In high school sometimes. A guy in history class was whispering to me, and then asked me if I got high. I told him the truth which was "no" (was an aspie loner with no friends, thus no peer pressure, thus never even touched a cigarette much less anything else). He grinned and said "YOU LIE...you're so spaced out blah blah blah!". So somehow I came off as looking like a druggie even though wasn't one. Later in college I did partake, but that's another story.

when i was 27 my precious lil "parents" had the nerve to ask if i was on drugs.

numerous times, strangers asked me for weed or "trees". maybe i look like i deal drugs. some girl thought the KitKat i just ate looked like weed. and she told me she saw me with weed. she looked so innocent and confident.

:roll:

in 11th grade theater class. i was sitting in the audience watching other students perform. someone had the nerve to ask if i was stoned.

Yup, that and "What are you mad about?"

I'm not mad, I just don't go round grinning like an idiot. :?

yeah, precious lil "people" act like they have a moral right to do or say anything. legal or illegal. and if i respond in any method other than :mrgreen: passive aggressive tolerance :twisted: , they have the nerve to tell me "you got mad".

but when i do or say the slightest thing they do not like, they have the nerve to tell me "people don't like it". as if they have the moral right to veto anything i do, just b/c they do not like it.

but "mad" is not an emotion. the word those precious lil "people" are looking for is :| angry :evil: .

or annoyed.

When I was working in my 20s, my supervisor accused me of being on drugs because he thought I wasn't doing my job properly and I looked "out of it". I wasn't taking anything. A few weeks down the track and an ADHD diagnosis later, my supervisor said I had improved in my work. This time I actually was on drugs (dexamphetamine).

Yes, I get that too, and "whats wrong, why do look so sad?" I get fed up of it. Every day after work my housemates ask me this constantly, and at work I was sitting on my own having lunch and a friend came over and told me to get some anti depressants, when I'm fine. I also remember my dad telling me off for looking miserable when we went out into town, I always wonder what they are talking about

That's pretty much how i act when I'm comfortable with my surroundings and stop acting, i think if I acted myself wherever Id of been put in a mental asylum years ago lol. Though I was doing a bad job of acting as I still got the drug comments and "are you autistic"?

On many occasions.

Unless I am in a good mood (which seldom seems to be the case anymore) I look either high or extremely intense.

I was asked that constantly when I was in my teens and 20's. Most of the time I was not, but sometimes I was.

In my late teens and early twenties I was constantly asked if I was doing any drugs. My peers called me Stoner in high school. I took it as a compliment because I liked hippies and their lifestyle back than.

I found out after highschool that everyone thought I had been on drugs the entire time.

Yes. :lol: For various number of reasons.

From genuine suspicions to a complete crack of a joke. Usually, whenever I'm not serious or angry.
