Creep

Post Reply New Topic

That's interesting.......there's a lady I know who displays a lot of Aspie traits, and she refers to herself as a "magnet for tossers." Could this be an occupational hazard for Aspie women?

I'm sure that a lot of parents thought I was a creep, when I was going through my Austin Powers phase.

Yes- it may just be if you are a person who displays any type of eccentricity, like Goth clothes or hair (me at times) will attract someone else who is eccentric. That isn't a bad thing necessarily. But it could also be that the body language an Aspie projects give the men the idea they are going after a vulnerable target. This was part of my problem for a long time because men would want to date me ,thinking I was going to put up with their crap. I don't put up with much at all. I just seem to be that passive upon first inspection.

You're a charming creep GOF, that makes all the difference.

I really don't care if I "creep" people out anymore.

In fact....it may be a good thing. At least it's a good reason for them to leave me the f**k alone

Probably a gut reaction.
Not conscious, so they cannot tell you what they find creepy about you.
They would probably say vague things like demeanor.
Maybe not.
I do not find people really creepy unless they have an extreme fascination with knives, to an extent that they need to show me their collection up close every time I see them.
A friend of mine bit people because of his obsession with zombies.
That was pretty odd.
Also, showing pictures of decapitated heads and making jokes about rape come across as creepy to me.
But what the hell, how is being boring creepy?
That makes no sense whatsoever.
Dictionaries are weird.

I have a friend who I've heard people call a creep among other things. But she is actually anything but a creep. She killed her husband, she shot him. It was all over the news. But I don't watch the news usually. So I didn't catch all the bad things the said about her. She was in jail for sometime but eventually allowed to leave to work part-time at a hotel where I worked as a bartender. People would often come through my bar and tell me things. So many came to warn me about the creep who shot her husband that was now working at the front desk. The hotel was getting a bargain cause she has some kick ass accounting skills. She was quiet and wasn't friendly with anyone except maybe people from out of town. I watched her for a while then I started speaking to her when ever possible. She snapped at me at first but she realised I wasn't in any of the workplace cliques and we became good friends close like family actually. Her deceased husband had a record of beating the crap out of her. She had left him and he had come after her. The gun was his and she was trying to get it away from him. He was stoned and she wasn't. At her trail all of this came out, he had filed the trigger action and had a criminal record. She on the other hand didn't even have a parking ticket. Some of you who are from Arizona might know who I'm talking about. Maybe she is a "man killer" and a "creep" to some but she's one of my best friends who was trying to defend herself. The woman is brilliant and I have no doubt she has AS traits.

Considering the truly awful things both our "businessmen" and politicians seem to be forgiven for, it's amazing when people demonize a poor woman like your friend.

Her sociopath cretin of a husband was no big loss to the world.

That's my feelings exactly.

I have. But I have internalize paranoia about it because of AS. It seems to me that some people do some extremely creepy things that I would never do like hacking, and worse but because they don't think of themselves as creepy they arent. I find it very ironic. I think this is more something cultural and misread than anything, the biggest creeps are fast talking charismatics that no one ever sees coming.
