I am so happy for the one who knocked that chump out, fists will settle disputes when necessary. Pacifists tend to forget that the majority of political or other disputes in known history have been settled SUCCESSFULLY by violence. It's not pretty, but at times it is simply a must.
I've only been called a sociopath and a rude jerk, never anything much worse. Usually by girls who thought they'd been "reading" me correctly and then discovered they didn't really know me at all. Sometimes girls I date seem to think I'm putting on a show for them, in class for example, and then they're suprised like, "Wait a minute, he's always like this, it wasn't just to impress me?"...

heh, well thankx, at the time it seemed appropriate, but years down the line, i wish i had not, i really would have wished i never freaked out on him that day causing him to hit me, i could not take the abuse anymore, i wanted to make him feel like i did in front of his friends, (he only teased me in front of them)

He was my childhood friend, after this they never spoke to me again... not that they ever were true friends, but... in a way... loosing the longest relationships in my life hurt me so badly in high school.

Perhapse it was fate, perhapse for the best. It sux when u gotta think on your feet suddenly, not have time to formulate a better response.

I guess WW2 had to be won with violence, i wish other altercations could be settled differently if possible.

My ex was on the phone with me one day wasting my daytime minutes and I got so angry at him I basically started yelling at him while walking down the street (thankfully it was an empty suburban block in midafternoon)

He kept saying "you're not artistic(a**hole can't pronounce it right), you're mental" Because also when I've argued with him in person I start shaking if I have to repeat my point over again if it doesn't get heard the first ten times. Then I will either get up and walk out or begin screaming.

:x

NT's do this to each other ALL the time,especially guys.They do it as a bizzare form of bonding and it's actually meant to say..."I except you,you nut".I know that this defies logic but I have observed it repeatedly.When some people ingage in this they are meaning to be little or insult you but they can also mean it as..."you are my friend and I feel safe saying this to you".

So,you can decide to be offended but you can also laugh along with them at some of the nutty things you do/say and recepricate with similiar comments when they are acting..."odd",because NT's can act pretty nutty themselves. :wink:


wait a minute! you are telling me that all along these people were being KIND to me? That all that eye rolling and head nodding and muttering of 'stupid freak' was a reaching out for friendship?

wow. what an idiot I am.

Kids my age usually didn't want to hang out with me, so I ended up being with the younger kids. I liked them better anyway. I always felt like the parents of the neighborhood kids tried to keep their kids away from me. My mom and brother said I acted extremely bratty and spoiled as a child, but my sister says I was normal. At any rate, I was usually lonely and played by myself a lot of the time.

In junior high I remember having to walk to and from school everyday which was almost one mile. I hated walking alone, as I got a bit scared. I tried to walk with two girls that lived a block away from me but they always tried to ditch me and if I caught up with them they'd try to walk fast ahead of me so I'd give up and not walk with them.

Aside from counselors diagnosing me with various things, I've had people say "Are you on drugs?", "You're weird!", "You're so flighty!", "This guy I know works with you and he says you're soooo stupid.", "You're very eccentric", "You're odd", "You're unique", "You're strange", "You march to beat of a different drummer", "You daydream too much", and I even had a high school teacher call my parents and tell them that she thought that I was on drugs because her brother used to be on drugs and he acted the same way I did.

And of course, as I explained in another post, my 2nd grade teacher said about me "Odd combination of little girl and little old lady."

I just remembered something. My ex husband and I went to family counseling with his kids and my kids a couple of times. He continued seeing that counselor after we broke up and got a divorce. He told me that he told her that I had been diagnosed as having bipolar disorder (which was true) and she said "I could tell there was SOMETHING wrong with her." Man, that hurt. I thought I acted totally normal in her office. Maybe it was my staring... I can't seem to stop it.

Most people in school just thought I was drugged out and or drank alot. You wouldn't believe how many people asked me a day "ya smoke?". I looked the part I guess. Either that or they thought I needed to get more sleep. Never anything about being "crazy" from anyone that didn't know me fro, outside school.

Was that sarcasm? I can use sarcasm but can't detect it...

Psychiatrists in England seem to be obsessed with diagnosing psychiatric conditions instead of considering other reasons for the behaviours. It took years for me to find someone who DIDN'T accuse me of being crazy. I suppose we have all heard the 'should be locked up' thing once in our lives...

Does being called a ret*d count?

People questioned my sexuality when I was in junior high, but no one has accused me of having a mental disorder.
