What do most people think of you?

I don't know you personally, but I think you're interesting.

The way others feel about me seems to be totally dependent on them, or maybe I'm just different depending on whom I'm with. This impaired sense of self causes me to be unsure about that. But, if I like someone and feel comfortable in their presence, they usually like me back. If I feel someone is being negative towards me, I'll retreat into my shell, giving them all the more reason to not like me or think I'm unfriendly. The jealous type think I'm boastful, when I'm only trying to make conversation. My boss thought I was disorganised (true), stressed (true, but with good reason) and overly expressive with my emotions (not true, she hadn't seen 1/10 of what was inside). At school and uni, I was the one to poke fun at (they thought I probably didn't realise that I was being made fun of, but I did).

I don't even know, it varies a ton from person to person. Some of the most frequent descriptions are smart/intelligent/genius, cute/adorable, hilarious/funny, weird/crazy and quiet. I believe I've also been referred to as the opposite of all of those at times. I don't get it.

Everybody has their own perception of what is humorous or boring, what is smart and what is stupid and so on. Some people in the math department at the local college consider me to be brilliant but many of those who are more socially "normal" or whatever seem to think I'm pretty ret*d (Those closer are more polite, calling it "you lack common sense".), possibly because I'm slow or have ToM weaknesses.

I think some people find me quite weird, but they don't say this to me, so I can't be sure, it's just a feeling.

I've often been described as 'sweet', not sure why everybody always says that. Sweet as in very friendly, English is not my first language, not sure if it's the right word. And then there are people who say that I'm quiet and people who say that I should stop talking all the time. It's a contradiction :p Also I've been told that I seem hard to approach. That is not a bad thing because I don't like being approached all the time!

My guess is that most people think that I am distant and unapproachable in day to day life and they are right! I totally agree with them.

People think I am funny, weird, some think I am stupid and others think I am smart, and insane.

I know that honest definitely comes into it. I've been told by various relatives that they trust me completely. I've had cousins asking me to stop at theirs while they go on holiday, my older dodgy brother saying im the most trustworthy person he knows and saying im quote "straight down the line", my nan says that out of all her grandchildren she only trusts me and my sister.

I think i'm known for speaking my mind. I've caused problems before through opening my big mouth. On the flip side though is that you'll always know where you stand with me. I don't let things build up, i just say what i think and forget about it.

I know that most i dont have any problems with anyone. I have a decent sized family and when you're growing up like that you always have one group that won;t talk to the other group, a cousin that wont have anything to do with another cousin, an aunt that wont talk to your nan, etc etc. I've never ever got involved in that kind of thing and ive always had something to do with everyone. So erm, random appropriate word for not taking sides and being ok with everyone.

I suppose im quite sarcastic at times but i try to make it obvious to everyone and i only ever do it to be funny. Some people take that the wrong way i guess. People on my wavelength laugh.


I think that in a normal work setting i get on with everyone. I don't let sex come into my relations with anyone, im not competitive with guys and i treat girls like they're people. I don't talk down to people below me, i dont talk up to people above me. I'm hardworking and most people value me through how well i do whatever job im doing. I suppose respect is something people would give me before friendship, people dont like me but they know im not a bad person. Im just not like them, ill always be an outsider around most people.

That, and that different people have seen me acting different ways in different situations.

So the same person is calling you opposites? It sounds like they're remarking more on the action, response, etc. than yourself.

No, I'm saying that different people form different opinions of me because they have their own views, and because they have different first encounters with me and know me from different places.

I doubt most people think of me at all. Fine by me.

People don't want to put up with me because they don't like me, except my wife. She's an aspie too

Cosigned on the bold part.

I found out at work that people think I am geeky and moody but also kind and considerate.
My work is pretty technical and my colleagues choose me to teach them stuff because they apparently like my pedantic explanations and the logical notes that I write ! !
They happily tolerate my strange dress sense and, as they know "I don't do parties" and hate crowds and noise etc, they will take me for a drink in a small group.
I bless my immediate colleagues at work with eye contact because I like them a lot.

I have no idea, but I think my peers think I'm awkward, hyper, immature, boring and weird.
