People making you the odd person out for the fun of it???

Post Reply New Topic

Used to happen to me when we got together with family friends - they had two girls who were around my age, and the older one would hang out with my sister, while the younger one was a typical "tomboy" and played with my brother. So I was often the "odd man out", and while sometimes all five of us could get along, I was usually the one to get singled out when it came to teasing/being picked on.

For example, I see some Aspies excluding a friend of mine from their social groups, probably due to his communication and verbal skills. They aren't making him an enemy or a scapegoat or anything, the point is that Aspies participate in clique behaviour which excludes others too.

Yes, sometimes certain people would pick on me when I was in school because I didn't like showing my emotions and they knew that they could get away with it.

NT's can be really cruel. I'm sorry we're so bad. I'm the worst of them even when I'm TRYING to be good. Yea, i've gotten joy out of it before. In retrospect, after YEARS, I realize that me picking on other's on purpose and as an ACTIVE decision or CONSCIOUS decision is to validate my shortcomings. I also get impulsive and things just jump out while I do have shortcomings and I usually keep them in check.
