Ummm it varies.

Younger females and females my own age do not tend to like me and tend to be bitchy towards me.

Males of all ages tend to be friendly, seem to help me out a lot and seem to want to keep talking to me. However there are some exceptions when it comes to males dominated by a female social group.

Shy males seem to adopt me.

Older females (oap's) seem to want to tell me about the war a lot.

All of them think I am eccentric, weird, odd, strange etc. Some hate my quirks but some seem to think they are cute instead. Some are just puzzled by them. I am also known for being difficult to get hold of socially and am told I appear aloof at times. People are not sure if I am friendly until they get to know me a bit due to my being aloof and hard to get hold of socially (I am friendly but I am also rather introverted so this can be mistaken for not being friendly or being aloof etc)

That is in the real world.

Online people just b***h at me endlessly...actually that is usually females as well. Females tend to be very unfriendly wherever you go. No offense meant to all the females out there, its just the way it seems sometimes. There are some exceptions though and some females can be lovely.

If anyone is going to be nice to me it is usually a male. I also fair better with males if I am having a job interview etc. For that reason I tend to favour them too and nearly all of my social interactions over the last 20 years have been with men (pn not always sexual although they do seem to get romantically attached at times). Men can be rather sweet, unless they do get attached sexually and I do not feel the same...then it goes to hell and they can be as bitchy as the females.

Strange critters human beings.

D. I need to retreat and completely isolate myself at times with my own interests in order to function well in society and not feel anxious. The people I tend to become annoyed with the most are people who demand my attention all the time and always want to talk. I like people who give me my space and who also need space themselves: my boyfriend and all of my close friends are like that.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

Combination of B and C. Sometimes they seem to assume I'm hostile (when I'm not) and they react with suspicion and malice in return, and sometimes they treat me as though I'm stupid (or like a kid - I'm in my 30's), becoming very condescending and "dumbing down" what they have to say. In either case, this is only true of people have talked to me for a while and gotten to know me a bit; often I seem able to appear normal enough to "pass" during a short conversation or a series of brief, superficial interactions, unless I'm under stress. D also comes into play at times, when I run into one of the few people who doesn't fit B and C. Even people I like can overwhelm me quickly.

Almost always B. Sometimes A, and often C from family.

Most of the time, how do people act towards you?

A). They look at you a lot, seem amused, like you're a spectacle or oddity of some sort, but they seem interested

B). Aloof, distant, as if you're scary or not to be trusted

C). Treat you like a much younger child

D). Very friendly towards you, but you are the one who needs alone time to recharge

E). Other?

Choose one or more, or maybe it is a combination of the above. (I get mostly "B") 8O :(


This would have made a good poll :D
I guess the answers would vary depending on the situation. Hopefully not B although i've gotten that. I don't like to scare good people. I have a lot of tattoos and sometimes i think folks may jump to conclusions..

E i would have to say or B. I don't really socialize aside from my wife.
A applies as well i guess it depends on what is going on.
D i need to recharge a lot. The older i get, the less power my battery has.

Sometimes D though :D

Mostly A, which confuses me because I think I'm pretty ordinary. And then D.

C). Treat you like a much younger child


Most people ask my GF who is a year younger than me if she is my mom. She does not look old, I mean they do think she is between 25-29. She is 28. I am 29 and people still think I am very young. I remember we made a new friend and she said "f**k em!. oops sorry did not mean to cuss around a kid." We looked at each other like "what kid?" she points at me and says, "aint she like 14?" I was like . ."I am 29 will be thirty in may" she almost fell out of the car.

My gf was like next time they ask me if you are my kid, if we can get a discount Im going to say yes. I just laughed because I was not sure if I should say "thats illegal" or asking why or if she was joking. Usually my problem with that sort of thing. So I just laugh.
