A am beginning to hate NT teenage girls (My friends atleast)
I am seriously beginning to hate NT Teenage girls. Or at least my friends.
Because for the last couple of weeks, it seems that the only thing they have been able to talk about is either guys, or relationships, or who has a crush on who. Perticular where I am concerned. Perhaps I am just getting worked up over nothing, but I do not like people believing I have a crush on a guy simply because I talk to him and I acutally hanging out with him.
In the hell hole that is high school, he is the only person I've met who I acutally feel comfortable around. Generally, I feel uneasy talking to people, shy, anxious, that sort of thing. People scare me, because I can never tell what they are going to do. Half of them hate me and practically everybody knows that I have tendacies to 'Act like a ret*d' (I hate that sort, I find it very offensive).
Anyway, this guy is pretty strange by the standards around here, but to me he is normal. Its really hard to explain, but he just isn't like the rest of the idiots at school. For starters, he acutally has opinions on global issues, and for another he doesn't go in for the whole omg-movie-stars-and-dating-and-whatever-other-crap-they-think-about lark. I generally end up talking to him between classes and at sport.
But apparently, according to my friends, this means that I obviously like him. I don't understand why, but apparently it does.And they keep going on about it and teasing me about it and its getting to the point where I feel like hitting them over the head with that rail gun from MGS4, since it is nice and heavy so should result in a lovely concussion.
I just don't understand why everyone assumes that to talk to someone means that you have to have a romantic interest in them. Perhaps for some people it might, but not for me. I talk to him because for the first time in my life I acutally feel that I've met someone whom I feel on even turf with, and don't have to constantly double check that i'm not making an ass out of myself, if that makes sense.
Most of my friends are either 13 or 14, and I don't understand why they are so obbsessed about guys. For starters, We are around them every freakin' day of our life, they aren't exactly aliens are they?
And secondly, I don't understand the need at such an age. Whilst I would called myself a child, I would say that I am to young, as are the rest of my friends, to acutally engage in this sort of thing. I see relationships as being big things, the sort that you shouldn't enter in to lightly. In relationships, you are responsible for not only yourself, but your partner to, and unless you are willing to take that responsibility in hand you really shouldn't enter in to one. I don't think they understand this.
I wish I didn't have to go to school. Like would be much easier.
People of that age of both genders tend to begin to act a little strange. Some get over it, others live for several decades without showing any signs of maturity. Wait it out and if your friends continue to behave like an abnormally shallow and frivolous race of aliens, perhaps break with them before the urge to slay them becomes unbearable.
Your other friend (the male) sounds nice. Ignore their snide insinuations; of course one can like someone of the opposite gender without necessarily being attracted to them in the way that they imply.

I AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY!! ! Maybe we could pm each other and discuss about this subject. Every Friday (college) I am surrounded by these sort of girls you talk about and even though they are nice enough and like me, their habits seriously get on my nerves. There are three horrible girls in my college course whom I avoid completely. I agree with you about the guy thing - I don't have any friends who are boys myself, but I have boy accquaintances and I SO do not fancy them!

I agree with you as well.

I know I should just ignore it, but it is really difficult. I find it hard enough to act in a way that society finds appropriate without stuff like this.
Perhaps this is why I like this guy; We both have thoughts and feelings that differ drastically from the rest of the pack
Well atleast there is someone else out there who knows what I am talking about
Everyone seems to think that to even talk to a guy means you like him, but in reality it is just being friendly, y'know?

I have a guy like that too. I feel secure around him. Your description of him is very close to how I would describe my guy.
The only problem I might have is he may be straight (I'm starting to feel love for him. I'm gay too.) I'm uncertain of what to do.
Ignore the girls. It's the only possible thing to do. You may be ridiculed for being a recluse, but the quality of friends is much more important than the quantity of friends (at least with aspergers.)
How do I express my affection?
I understand completely.
Also just to say I hate NT girls who are bullies. They do it in such a way that you can't get them back for it, but cause you real physical pain and grief.
I think these friends however have simply assumed that because you can talk to this guy like no other you have a connection with him and they have love on the brain (like all teenagers at this age do). The rush of horomones configures our brains from this point from children to adults and its a hard time for any teen. I suggest you calmly explain to them that he is an actual friend and although you're quite close to him you have no physical attraction for him whatsoever (even if that is not true). I had to do this to explain about my cousin. :S

Moop - you are so right!
P.S You also have a cool but freaky avatar.

The hormones thing is extremely true. Even I have "boys" "boys" running through my brain a great deal. I don't fancy anybody though, I don't even know if I'm lesbian or straight yet. I'll just have to see, I'm still young.

Well I considering how I'm a guy, I feel the same way about NT guys my age (17). It seems like all of them are jerks and with time I've just started ignoring them. I want to bash them with a gravity hammer (or whatever it was called) from Halo 3 . I'm guessing that over time you will be able to ignore these girls. You see, it's really weird because I know a few Aspie guys too and they are completely the opposite and they annoy me. I only know two guys who I would truly consider "awesome" and they are also my best friends. As for girls, I seem to get along with them better than guys (NT or aspie, especially aspie), except for the NT ones that seem to prefer the guys who are jerks because I don't have a chance with them. Anyways, if you ever would like to talk, PM or MSN me.
