learned that money and materialism don't bring balance or true "happiness". And that's just because I live with them. I guess people assume they've bought me stuff my entire life which is the exact opposite. People always try to make me feel spoiled for accepting my parents help. But if I were to decline their help other people would think that I was ungrateful. Do people resent when parents help their kids because their parents weren't like that? I've never cared about my friends family lives or how much money my friends make or even if they made money.

The reason, I believe, why people make fun of other peopleis because the honest truth is that they feel inferior themselves. So they want to make you feel bad too, so maybe they will feel better about themselves.

Not to sound racist by stating absolute facts, but, this is why the Europeans enslaved melanated peoples for as long as they did. And yet, Black people are still "slaves" to them. They successfully made us feel extremely inferior because they hate themselves deep down. Perhaps not all white people do, but most.

They made Black people feel so damn lousy about themselves they try to look "normal" or white by straightening out their natural, God-given curly hair or they will get butt, tits, and lip implants to woo white men who are fascinated yet disgusted with black femininity.

Now, I am prepared for "you're a racist!" bashing comments but I will keep speaking truth even if it gets me banned.

I would die for the good of my Afro-American people.

God bless!

Evidence, Please?

Something other than a statement of your own personal prejudice, or some twisted interpretation of your favorite passage from your favorite 'holy' book or preacher.

Indeed. My DNA and family history is nothing but white European. But, no one in my North American pedigree owned any slaves (I don't vouch for my religious ancestors like Muhammad or my royal ancestors like King David). In fact, my extremely white Scottish and Irish ancestors included a family who were themselves either sharecroppers or indentured servants to slave-owning plantation owner(s). My great grandmother was educated by the slaves who worked beside her, not the slave owner(s).

As a long-time genealogist, I believe that every human should have the ability to be proud of his or her ethnic and racial ancestry. If I can be proud of my Celtic and Viking ancestry, you should be able to be proud of your black and African ancestry, too. It is cool; after all, my own genetic pedigree from 70,000 to 100,000 years ago was African, too. But, let's not make generalized descriptions of each others' races which are clearly not always true.

For being precise, pedantic, and - most of all - for generally being right.

People usually point out my lack of attention. I seem to have trouble focusing on anything, which makes me look confused. The object blindness is the worst thing of all. I HATE object blindness!! !

By default, I tend to be literal. So if I am tired or overtaxed in any way, I tend to take the things people say at face value. I don't do this when I am not tired or overtaxed. I think I have learned to compensate for the tendency, but when I can't compensate, it is obvious.

I also, apparently, think in too much detail. I don't really understand what that means, but I get that feedback a lot.

I sometimes get up and leave a room in the middle of a conversation because I think of something else and don't realize the conversation is still going on. Conversely, sometimes I try to continue a conversation after everyone else thinks it is over. I have been known to get to the middle of a sentence and not know how I had planned to finish it, or what point I was trying to make.

LOL! Whenever I read my answers to posts like this, I question my self NON-diagnosis! :lol:

Thank you. We may not always see eye-to-eye, but it seems we agree 100% on this. Judging by your pedigree, we may also have at least one common ancestor!

My enjoyment and knowledge of genealogy has frequently allowed me to find common ancestors between my friends and I. They think it is creepy (to be related to me or that I could so easily determine our relationship in either case). I consider it just a fact of human nature.

So, I suspect that if you are connected to any Euro royals or early North American colonials, we would certainly be cousins.

My oddity since I ever went to elementary... My "craziness".

For being literal.
... not getting their jokes. (Especially adult jokes)
... having the wrong tone of voice, which gives wrong expression.
... having this goddamned allergy.
... being picky.
... my walking gait sometimes.
... my cold sensitivity when I'm the only one complaining about it.

That's not all I'm sure.

I quite often receive numerous death threats online for either saying I hate porn, or for simply drawing.

Currently, I get made fun of mostly for my sensory issues and various sensitivities.

For being too 'intense' when worked up or competitive.
For preferring other activities over and avoiding socialization.
