Creep

Post Reply New Topic

How many of you come off as creeps to other people? I do and can't seem to make it stop.

Well all opinions of others are naturally subjective, and creepiness particularly so. So your feeling is probably irrational.

All that said I still feel exactly the same way. No doubt behaviors I exhibit specifically to avoid being seen as creepy make me seem more creepy too. People get suspicious when someone seems to be disingenuous and there is no immediately apparent reason. Suspicious feelings leads to fear, fear in the case of one with AS usually translates to the person making a judgment(such as he or she is creepy) as opposed to giving respect, since we aren't usually seen as successful due to our tendency to form smaller networks of associates, regardless of whether or not we are fiscally successful. Fear of someone sucessful=fear of someone powerful=respect=not us.

Well I totally gave people the creeps when I was in school. I may still but I don't know and I don't care so much. Sometimes it is a good method of personal protection. Are people telling you that you creep them out? Or are you just assuming you are? I think for many years after I graduated I felt people were still judging me the same way kids did in school, and it was not usually the case at all.

They tell me I creep them out.

Thats rude, really, Do they ever tell you what exactly creeps them out? I know that my staring and spaced out look was the issue as a kid. There were other things I bet, but I was called out actually for the staring. I also got caught talking to myself. It is not very helpful to tell someone they are creepy without telling them why, but that is just my opinion.

They do tell me sometimes, but most times people don't give me an explanation. One time it was simply sitting next to a group of people and they didn't want me there...but didn't tell me that. I also have been told I stare too much as well, on many occasions. I hate autism!

My gf read a blurb from an article in like, Vogue or Cosmo, to me.

The stuff she said sounded like a description of Aspie traits, and the blurb was titled "is he a creep?", I was thoroughly amused.

I have a history of creeping people out.

I have noticed it more with people that I have been infatuated with or people associated with my special interest.

I don't know if I creep people out or not.

I probably creep out people too much for them to be that forthcoming with me.

Incidentally, when this is mentioned to me, I explain it thusly: 'It is only natural for you to be slightly unsettled by me, I have the body language and mind of a large predatory cat, and I have already considered exactly how I would dismantle you, should the need arise.'

I do tend to creep out some people...and dogs. Maybe more so in the past.

I'm not entirely sure why.


But here are things people generally find creepy that you should avoid doing.

1. Standing to close to someone when there is plenty of standing room.
2. Staring at people.
3. Fixating on your hobbies in public.
4. Talking excessively about your hobbies to strangers or those who only know you casually.
5. Don't linger around a group of people or a person you do not know.


The next one is a bit vague but it's somewhat related to #4. There are a bunch of things NT's would consider odd to bring up randomly in a conversation, or odd to bring up at all, if it's in a conversation with someone you don't know very well, unless the opportunity to bring it up explicitly arises. Remember, many of us are less inhibited than NT's when it comes to sharing our interests or things we are thinking about and we need to keep that in mind.

For example. A while back they installed new crosswalk signals that countdown the time you have to cross to let you know how much time is left until the light turns yellow.

I thought this was a great idea and found myself wanting to tell people about it. There would have been no problem telling my best friend, or my close family members about this, but if I were to engage in casual conversation with someone with whom my relationship was less casual and more formal, or someone I didn't know very well, this would be considered an odd subject to talk about.

The exception to this might be old people who I see out on walks or at bus stops, because they generally seem to notice these things and generally seem to like to talk about them.

Creep (noun): Slang. a boring, disturbingly eccentric, painfully introverted, or obnoxious person.

Nobody's called me any of those things yet, though I've probably bored a few and disturbed them with my eccentricities here and there. Maybe it's because I don't push myself onto people......the slightest sign that I might not be wanted, and I take my business elsewhere. And I avoid people who think it's OK to insult others too readily.

Actually I was called a creep once........I'd just left school and hadn't had my job for very long when my supervisor called me that for taking too much interest in the work instead of sitting at the edge of her nasty little clique pretending that I thought the sun shone out of her butt. I took it as a compliment, as it was a sign I must be doing something right. I didn't get where I am today without making enemies.

Maybe a little, personally I don't care what people think of the way I look or dress.
I do seem to attract creepy guys.

I try my best not to creep people out, but it appears that I give off a creepy aura or something at least that is what one girl has told me.

Definition of Creep:
Slang. a boring, disturbingly eccentric, painfully introverted, or obnoxious person, a weird person, an annoying person. In other words a person that is not typical.
When I was a kid, I used to wonder why people thought I was creepy sometimes. Now I am not bothered when people are offended just because I am a little different from them.
