Is having an invisble shield an aspie trait?

Post Reply New Topic

I always use to have this invisble psycological shield. I could understand social cues but block them out and not have them affect me unless i wanted them to. gave me this great understanding of social stuff and let me maninpulate nts around me. it was something i could almost see, kept everone else out and me in. though it would occasionally open up and i would latch on to someone and form this tight bond.

I created my "invisible shield"--which I always visualized as a sphere of blue energy--while going through some tough times, being bullied by my stepdad. I would tell myself that nothing could get through the shield and affect me, that I was perfectly alone and safe inside it.

ah to walk threw a room and not be noticed........and some times wish you would be.

Beeen there, dooone that...

No. I have always felt that I lacked a shield. I feel more exposed and vulnerable that other (NT) people seem to feel. I feel that people can reach into me with their eyes and violate me.

I surround myself with an invisible Shield, every time that I walk into town. It's a metellic blue one, and it protects me from the abuse that the younger people hurl at me, due to my weight and clothes.

I do it.

my own mom, not to mention the occasional friend, has walked right past me, looked at me, and not had it register that it's me.
Didn't do anything to my self-esteem, thankfully.

I guess I've always had some kind of shield I subconciously put up around people. Only thing is that it oftentimes has the opposite affect on crazy weirdos out on the street.

To people who are "normal", it's like I'm invisible when I'm out. But the pervert or mentally ill homeless person babbling to himself about aliens is attracted to me like a magnet. I swear if there are 40 other women around, they will single me out as the one they mess with.

The shield these days, for me, is becoming emotionless, or at least supressing emotion as best as I can.
