Has anybody ever been worshipped?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a weird problem, sometimes people either tell me I am a great inspiration to them, or that I am the most interesting or cool person I have ever met. I am not sure if they are being sarcastic or not, but it happens a lot. Sometimes complete strangers will say 'Hello,' to me and they will say that I am a very cool person and that they like me. I don't know how to make left or right of this phenomena. The other day an acquaintance of mine walked into me and said, "You are the greatest person I have ever known." and later that day he bowed down to me when I entered the classroom. People also constantly tell me that I am an extremely nice person. I don't understand why this happens, because I almost never talk, and I just go home after school and during lunch everyday, I don't see why I am so cool to people. Maybe they are being sarcastic?

I was, back in high school. I am kinda worshipped here on WP.

I used to worship myself as a god

I tell people don't worship the ground I walk on until I've earned it...and that means until one knows me better.

I wasn't "worshipped" per se, but I did have a fan club...

Most of the time I could ward them off by saying "If I'm the greatest person alive, why am I the only guy in this school who doesn't have a girlfriend?"

A few days ago I walked in to the main room of the dorm and there was a group of people hanging around in there, some of them my acquaintances. They noticed me and one of them said "oh, there's GoatOnFire, he's awesome." It was very random, and I suspect that they just wanted to see how I reacted. I was confused.

When I was young (mostly during middle school) people kept referring to me as "perfect". It always irritated me as I couldn't logically see how the people who would always call me perfect seemed to think I was perfect. I always hated the "nice" compliments as well. I think it's a basic part of being human to be nice. It is not anything to get all excited about. Now I am just labeled as shy because I am out of practice when it concerns my social skills. I am generally skeptical when people make any sort of weird gestures towards me; than again I am an intensly paranoid person.

I can safely say that this has never been a problem for me. I've had a few girls gush about me during the early stages of dating, but that's pretty typical for anyone. Being called perfect isn't a great place to be, because it instantly puts you in a position where the only other direction to go is down. It also makes you wonder what the other person is thinking, because you know you're not perfect. No one is. Though flattering, someone who tells you you're perfect (and means it) is a bit removed from reality, or prone to exaggeration.

Yes, I have been worshipped. It was not in a school, but by self proclaimed submissives (and a few male dominants) in a bondage /domination /submission/ masochism/sadism lifestyle setting that was not just playing around. I was an esteemed member of the society and deserved their praise and admiration. (i.e. I worked my ass off practicing and perfecting my techniques and was damn good at it.)

I was not as satisfying as I had hoped, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted ( over eight years!)

This sounds very emo.

Yes, I have been worshipped. I hate to even think about it. It was from an alpha male who became a friend of mine because we shared the same interests. Most times he was a friend, other times a worshipper. Sometimes, he seemed to hang on my every word. Once, I walked out of a local dirt track race when I was standing behind him, because I was bored about the obvious result, and was tired. I was standing behind his car, waiting for him to come out. He appeared, running towards me with a look of alarm on his face, as if I was going to leave him. Hello? He was driving?

He then treated me to 1 and 1/2 hour of silence on the way home, and burned tires leaving the parking lot after I got out. I have since cut off ties with this person.

I am a heterosexual male, and so is he. I have struggled to understand this. It is very disturbing. Most times, we just could talk about almost anything, but these odd instances of what appear to be worship are baffling to me.

People either adore me or abhor me.
Been that way most of my life.

Worshiped?

Never.

Worshipped? I doubt it. I have (on very rare occassions) been highly esteemed or appreciated, mainly because of my difference to the norm and the sometimes exceptional talents that we Aspies can exhibit. It was flattering in some respects and scary in others. Usually the person with stars in their eyes for me had very serious emotional problems of their own.

So worshipped? Probably not. Ah, but feared? I have been feared by hundreds!
