I have an excellent feel for insecurities too. If you're insecure about something, I'll surely mention it, even if in a positive way, and make you embarrassed - therefore anti-me.

You would bring up that I offend people, you just couldn't let it pass!

I thought I offended people due to my existance, now I think it is due to theirs.

Everytime I offer a simple solution they become offended, I was just trying to help. Yea, death may hurt, but then, nothing!

My latest tactic is offending people, totally. If you were younger, taller, had better hair, made more money, and had any friends, you would understand.

What is it like to go through life with a low normal IQ and no talents?

Yes, you have a right to exist, but no real need to!

Let me guess, your parents were drunk at a family reunion, before they "had" to get married?

If you don't mind, I was having a conversation with the dog!

It does run in your family!

I can see why you have to move often.

There is medication that can help you.

It is not just me, everyone hates you.

If I needed advice, you would be the last person I would ask.

If I believed what you said, we would not be having this conversation.

It's called Theory of Mind, I really can't imagine being you.

Sometimes I'll say or write something in an e-mail without thinking about it. I'll talk about cooking with alcohol in front of a Mormon without realizing that it was against their beliefs.

I try my best not to offend anybody but sometimes I say things too bluntly.

How?

It just happens. :lol:

I have a tendency to be blunt, very blunt...and I threw away the social rulebook a long time ago, because I could never remember all the rules anyway.

My mother won't let me talk about cockroaches in public. Even just dicusing them scientificaly. :? I also found some bones from some domestic cats in our yard (our neighbor was a horder and was not feeding them. My dad did admit to shooting some of them because they were becoming a neucence). I had found a skull the other day and brought it in to show my mom. She told me to throw that nasty thing away becuase I did not know what it died from. I hid it in a secret location so I can study it later. I pointed out a cat pelvis and told her it was okay becuase the cats were shot and did not die of a disease. She told me to be quiet because the lady who "owned" them might hear and it might hurt her feelings. If my dad hadn't shot them they would have died from starvation anyway. I also tend to point at people when bringing them the attention to others. Just bluntless. Not actualy trying to be rude. I've seen other people be just as rude such as people tell me how good steak tasted when they knew I was a vegan.

I offend people in different ways. My help can offend people, things I talk about or comments I make, how I react to things, sometimes my honesty gets me into trouble, me being literal, etc.


I used to offend my boyfriend a lot when we met but he says he has gotten so used to it he doesn't get offended anymore or shocked.

I have a special ability for telling any given person exactly that which that specific person doesn't want to hear.

Reality is a many layered thing topic

Like an onion. I like to peel away, get at some sort of core, even if the core itself has layers.

Even the layers have layers. Lay an egg, and I will break it.

Have I off-ended yet? :P

my worst trait was forever repeating myself
but I think that I have it under control now.

being over friendly is also an Aspie standard.
finding that fine line is very difficult.

also, my worst trait was forever repeating myself
but I think that I have it under control now.

I love steak, I have mine blue, which is basically raw and bloody, I prefer filet mignon uncooked, like in Carpaccio, which is served as an appetizer.

I love to offend vegetarians and vegans
