Cuteness

Post Reply New Topic

Well, if you're psychotic, then so am I because I feel the same way when I see something really cute. I get this really excited shaky feeling inside, and I just want to squish, and pinch the object of cuteness, which is puppies, kittens, and some babies. I didn't used to feel this way about babies, until I became a parent, though. Don't know why that changed.

On the contrary, I get really irritated when people use the word cute to describe other things ie: "this is such a cute shirt!" or "My date is cute." I don't know why that it bothers me so much, but I have a major aversion to such uses of the word 'cute'.

My cute bird is psychotic and extremely cute. In fact, he is the cutest thing known to mankind and him being psychotic brings more cuteness. He believes he is God. How do I know this? When I walk over to him, he dips his head and keeps on doing it until I bow to him. When I don't bow, he cries. When I tell him he is NOT God, he cries.

EXACTLY how I see it. Though, prehaps maybe some of socaiety say's make's sense but, meh...it's all just bogus sterio types anyways. :-/

I like doggies though. n_n Personally I think their just the cutest...x3

Of course...I own one lol He's a Shiba Inu, and he look's like a fox ^_^ x3

But he should try to not be soo naughty at times, but meh...he's just being himself I suppose...but he does bring me happiness.


I'm likin' those words, even if I don't know what a 'marginallization' mean's.

And Mrs. Pacman's a badass...even though it's been awile since I last played her lol

This is starting to becoming quite the intresting topic now...o-o

I wonder if this wandered out of the Women's Issues forum...

I tend to ignore 'cute'. Rainbow Pony, Disney Channel, all that stuff after awhile gets on my nerves... But they don't write this stuff for middle-aged men...

There's a scene in 'Animal House', where one of the characters hears folk music for the first time. Something's wrong, until he grabs the guitar, and smashes it against the wall until it's in splinters. That's sort of how I feel about excess cuteness (though I wouldn't act that way...

Ya thats what happens when I see my boyfriend!! !

I just run up to him and sueeze him so hard cause he is just sooooo cute! I feel overwhelmed with love and emotion i just need to hug him !

He dosent mind though he loves getting very tight hugs, he calls them "crunch hugs" .

I like cute things, but I'm a guy, so I tend to hold back on my liking of cute things (and some things that are girly cute just aren't cute). I do not think that food is cute (sorry PETA, gonna have to try harder than sea kittens to stop me from eating fish), as food is food, and my favourite thing in the world is food. I may think that puppy is cute, but I also wonder what he'd taste like on my plate. I want to try every edible meat apart from bugs though, so thats why I don't see food as cute. I love kittens though, their fur is so soft, and they are so cute. Again though, I want to try cat as well. I do not find horses cute, there is nothing cute about them, they are just a girly fetish, and an interesting Italian food I want to try. Food can be cute, but its even cuter in my mouth being eaten. I don't want a cute dog when I someday get one, I want a big german shepherd, something that is big but still lovable.

I wish people would STOP the 'labeling' of 'cute' being 'girly'...it's just driving me to an early grave...

Ehhh but you probably didn't mean to but that comment that way...i'm sure you were just trying to help...

Soo thank you overall.

I hate having autism now though... Really, I just want to be a normal 'girly' girl. Either that, or, a regular tomboy/nerd...without the 'guilt' about whether or not I happon to 'like' or can't STAND things that are 'cute'....

This is probably why I obsess soo much...once I stop obsessing, I may just end up finding REAL animals 'too cute' after awile, as well as everything else.

It seem's a lot of people here are at least OK with cute things...though *sigh* No one really see's it the way as I do...which is just as well.....

Does Autism...REALLY have to play such a 'role' over one's personality, like, how 'girly' or 'boyish' we're supposed to be overall while 'growing up'? Even girly girls here like Lightning...*sigh* It's not like she wasn't a tomboy, OR hated the girly pink as a kid...

I wasn't that much of a tomboy as a kid at all, though I did like video games (but should been more into PLAYING them maybe really...) and playing outdoors a lot, like I said. And I still loved the color pink...now I sorta hate and love the color pink and feel somewhat sexualy attracted to it a little, strange as that sound's...

Once, I thought of this quote...prehaps someone here will agree with it....and I may of just as well made it up on my own, but prehaps there is some truth to it... It is:

"Once they lose all insight (intellect) of the world around them...the aspie wil die."

...it explain's how I feel exactly...basicly, it relates to...

When one 'loses their mind'. It can't happon to normal people as easly (i think), and I envy them...*sigh*

I think in genneral...intelect may be like a LIFE force for an aspie, and, if your TOO much like a 'boy' or a 'girl', what you are at the moment doesn't count much by the way, I mean overall all as your growing up... Well doesn't that eventually cause your brain to start to decay, or, are there acceptions? What 'gender role' does intelect take, anyways...*sigh* I don't even think it HAS one, it just more easly grow's in a gender BALLANCED brain...or something...i'm no expert....

I hope to study mental psycolagy someday now a little...that is, if i'm still ALIVE in years to come, and, not dead of brain decay...*SIGH*...

hello kitty has no mouth.

22 year old male. Can't resist cuteness. I feed on it. It's one of the few things that make me happy. I obsess over it. Embarrassing, I know.

Fasanating...hmmmn...

I wish there were other GIRLS that were like me here...but at least your an OLDER person non the less who feel's in simular ways...hmmmmn.....

I know that I have other questions to ask, though i have to get off soon...exspect another topic from me soon.

(trust me...my childhood haunts me a lot. enouth said...but at least i dont remember very much, which is a good thing....)

Haha, Qi, I think that is adorable!
I guess I find your love of cuteness, cute!

Anything small round soft and squeezable looking is cute. Puppies, kittens, babies, baby bears (but watch out for mama!), baby horses even, though not so much. They bring out my maternal instinct. Big eyes help too.

I'm small, round, soft - but don't squeeze! So I guess I'm terminally cute since I'm not getting any taller at my age! I've had women call me "little one". I don't even like to think about how men react to it, other than they sure don't take my mind seriously.

I don't think whether you're girly or not has anything to do with autism, or intelligence, for that matter (there are a lot of stereotypes there, too). But I think liking cute things, and perhaps being cute yourself and being on the receiving end of it too, helps you to see the value in cute people/animals, and perhaps also to see beyond the cuteness to the entity within.

And I think seeing cute things as girly is mixing up two different categories. Women are smaller than men, and cute little kids are smaller still. But just because the kids are cute as a category (and the puppies, kittens, etc.), doesn't mean the women are. Although it may be girly to like cute things . . .

HA! fantastic. you sound interesting.
i can relate.

Haha, thanks millie. At least 'interesting' is better than psychotic!!

As I stated earlier, I'm a guy that likes cute things (although I hide that because most people would find that weird). I hate it when people refer to me or something about me as cute, for example, when I tell my sister that I find so and so attractive, and she finds it cute that I am interested in someone. It is not cute, and I am not cute either. My 5 yold brother is cute, a bit mischievous, but still cute. St. Bernards are cute, for a bigger dog, and they just make me want to come over and play with them, An attitude a grown male has about another person is not cute, maybe some other word, but not cute. Lassie is cute. Chibi characters drawn for certain types of advertising with certain styles are cute. Bunnies are cute, not hares though. Grown men and their actions are not cute, and I don't want to be looked at as cute, yet my 18 yold step sister seems to find it hard to hold inside her the comments that I or something about me is cute. Why?!?

oh no. psychotic is good. my second job is coming to WP and shaking up the well worn assumption that we are all geeks.
i suspect there are many of us who are very weird and whilst not psychotic - view the world in highly individualised ways. this is how i am.
i actually would prefer to see more posts like your's - rather than the incessant doom and gloom.
for frigging sake, - we are highly, highly interesting people - some of us.....the more bent the better and the more open communication of that, the better.

stay true to your psychotic tendencies mith, and you will grow into a fine and interesting old AS woman who will have an amazing life to look back on.... i say that with a great deal of sincerity.
