Are you creepy/weird?

[Jordan~]

You have a friend that's a girl?
Must be gay.

I'm gay and she always has a boyfriend

:P

Though she prefers the company of males and so do I. All our other (mutual) friends are male. Our little group is two gay guys, three straight guys and a girl.

 

[Kellhus]

Apparently I am charming, eclectic, and intimidating. These are the adjectives most often expressed to me. No one thinks more than one though, and each beleive me to hold only that singular trait in which they express. Perhaps I display myself distinctly differently depending upon the individual?

 

[ZombieAtomico]

Guess.

 

[xbox]

Oh I like you.

 

[A22]

Not on the outside

 

[Peeps999]

I don't think I'm creepy, but all of my friends say I am, so I guess that means yes. I am incredibly weird though.

[Litawyn]

I've never really thought about it before, but it triggered a memory that made me stop and think.

A number of years ago I was at a small dinner party in the town where I live, hosted by a couple of summer folks whom I didn't know very well. I knew everyone else however on a casual level. There were 8 of us altogether. The woman sitting next to me (a local schoolteacher) mentioned that she has always "seen people as colors," much like folks with synesthesia. Naturally, she was asked to go around the table and tell everyone what color she perceived them to be. One person was yellow, one orange, another silver, a couple of blues, a red . . . then she got to me. She said I was brown. I thought BROWN? What a dull, dingy, lifeless color. I am SO not brown.

After dinner I took her aside and asked her about it. She seemed a little uncomfortable when confronted and said "Well, I don't really see you as brown; I actually see you as BLACK, but I didn't want to offend you." I was actually rather flattered to be seen as black. To me it connotes darkness, mystery and intensity. In hindsight though, I can see how black could just as easily be perceived by some as creepy or weird.

You were born wrong? Were you born breeched? because if not
it's probably just your vicodin.

Everyone is creepy/weird in some way sometimes. I am creepy/weird. At least my employer thought so. I had always had to hold my breath and hope I wouldn't be fired. (I had no place to go.) Fortunately I held out long enough to be retired relatively safely.

We are creepy/weird when we don't fit. If we don't fit, this invites rejection. No one likes rejection ... unless they are half-way out the door and for some reason don't know how to find the exit. I say try to find a place where you fit in. Keep trying. There is such a place because there are plenty of creepy/weirdos like you and me.

 

[Panopticon]

Creepy: Not yet. I do see a huge potential for this with age though. Once I lose touch with interacting with people in a "cool" way it's over for me.

Weird: Definitely. Usually S types and F types call me weird when I'm not even trying, maybe it's the awkward way I try to adjust to them. My first thought when people tell me that is "Really, you havent seen a damn thing yet. Have a seat bud."

 

[ummidk]

I feel more socially awkward than creepy, although most people who aren't gibbering morons think I'm funny (in real life). It's weird, really - I can entertain small-ish groups of people, talk very well with people I know, but, stick me with a stranger and I'm completely clueless. Obvious introversion and shyness, I know, but it still pisses me off to no end.

Especially when I get into one of those mellow moods where I'm so offbeat that every social encounter I have is a poor one, in my eyes. Makes me think that I'll be lucky to ever have a girlfriend, let alone a long-term relationship or the like. Assuming I can find people who are interesting and who don't mind screwed-up guys like me.

Seems to be pretty common on these forums, so I'll venture a guess that this is relatively normal for INTPs.



I'd have to agree with Yeti, in that I find it much more likely that many people are sincere jackasses. Lack of conformity correlates to independent thinking (no shit, Sherlock), and independent thinking pulls away at the fabric of hierarchical structures, upon which our societies are based. It's threatening, in a way. Especially to kids, many of whom are either incapable or unwilling to talk about anything except fashion, alcohol, and sex.

I'd say more, but I think Trebuchet hit the nail(s) on the head.

Nope, you did, for me at least.

 

[Awaken]

Creepy? No. My friends would use the word "cold". Ive also been told I have the smuggest laugh.(you know who you are )

It's not the vicodin. The vicodin just lowered my inhibitions enough to make me say what I said. Fortunately I didn't go into any more detail.

Hey bird. AI is not too fond of saying anything personal about himself that I recall. I have no idea why. Did he set some rule?

[Agent Intellect]

Late response, but I do have a difficult time talking about myself. Don't be too offended (or perhaps relieved), I have a tendency to stonewall my family, too.

 

[Smithers10030]

I am quite similar to Mary with the 'sneaking up on people thing' and my cousin once complained that i should stop going 'Ninja' whenever she was around. Also, i don't refer to myself as 'creepy' but rather as 'free'. i like the feeling of being unique and independent of the title bestowed on most as 'Normal'. INTP's FTW!:smiley_emoticons_mr

Aftter reading through the entire thread, Its scary how much similar we are.

INTPs have a special ability to see right through certain types of people, such as insincere people, phonies, fakers, braggarts, and sleazy lying salesmen. And they know it. That's why they think we're "creepy."

Don't feel bad about it. Celebrate it!

How true is that. I know that I could totally sense it, and the best part is that they know we won't be falling for their bs. Hence the "intimidating" and "cold" comments.

Everyone thinks I'm weird.

And I've been told by several people that they can imagine me snapping one day and killing everyone.

I think I already mentioned it earlier in the thread, but someone once told me that people like me shoot down schools.

I stalked a lot of crushes and had difficulty approaching them.
Sometimes it creeps me out how did I know so much without them saying anything to me.

I don't really have crushes at the moment. But when someone intrigues me enough, I guess I stalk them, and some how know everything about them without them ever saying anything to me. :/

On creepiness: I am apparently very creepy, but in a good way. I'm not exactly sure how that works, but I'm very good at sneaking up on people, hiding behind doors and jumping out, or mimicking those creepy people in horror film. People apparently tend to enjoy my creepiness.

I've unintentionally scared my family members so many times. About 10 times in the past week. Apparently, I walk so quietly when people are in the same room, they can never hear me coming. I startle them and theyre always like "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM??! I THOUGHT YOU WERE OVER THERE". My brother told me the other day that "You don't walk, you hover above the ground." or "you walk like a ninja".

On weirdness: I revel in my weirdness. I enjoy not acting normal. People apparently like this too, except for people who are obsessed with instituting normal.

Because of this, I act more introverted (Ti) around the people that "institute" normal, and am more talkative (Ne) around people that enjoy weirdness. Usually has to do with me saying random things. It takes A LOT to get me to open up "out of my shell" as many extroverts have put it. It's funny how different I am around certain receptive/unreceptive types.

Yeah, that's so stupid. I hate how everybody has to be afraid as to not give 'TOO MUCH INFORMATION AMAGAD'. Sexual topics occur in our daily lives, what the hell. Most people watch porn regularly and still everybody has to keep it on the down-low and politicians even get fired when it comes out they rented a porn movie or so.

Might be a guy thing, but sexual topics have never really interested me. More men, regardless of type, enjoy talking about it. I just find it repulsive though. Only time I would talk about it would be with a partner, but all boys have cooties, so that may be a problem.

 

[Roran]

My steps are insanely quiet, and even with my 280 pound, 6'4" ass, I am still stealthy somehow.
While I am walking by people in the hall, they often (~2 times weekly) say something like (Whoa, I didn't see you there). Family members often react like this, too.

Being normal is something I don't want to be. "Normal" around these parts is basically the antithesis of my whole personality. Perhaps this is on purpose. Evidence for it being on purpose is that I do not wear popular clothing brands( Hollister, Aeropostle, Billabong, Ed Hardy) but instead wear what I think is comfortable, with but a few concessions to style. Most people like pop and rap. I listen to metal, alt rock, remixes of video game music, and some techno. Most people are talkative and are usually not very good at schoolwork. I am usually quiet and have decent grades (low A's usually). People around here don't seem to think a lot and ask older people (teachers) what their opinions should be. I have opinions that I have formulated after hours of thought that I will not abandon because someone doesn't agree with them. People around here are questioning, probing, often asking questions about me I would rather not answer as my answers are different than that of the majority here. I rarely ask questions about people's beliefs. In short, I am what other people are not. A side effect of this is that it is hard to develop close relationships with people (or maybe it's the other way around?).SUDDEN PARAGRAPH ENDING

 

[Akuma]

I've had a number of comments about being weird but none about being creepy.
Back in high school it seems I was quite the loner but instead of being creepy I was just an "emo" instead.

I think the reasons I haven't called creepy is a combination of not sharing much about my interest in the horror genre, the type of people I'm surrounded by and the differences in perception of loners when it comes to gender.

I have come across someone who I found creepy.
It was his interest in guns and gore combined with his bitterness, sexism and arrogance towards everyone he knows.
The main reason why I considered him creepy was due to his crush on me(far too much unwanted attention) and after rejecting him, he hated me as much as every other "selfish bitch" who didn't reciprocate his feelings.

People can be socially awkward, have odd interests and not be creepy.
It all depends on whether that person is bitter.

(Sorry for the long post,)

 

[Dr. Freeman]

Apparently not giving a damn about the norm makes you 'creepy'. Because anything that's unusual is scary I guess?

The thing is, that when I first came to this school I could get along with everybody alrightish, I wasn't regarded as creepy or anything. A few girls even liked me, but I just thought they were kidding or something. I kind of started getting annoyed by the similarity of everybody. Same clothes, same opinions, same tastes in music and television... I just started expressing my tastes for science-fiction, psychedelic music, surreal art, stuff like that. Unlike most others I am left-wing, they are right-wing.
I don't get how this makes me 'creepy' though. Weird, alright. That's close-minded as fuck, but I can see where that's coming from.

By 'they' I mean about 50% of my school.

It's roughly the same thing with me, though I am just considered weird rather than creepy. Also, most of the students at my school tend to lean to the left while I am a staunch conservative.

 

[Ozymandias]

There was this one time when I was new in highschool and rocked a haircut very similar to Spike in the Buffy series. Got a good deal of odd looks. I remember my mother shouting ''What have you done?!'' when I got home from the hairdresser. Good times

Other then that I've fit in with practically any group I've been involved with.

 

[MsAnthropy_Indefatigably]

IDK if women can be creepy... at least not of my age group. lol
But I have ALWAYS been thought of as weird, since I was 5, maybe. (i think I told that story before).
I have also been called a jerk. And why not? I don't mind. If it's because, instead of telling you how awesome your hair looks, I tell you I didn't even notice you did anything to it, then that's your problem for needing such emotional support about the part of your being which exhibits no biochemical activity and is considered dead.

I don't know... People are just too emotionally needy! Make a decision without me for once!
Feel proud of yourself for accomplishing whatever goal you may have reached and stop waiting for someone to notice!

 

[kora]

I'm a freak with people I know well, but have developped a really cool outward persona that people are intimidated by, just by being very reserved, dressing very well (pin up lauren bacall style) and speaking my mind quietly and confidently on certain things in class, people are shocked to find out how I really am in private hahaha geeky, always saying really awkward things, like you i blurt out random stuff in my mind, but they are friends now so they are suck with me

 

[kora]

also I would hate to be normal.

 

[HDINTP]

Yes i am creepy/weird and i am proud of that.

 

[Philosophyking87]

I was recently told by a co-worker that I'm easily the weirdest person he knows.

Most of my acquaintances take me for a psychopath, and the few that know me well recognise that I am somewhat displaced and belong to another time...place...society...life?

All I know is, when people get too close I really wish I could bite them.

Yes, but perhaps the word abnormal would be more accurate - like an antisocial freak of some sort with whom no one can easily relate. I was once nominated at an "alternative lifestyles" forum for being the "weirdest" person. Only one other person was considered above me. Ironically enough, as well, people at that very same website used to call me a psychopath (as I'm not always mentally stable). Or perhaps my views are just so uncommon that I'm considered to be mentally unsound. Who knows...

And yeah, I always feel out of place, as if I'm ahead of my time, stuck in some horrible antiquated historical period, where things just aren't as progressed as I'd prefer. I once wrote that I don't belong to this world, this time, these people -- that I'm of some other time and place. This usually leads to feelings of isolation and loneliness. And I definitely wish I could lash out at people,as well; I just don't like most other humans.

For the most part, however, this doesn't seem to be too rare. INTJs also tend to feel this way (and perhaps more so than us). They have introverted intuition, such that their intellectual visions are often difficult to grasp and so out of place and unbound by time that they often feel like complete aliens in this world.

Given the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was likely an INTJ, it's interesting to note that in the documentary, "Nietzsche - Human, All Too Human," the following is said:

"But now living virtually in total isolation, he had all but sacrificed human contact for the world of his own imagination. Philosophy had become his consolation for a life of disappointment and deep-rooted loneliness."

A quote of Nietzsche's is then read:

"My principle article of faith is that one can only flourish around people who share the identical ideas and identical will. I have no one. That is my sickness."

 

[Grove]

I was once told by a friend that I'm the most normal non-normal person she knows. Take that as you will. Something I get a lot is that I'm nicer than my first impression were to imply, but that may have more to do with power relationships (perceived or real), than with me. Then again, maybe I just come off as a stern asshole on the first go around.

I’ve been called (to name a few) weird, detached, smartass, charming, brilliant, and stupid, but not creepy…yet. I’m not likely to claim any of those descriptions as truth, as I see them as having more to do with the person saying it than me.

 

[Quantum]

Not so much creepy, though I have been before. Mostly weird, cold, and eccentric. Sometimes I feel like I'm sitting outside of my brain, looking in, wondering why I'm acting so weird.
