People called me mean things!

[ProxyAmenRa]

They said I had high functioning autism. 0_O

 

[Agent Intellect]

That's not mean. Here's mean:

I mock your value system. Past instances in which I have expressed fondness for you have been fraudulent.

 

[snafupants]

That seemed more autistically-confused than mean per se.

 

[Czech Yes or No]

Who? Lemme at 'em. Hold me back, cuz! Hold me back!

 

[ProxyAmenRa]

Who? Lemme at 'em. Hold me back, cuz! Hold me back!

My friend's parents. She started them on a discussion about my "odd" personality. The relentless teasing began. :'(

You can do better than that.

Your friend's parents? That's just wrong. And illogical. And idiotic. And....and....and I could go forever.

 

[Meer]

Basically the truth.

I know! It makes no sense!

And that is a surprise to you?

Of course not, nothing of the kind would disturb you in any way, or even make you twitch an eyebrow to mark a change from an otherwise robotic, emotionless expression - hence, autism. Sharing this here is clearly just for childish amusement, narcissism as it's agent.

Why do you even exist? You don't care. The only thing that perhaps presses on your buttons is the desire to mate, or pwn in debates, very much in the same fashion as in video games.

Is this mean? Nah, you wouldn't know anyway. At least not other than from a purely intellectual standpoint befuddled by various theories about rhetoric and things read in the "human relationships" forum.

[MissQuote]

I suspect this both delighted and disturbed you, for various reasons.

It is quite amusing when people attach silly labels like this to those they find different than themselves but irritating deep down in that place one does not show.

As with being fondly called eccentric by one who does not know you well enough to have the privilege of understanding what that might mean about you on a core level, the caller is disguising their inability to connect with you any deeper than in the shallow water with what they believe to be a compliment. They are pretending the laughter is with you rather than at your expense, due to some conflict of conscious found in their own faulty self where they try to mask their own deficits of character against you while failing to see they have just put up a bigger wall than the one you ever had between yourself and them.

I loath all these humans that fancy themselves clever with their false assumptions and complacent understandings. Never seeking the mysteries in depth one will find when they open their eyes to another but always using facetious joviality they think goes above the heads of those they categorize to comfort their own emptiness.

 

[kantor1003]

MissQuote, I will label you with the classic "a hopeless romantic" (transformed confronting harsh reality) and from now on it will work as a filter with which to color every single output from you this day on (explicitly stating it, as now, makes it manifest). Do you mind? If you do, care to find another (perhaps more suiting) label, or preferably several with which to nuance my perception a little?
When I think about it, you could tell me to "sod off". I'm sure that would force me to find some other archetypal figure (results of years interacting, or observing rather, people) by which to put you in. If you do, however, make sure that I don't get the impression that you are acting it out. Say it like you mean it

 

[MissQuote]

*Puts Kantor in a head lock and gives him a noogie*

 

[MissQuote]

Unfortunately, I am indeed a hopeless fucking romantic. Emphasis on the hopeless, some days, others, rather hopeful.

 

[kantor1003]

I guess it takes one to spot one Or perhaps we all are?

Nah! it's just a damn label, isn't that right, Miss?

You have your hopeful days? That's odd. I think I've had one or two such days myself actually, if I exclude response from various books and movies.

 

[EditorOne]

So Proxy: What was your response when so described?

 

[crippli]

Ah, daughter/parents relationship. It's fairly complicated.

Did your friend overhear the verbal exchange?

If I where you, I'd worry more about the future relationship to your friend, then a potential high functioning autism.

It seems like you screwed up on the good impression part. So now I am curious, what's your next move?

 

[ProxyAmenRa]

Turn bright red with embarrassment.

I don't know how I could not leave people with a good impression. Well, unless I decide to leave them with a bad impression.

Generally, the people I have encountered who don't like me are not particularly people I want to interact with.

What? Books and film don't count?

Excuse me, I must go reassess my entire life now.

[EditorOne]

I'd joke that we ought to have a standard response "But you missed the incipient psychopath part" whenever one of us gets an asshat instant analysis of antisocial behavior, high-functioning autism, terminal arrogance, whatever.

But whoever heard a full-mode, full-blown INTP say that would probably take it seriously.

So maybe not.

Turning red is not a bad way to go.

 

[crippli]

Standard response would be nice. I was on a trip to France last week with 4 friends. They slept together communist style, I slept in a tent in the forest, I always do. And one day in the morning one of them said that I was psychologically development impaired. Another said something that sounded like a nickname for asberger. The first one jumped on this and exclaimed autism. The second smoothed it over and said it was another name, the name for their psychological clinic. Then the second said I shouldn't let the first one get away with this, and that I should retaliate. I didn't, as I wasn't sure what would be the proper response. Another common one is that Oh goodness, now crippli has finally tipped over the edge. I also don't reply to that, because I'm not sure what to reply. It seems to be some sort of unarming the situation. So I guess I just let them do it, most often. To go further seems prone with peril..

 

[BigApplePi]

Yes very high functioning. Gimme more. How's your autism? As high as mine?

How mean of you. What do you mean?

 

[Mello]

My sister's friend thought I was autistic too, but I just wanted to stack the boxes neatly. They were crooked. He looked at me funny, but I just wanted to stack the boxes. Afterwards, I played with my train set for three hours. The GE C44-9W is a 4,400 hp diesel locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania. It is a train.

Then, my mom took my train set away from me. I cried. She tried to pick me up. I do not like being touched. Touching is gross.

Telling that to yourself, irrespective of its applicability, seems like an excellent strategy for keeping your dignity intact. Imagine the converse - would you concede that you didn't live up to the expectations of some super awesome, extremely intelligent person? Would such an admission perhaps wound your vanity? I wonder at which point you come to the conclusion that these nebulous folk are unbefitting to Proxy.

 

[MissQuote]

I was asking you! That is what you said.

This is giving me the shakes. You need to clear this up and stop confusing me so!

I see, and how did that make you feel?

Ohh, my ego is inflated to the size of planet. I guess it would take a few billion people all dumping on me to pop it.

[ProxyAmenRa]

Embarrassed.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Embarrassed.

Ok well that's all I know about practical psychology.

Anyway some things to consider
o Why would they say such a thing?
o Was it uncalled for?
o What intentions did they have, even if you were determined to be such?
o Did they consider you just a thing to talk about(gossip), and not include you in the conversation?
o Are you okay with such gossip? Do you think they should know this?

 

[ProxyAmenRa]

o Why would they say such a thing?

Fun.

o Was it uncalled for?

They did once call me an eccentric Mr Darcy. o_O

o What intentions did they have, even if you were determined to be such?

The intention to be amused.

o Did they consider you just a thing to talk about(gossip), and not include you in the conversation?

Teasing in Australia is an act of endearment.

o Are you okay with such gossip? Do you think they should know this?

I am fine with such things as long as I don't have to be involved.

 

[ach003]

next time look them dead in the eye and tel them its true. That you are autistic. Then let a single tear roll down your face. They will feel forever too guilty to make fun of you again.


Or you could just not spend time with people like that. I think you should be able to figure this one out just fine.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Fun.

I looked that up and I'm guessing you mean from Pride and Prejudice, and not Married... With Children. Never read the book, though.

Teasing in Australia is an act of endearment.

Ok

You sure? You sure you're sure? That you're discontent wouldn't surface one day?

Then let a single tear roll down your face.

One female classmate who I sat next to and talked to frequently asked me if I would miss her when school was over. I said yea "there'll be one tear sliding down my face" and made the motion, it was pretty funny. We were good friends though, it's a shame I didn't realize it at the time, but I did kinda mean I'd miss her I was just too embarrassed to say it.

Though over-dramatization is usually funny.

Ok

When working in a blue collar environment, when people don't insult you, you know they really don't like you.

 

[The Gopher]

"an eccentric Mr Darcy" You aren't dating my sister by any chance?

Did she go to a cocktail bar 2 weeks ago?

Probably lol, however you live in a way different area to her.

I rented a hotel room for the night because there was no way for me to get back to where I lived while totally wasted. I the woman I was with lives in Mt Gravatt.

It was one bloody expensive night. I must have spent around $600. Didn't help that the hotel room was $150.

 

[BigApplePi]

Next time I have a guest room where you & company can sack out for free. Air fare not included ...

 

[EyeSeeCold]

How do you figure?

Rather than a 1984-esque meaning that 'insult equals like', I take it you mean that social inclusion into a pastime such as teasing means you're valued, for those unincluded are overlooked and are not considered very much important.

Depending on the quality on the insult and teasing though I think it should be questioned what being valued really means.

As a contrast, I don't insult those I like.

Yes that is a good interpretation.

You can even swear your head off at the boss and not get fired. It's brilliant.

Ohh yeah. Can get a bit confusing. If they really don't like you, things can be very nasty and confusing.

As a contrast, I don't insult those I like.

I think that is a decent standard, I suppose.
