I got that marked on me since I was a little kid.

Maybe I am just like that, despite my autism.

Anyone else feel the same way about him/herself?

Some do
Some don't
I am these ways on an very individual basis.
I wish to almost completely if not totally eliminate this part of my behavior if possible. I feel like patience, understanding, and a healthy respect for nearly all people is a far more valuable attitude to own. To be able to relate, understand, be nice, and help people in general is my goal. I hope to not create anymore negativity than what is needed.

I've used so much time to eliminate those traits that I don't have them at all anymore. People may have thought that of me, if they misunderstood me. But I've always been very sensitive. And if you have Aspergers I believe you can think the same way as Pondering does, because this is after all logical ^^

Sometimes they do.
Sometimes they think I'm overly sensitive, clingy and naive.
But most of the time, I have no idea what people think of me or how they see me.

I think more arrogant than insensitive, though if I try not to be then people see me as weaker. I do find it interesting that different people see me differently, even though I rarely act differently to anyone.

Yeah, a lot of people see that in me because I find it hard to show my emotions in front of people.

I'm an indisputably sensitive person, but I often unintentionally come across as cold and rude. My parents told me the other day that I used to be the kindest person when I was a child. It bothers me that they said I used to, because it implies that I'm not that way anymore. I do know that I'm a lot more bitter and distrustful towards other people than I was as a child, and I have a bad habit of speaking whatever is on my mind regardless of whether it's socially acceptable or not. Sometimes when others become hurt by my words, I can't understand why they got hurt because I didn't think I was being rude.

Most people see me as warm and caring, actually. Yes, I do stick my foot in my mouth more often than I would like but most people who know me see the overall picture and know I mean no harm. I also go out of my way to try and be nice to people and help them where possible, so my social foibles are more easily forgiven.

I can be very harsh and cold, but not in general, it really depends on the situation and who just ticked me off xD

Many people do.

I have a very close knit circle of people that I interact with regularly. I've worked really hard to be caring and amiable towards them. I suspect that I still come off as strange and distant to them sometimes...

I think many strangers see me this way...

It depends on who I'm interacting with and how they've treated me in the past. If they aren't nice to me, I see no reason to be nice to them.

I'm also like that in general around strangers. My mom thinks I do it on purpose to piss people off. :roll:

I believe people see me as a rather cold but polite person
