That's what the majority of the teen population thinks of me...
I'm now at a completely new school and I have no idea what they think of me. Hopefully it's something 10x better than this nonsense. I still have a feeling that I'm going to get a crap reputation at school this September (it's a very long story)

Enigma, same exact thing here. I only wish I were allowed to switch schools!

Hmmm what people think of me:

Brainy (I hate that word, it makes the person saying it sound stupid :p)
Eccentric genius (Eccentric yes...)
Weird/odd/strange
Cute (ack!)
Innocent (don't know where they get that from )
Party pooper (because I never want to go out to nightclubs)
Awkward
****tease (because I don't cooperate when men make advances )
I'm also misinterpreted as flirting because I'm always awkward.
Socially immature
Deaf (only slightly)
Sociopath/robot


Some things I got when I was younger:
"You shouldn't expect much from her" (teacher to mother)
"You should expect great things from her" (different teacher to mother)
"Where are you from? <i>Mars</i>?" (it didn't help that I interpreted this as a serious question and when "No, why would I be from Mars?)
ret*d (I'm not)
Anorexic (I'm not)
Lesbian (I'm not)
Hermaphrodite (I'm not) Aaah High School.

Flamboyant
Rebellious (when I was in college, the deans probably knew me as "that big mouth Bohemian rebel")
Bohemian (this is what I call myself culturally and artistically)
Hyper (when I was little)
ret*d (when I was in junior high and once or twice in high school---some kid called me this while I was in high school, two of my guy friends found out and the kid who teased me was in BIG TROUBLE with them--the fellow never teased me again.)
Funny
Exciting
Bothersome
Loud
Creative
Colorful
Intelligent
"The girl who reads all the time" (when I was in school)
Weird

I could be described by the following:

- random
- easily distracted
- obsessive
- rude
- intelligent
- loud
-talkative
among others.

In elementary school I was tested and officially labeled as "gifted" and "nervous." I was skipped a grade and was medicated for tics. As my school years progressed, I was the weird one, the smart one, grease-pit (for not washing my hair often enough), artistic, creative, the last one chosen for teams in gym class, teacher's pet, Mr. Spock, brain, lesbian (not!), holy-roller (for having solid morals), Lego girl, and loner.

Now I am college educated, married 22 years, mother of 5, homeschooling our youngest 3, no longer tic, wash my hair every day, soccer mom, ice skating mom, scout mom -- and still have no friends. Lots of "acquaintences" -- but no real friends. Am I still that outwardly weird that the rest of the world prefers not to invite me for coffee? Or maybe it's because I'm normal and the rest of the world is so incredibly, boringly weird...

Hmmm.... let me think.
Esoteric (english teacher)
Stubborn (just about everyone)
Mad (only friends dare - the others just back off)
Scruffy and furry (boyfriend)
Think too much (anyone I'm arguing with)
Creative (anyone who doesn't think the way I do)
Grotty (parents)
Excitable (co-workers)
Tempermental (parents)
Hysterical (a select few, very close people)
Anti-social (everyone)
Smart ass (anyone I argue with)
Easy to con (anyone who asks me for money of favours)
Generous (anyone I give money or favours to without them asking)
Schizophrenic (old flat mate)
Nuts (boyfriend)
Badly dressed (boyfriend)
Cranky (son)
Pedantic (co-workers)
Chaotic (boyfriend)
Obsessive (anyone/anything who isn't the focus of my attention at that time)

that'll do for now - I'm sure others will pop into my head!

I don't know. They all think I'm weird, but other than that....I can't put a finger on it. I do know that they always seem dissatisfied with me, no matter what I do, and there seems to be a consensus that I am lazy or could apply myself more in...what? Hell, I don't know.

See, the people who know me well always come to the conclusion that I'm intelligent but 'don't try hard enough' and I was baffled...I have no idea what they mean. Just coping with everyday life consumes all the energy and resources I have. The only thing I did figure out is that they're insatiable and impossible to please.

Various things i've been called:

Thinks too much (some girl who was trying to pick me up)
Crush Obcessed (this guy I had a crush on)
Computer geek (all of comp sci class)
Good Programmer (all of comp sci and I'm not)
Stupid
Intelligent
Gullable
Depressed (former flatmate, i'm not)
Party girl
Party Pooper
Moody
Cold (this crazy girl with a crush on me, she was stalking me for goodness sake come on.)
Seven (people from high school)
Girlguy (stupid kids from high school, I don't depress feminely enough for the NTs apparently)
Transperant as glass (same guy as before)
Natural Teacher
Opinionated
Intimidating to guys (various guys who would have made moves on me but were too gutless)
Easy (as in easy to pick up, some gay guy and i'm not)
Dyke (i'm not, kids on the bus)
Stoner (enough people to lose count, i'm not)

I'm also known around town as a Real-Life Austin Powers

I've been called a lot of things before--a few of them good.

Geek
Nerd
Dork
Loner
Shy
Reserved
Weird
Odd sense of humor

Ditto.

Also, from my childhood:

Father: 'What the hell do you like?' (Normal people's speech should come with subtitles - I've seen that done before on TV and it's hilarious. Of course that really meant 'I know what you like - I just don't like you'.

Answer: (Whatever my special interest at the moment was.)

Reply: 'I don't want to talk about that!'
