What is a creep anyway?
And how do you not be one?
Augh... it just gets worse and worse...
EDIT: Yeah, I haven't been called a creep to my face either, but some people have made me feel like I must be one... it's just the worse feeling in the world. I mean, you think you're a nice guy, and people should like you, but no!
Wether people like you or not has nothing to do with being a good guy. Bad people have made me doubt myself many times when i was younger, this was solely because i had too much trust and respect for other people.
I really dont understand why so many people here are concerned about the aproval of people that treat them BADLY. Being treated bad says more about the perpetraitor then it does about the victim.
After years of conflict you slowly start to understand that disconnecting other people from your sense of self is in your best interest or you will end up like another sheeple. The only thing you can judge yourself on are your own actions. If you are nice to another person and he spits in your face then that has nothing to do with you, but still we ask ourselves questions like what did i do to make him react like that.
Having less empathy can be a major advantage because it allows us to shut out people who dont deserve to have an influence on our inner world and still be able to form a deep connection with people under the right circumstances.
In a way having aspie traits is like having a built in filter that triggers people to show their true nature. Its actually very usefull to see who cant resist taking a shot at the weaknesses THEY perceive you to have. And the people who value those traits.
It takes more courage to be kind then to be mean. Insecure people perceive kindness as weakness.
