Personality quirks, morals, oppinions, needs, feelings; none of these are relevant to me.

I do what I deem right, regardless of what other people think. I'm not a criminal, a scholar, an artist, nor do I stand out in a crowd. I'm genuinely average and make no appology for it. I don't revel in being called special or outstanding, I do what I can in a manner that suits me and when the path I lay out for myself takes me right down the middle then so be it.

If you're not one of the "special" people who wear strange outfits, dye their hair in spectacular colours, have unusual interests or hobbies or raise their voice because their oppinions need to be heard; then post in this thread in acceptance of your glorious averageness and general apathy towards the "chosen".

Or don't.

Time for some rice pudding.

Yep, although I lean towards what many would label "criminal",lol that description fits me pretty well. Yeah, I run my mouth online and act like an ass sometimes, but that's exaggerated due to the safety of having this computer screen in my face. I'm normally more of an observer, and rather quiet, only opening up in front of people I trust well, and in small numbers. I can be quite charming if the conditions are right, but that's not the general rule. :wink:

I am raising Tadpoles in an aquarium
and I feed them my Psoriasis flakes (it's like dandruff).

Does that count as 'special' ?
:wink:

I never understood this need to be different.
I never understood this need to be me.
I never understood this need to be normal.
I never understood this need to be accepted.
I never understood this reason not to care.
I never understood this reason to give a damn.

I never understood why I never understood,
All I know is this and nothing more...
I don't care unless it's rice with pudding.

My hair isn't spiked or dyed wild colours
I'd rather wear nice clothes, than leather, chains and ripped jeans
I listen to music that is mainstream...old but none the less, mainstream.
I don't care to wear make-up or jewlery
I have 60s hair as opposed to crazy, modern hair.
I wear pea coats, instead of wild neon jackets.

I don't care 8)

I'm not average but I would certainly support and respect anyone who wishes to 'nail their colors' to the mast for BEING average.

I am above average is some respects, well above in a few, below average in other respects and .................severely below average in my social intuition 'skills'.

To address the specific question that you raised about being fashionably average..........well

In many respects my dress sense is rather average but then I have a 'penchant' (or is it pension) for;

Italian style shoes and designer sunglasses

My hair is terminally boring; it was never quite the right kind of hair to do anything with, not even a 'brush back' (which at school I naively thought would have been socially redeeming for me)

Because I am quite athletic and still sport a V shape upper body, I tend to wear shirts that many my age have long forsaken (and forgotten).

All in all, the same score card as my non-fashion score card :!:

I think it would be most interesting just to have a show of hands (a poll) of WP members who think they genuinely ARE average in ALL respects.

A nice anthropological thread.

Like mine. It's the right kind to shave off once a week :-)

It's funny but when I was young I really envied my friends hair, it was kinda spiked. I thought it was so cool and that if I could have hair like that all my problems would be over :lol:

And to get back to the topic; I don't think I'm average at anything. I'm either way over average, or well under, nothing inbetween.

I dress weird sometimes, but it's more because I feel it fits myself than ever wanting to make a statement. I do not want too much attention.

I really wish I could be like this. I feel like I give like 400% too much of a f*ck about my life. I would be much happier if I had apathy.

We seem to understand each other. :wink:

I tried smoking for a few months when I was 14, in an effort to be 'cool' and 'fit in'. Despite being Autisitc it was clear to me that smoking made me look (and feel) ridiculous......(one of the few times that I actually saw myself as I REALLY was)

Of course now that I know I have AS, I obviously ALREADY was considered ridiculous to the NTz at school (even before the aborted smoking mission)...........ironically my ridiculous attempt at smoking MIGHT have been the ONE thing that I did that the NTz DIDN'T find ridiculous about me :roll:
