A CLASSROOM MATE TOLD ME THAT I WAS A ROBOT

Post Reply New Topic

One of my classroom mate told me that I was like a robot because I use a formal words, my voice is low and I speak very quickly..I feel a little bit depressed about these.she said that she was joking me.have you ever experienced something like this?

When I was much younger. Yes. Not so much anymore. Acting is a life long survival skill for me that I've developed over time. I couldn't make a living at it though. It's not, and never will be, that developed.

My ex's both once described that hugging me felt like they were hugging a robot.

My entire advanced class in 4th/5th grade was known as "The Robot of Room 14". I was the blacksheep robot and hated amongst the other robots, many who were also Aspies and then a few neurotypicals.

I was told I sounded like robot once. I was working for a telephone survey firm. I laughed and said to the person on the other line that I must indeed sound like one and that the repetitive nature of survey taking tended to drain one's personality

As for your classmate or anyone else who says you are like a robot - you can make a joke and reply, "Yeah, but a DAMN sexy robot at that!!" or "Actually, I'm Vulcan, but Spock and Data always did share some traits" or "..........Oh, I'm sorry, I had to reset my internal chronometer, did you say that I was a robot?" or "speaking of robots - did you ever see that sci fi classic "Westworld" where all those sexy robots kills all the tourists at a robot amusement park - those were some bad assed robots - and I'm just like them. Yeah!!"

My mother frequently tells me that I am a robot. It doesn't actually bother me though. I tell her that she is histrionic, like Mrs. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice.

Is being called a sex machine being called a robot?

Yep, all the time. Eventually you'll leave school and move on into the real world.

I would feel honored to be called a robot. I have a soft spot for robots

Yes.

I wish I had been called a Robot. People just call me a quiet person which I find 1000000000000000000000000000000000 more annoying.

I don't remember being called a robot but I remember a kid in grade school telling some adult at the school that didn't know me that I was a "visitor". They asked "where from?" They didn't get it at all.

The kid meant I was an alien referring to the 1983 show "V" in which the aliens that came here were called "visitors".

My mom says I used to have such a monotone voice, I sounded like a robot from a 50's B movie. If someone told me I was a robot now, I'd be giving them a kunckle sandwhich and telling them to go procreate with themselves.

Surprisingly, no. When I was younger (teens) I was very monotone, but OTOH I didn't talk very much. In 7th grade I once had to read aloud to the class, and when I was done someone said, "...and that's the way it was" in a Walter Kronkite voice (old newscaster with a low, somewhat old-timey way of speaking) and then the class cracked up. I guess that could be interpreted as a compliment.

Maybe next time someone says that you sound like a robot you can say, "aff-ir-ma-tive (silly human)" back as a joke. (might have to work on comedic timing, though; it took me a little while to figure that out when I was a teen)

mmhmm. i got told i was like a dead person as well.
