Are you always noticed?

Post Reply New Topic

I always get noticed. I think it's cos I'm tall too though, not just the strangeness of autism. I think aloneness gets noticed, attracts curiosity - the most invisible I feel is when I'm with a friend, people really treat you differently when you're 'with' someone.

Teachers and employers have always singled me out as someone to watch, they think we're 'wronguns' or 'challengers' so they have to watch us, ugh.

The older and wrinklier I get, the less I get noticed ha, one of the good things about aging is it gives one a certain level of anonymity.

I like to be noticed for being really intellectual and a better person than others around me.

That sums up my experiences in public, since about adolescence (the point at which I got too old to be cute and grew into just "weird").

Also though I would get people walking up to me a lot and talking. I didn't know this was weird until I walked around with a friend who (after we were interrupted by 2 or 3 people walking up and talking to me) said, "Do people always walk up to you this much?"

Often it is fellow strange people who approach me. I don't always acknowledge them, but I don't tell them to go away and that's enough for some people. So I have heard lots of conspiracy theories and stuff.

Also though I have had cult recruiters walk up to me a lot too.

And when I was about 23 or 24 I had a man and woman walk up to me and start touching me, and talking about sex. I had a koosh ball on my lap (I have lost it and never been able to replace it it was a so-soft koosh ball in lavender) and the man said he had one just like that in the car and that he would show it to me if I came to his car. My non-responsiveness probably saved my life, but I didn't realize it was a trick until hours later when I was at home. I didn't until then even know people tried that trick on adults.

I seemed to be famous when I was in high school. Everyone knew me, even some kids in middle school and elementary school. It was freaky but there must have been gossip about me and kids in my school had little brothers or sisters so maybe they heard about me from them and they tell their friends about it in school. I was famous alright but didn't have friends. I was maybe disliked by lot of people and people thought bad of me but I will never know. I can remember a girl in the resource room telling me it makes her mad when she hears people talking about me and I asked her why and what do they say and she said she would tell me later. She never did. Either she forgot or she didn't want to tell me. Or were they saying good things about me and she got jealous. Or were they bad things and she didn't want to tell me or it would have hurt my feelings and upset me.

I am noticed but I am not always talked to.

People notice me alot.

I would get hit on alot by boys. Ever since I started using my white cane,though,it seems that people either avoid me or are overly-friendly,overly-helpful,and too LOUD.

I dressed like a guy for a while,and it got me some attention from girls(YAY!! !). But,I've started dressing like a girl again,so now it's gone back to the boys.

Imma freak magnet...

No more than anyone else..., well, what I am aware of anyway. Everyone looks at one another for the most part, so just because I see someone looking at me doesn't mean said person doesn't look at everyone else.

I do my best to remain unnoticed, and to blend in; if you're just a part of the crowd, no one can point you out for bullying.

I'm of mixed race in Iowa, so I get noticed just by being alive. And I'm very active in class. And I'm not shy about voicing my opinions in class. I get noticed. Always have, and I suspect, I always will.

I am not very noticed. It bothers me sometimes when I am not esp by one of my good friends. It really hurts.

I have a hard time grabbing peoples attention. Sometimes I don't care.
