Do NTs creep you out?

Post Reply New Topic

There's plenty of posts on here about people with autism being seen as creepy. Well I'd like to know if the reverse is true. Do you find NTs creepy?

I'm sure I creep people out and the feeling is very very mutual. For example, I know I'm seen as weird for having a "monotone" voice but I think people are weird for the constant fluctuations in pitch of their voice.

And don't get me started on the way they copy each other. Often I notice strangers mimic the way I'm sitting. I notice people mimicking everything I do really. I know it's a "social" thing to copy other people or something. It really gives me the creeps. I rather think for myself than copy whatever the person next to me is doing. Ironically that makes me the weirdo lol.

I am not creeped out by peoples behaviour in social ways but I am more disturbed by the fact they can't accept my behaviour to isolate.

There are creepy NT's. Others, though, are not creepy.

I sometimes find some of their dishonest behaviors - often labelled as, "social skills" - creepy. Or at the very least, unsettling. Also, many of their mating/courting rituals & methods either seem so highly blatant, or just highly manipulative. Either way, again unsettling in a way that makes them seem less trustworthy. And then there's the social maneuvering & manipulation, and the ever-shifting alliances...

So, yeah. I sometimes feel like someone from a different planet, and other times I think maybe I do feel a bit creeped out if I sit and watch those behaviors for too long.

I'm more or less creeped out on NTs that are too polite, too vigilante on 'reading' me, or out right unnatural especially when their expressions are exaggerated.

I never put my guard down on those who are too polite and much so of a pleaser.

Only some of them:
- If they stare with eyes very wide
- If they refuse to tell me why they are staring
- If they say things in a vague, unclear way ("beat around the bush") or drop mysterious hints, and then get annoyed that I don't get the point that they are implying
- If they say "trust me!" or "I'm telling the truth"

Some of my best friends are NTs

What really creeps me out?

Mating/courting rituals , flirting looks so ridiculous and their expressions so cheap and exaggerated
Staring in my eyes or observing me really closely..
Standing behind my back , often seem they are too close
Their reactions seem sometimes really fake and it gives me chills

People confuse me. I would not know if they are NT or not. People just confuse me....

I find that most people confuse me. People are strange.

Generally I don't find people, NT or Autistic, creepy. Sometimes I find individuals who tell a lot of half-truths to suit their purposes and often tell out right lies, very difficult and a bit manipulative. I feel kind of sick when I'm around folk like that because I dont' know where I stand and that feels a bit creepy. But this doesn't seem to be true of any one group of people NT or autistic in my experience.

One thing that creeps me out : when they talk to me as if they're friends with me, and then I learn that they said horrible things behind my back and I learn that they actually hate me. If they hate me, why can't they tell me directly and be honest rather than tell gossips to make everyone hate me, what's wrong with being honest and direct ? All they've managed to do is making me paranoid with people.

Do black people creep me out? No.
Do gay people creep me out? No.
Do overweight people creep me out? No.
Do Down's Syndrome people creep me out? No.

The only people who creep me out are creepy/weird/psycho (unless proven harmless).

They alternate between being infuriating and fascinating very often, but not creepy. Mind you, I thought that I was just a very dysfunctional NT person until about a year ago, so I might see it differently than someone diagnosed much younger.
