Do you ever think you give the 'creep' vibe?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think i come off as creepy per say, i think its more that since i come off as awkward socially, and in addition is hyper self aware yet often camouflage this in being bubbly and friendly when i meet people, yet then comes periods were i go werehermit and isolate myself. In addition my interests might stand out as a big contrast to the mainstream, plus my interest takes up much of my free time, which to some might seem over the top.
So i guess its not really that i come off as creepy, i think its more that i appear alien to people since i'm not easy to read/ understand, and since they might be confused about were they have me, since i seem to change my ways of relating in waves.
In other words i puzzle people i guess, and that can cause discomfort

us aliens gotta stick together!

Yup!

Ya, I'm weird like that...

I'd like to meet the OP to see what that "creepy" vibe looks like when it comes from a woman, for a change. I'm so used to being the creep I don't really know how to behave around women anymore---any failure to studiously pretend I'm unaware of their existence, any split-second-long accidental eye contact earns me a disgusted and defensive look at best. I avoid sitting next to them or getting too close, but it's not enough.

^^^I can feel a lot of where you're comin' from there. I just stumbled upon this site, below- and it suddenly dawned on me in a visceral way, what those NTs must feel when they regard me-
(clicky)lifelike Russian dolls

I'm not sure I get it---those faces look cute

Oh! I'd read about the Uncanny Valley, but I took for granted those faces were human-like enough to be past it. I didn't suspect I was supposed to be creeped out by them

I find the really fake charming people to be extremely obvious. They scare me, because I can tell the charm is put-on. Other people (NTs) often seem to fall for the fake charm.

I tend to get this feeling from salesman, ladies' men, very successful female professionals, lawyers, some doctors, etc.

Sociopaths, from what I've read, tend to be attracted to careers where they are in positions of power. Careers that are low-paying, require a lot of empathy, or that do not get a lot of recognition or admiration are not attractive to sociopaths.

A lot of the people that I get the creepy vibe from I think are either sociopaths or narcissists.

I know that I seem odd to others, but I don't think I usually creep them out.

Those faces are creepy to me, but then I've always been creeped out by that sort of doll. I'm waiting for the eyes to follow me.

My mind is drawn to the uncanny/spooky/weird. I have a kind of fetishistic thing about spooking myself out.

A girlfriend once complimented my 'bedroom eyes'. I had no idea what she meant, so looked it up. She was referring to my hooded eyes. Apparently it can convey a sort of 'sultry' and 'seductive' look. Of course, much of the time, day to day, it just looks creepy. Outside of a mutual context of lurve, it only looks like I'm trying to come on to someone via eye contact. I'm not. I'm just trying to catch their attention so I can get my order of chips in.

Add in my photosensitivity, which has me narowing my eyes unless it's particularly overcast (thanfully I live in Britain), and I probably come across as someone perpetually making intense eyes at people, when really it's just what my face does and 'bright light! Bright light!'.
