Are you aloof?

Post Reply New Topic

Depends, it shifts from very aloof (And I was mostly that as a child) to, as a stim talking so much I can't even tell what I am saying and following people around the house.

"aloof" can't be measured

It depends I suppose. I mostly keep to myself in public, at home it depends how I'm feeling. Sometimes I'm interactive, other times it takes a bit to even get my attention.

I will initiate sometimes but it's pretty uncomfortable. Then other times I want to but have no idea how.

I expect I seem pretty stand offish to others. I've been accused of being apathetic and intimidating...Not by the same people. Lol

Some people are not good to interact with

And some people act in surprising ways

It's just easier to throw the baby out with the bathwater



Usually, the most favorable response is that someone smiles and nods

And the worst response is subject to imagination



Some lil dipshits truly believe that, whenever someone does something they do not like, someone violated their stupidass " rights"



As a result of. Said Violation, the alleged victim has a moral entitlement, to do whatever the f**k he wants


That's high negative social energy extrovert

High positive social energy extrovert

Act all buddy buddy

"Aaah ha ha ha!"

Until you do something they do not like

f**k Rolando . Ass hole won't shut the f**k up

Think so.
I wasn't always like this. In fact, from what I've heard, I used to be very outgoing and cheerful when I was a toddler.
NOT ANYMORE!
If I'm understanding what it means to be aloof. Cold and distant? Well, yeah, often. I keep to myself. I've grown to stop wanting social interaction.

When I feel like it.

It's not that I don't want social interaction, but it's not worth the risk

Or the energy

Risk versus reward

Risks are large

Homophobia, autism



Rewards are small and rare

My social responsiveness was gauged as "limited and awkward" by the doctor who assessed me. I think it depends on the setting, though. I'm very aloof in unfamiliar places and situations. I'm too preoccupied with processing my surroundings to pay attention to people then. But at home and in comfortable settings I love to engage with others. Talking (or typing) is largely how I process various ideas and information that I've learned, so I find it very enjoyable.

I'll very seldom initiate interaction. In fact I'm struggling to recall when I ever did. If someone talks to me I'll respond as best I can.

My human interaction rate is pretty low. I don't go out of my way to talk to others too

I just don't care much about people who aren't interesting in the way that they are and who don't share my interests. For this yes.

I can sometimes have an impatient sort of feeling wash over me, where I feel that if someone talks to me I might snap.

Not quite, if I am interested in something. I can be very direct and sometimes I can also be warm, which I guess I consider the opposite of being aloof. However, the more exhausted I am, the more aloof I tend to become. Alternatively, I can become avoidant and anxious, which feels like the total opposite of aloof because I am set on edge and respond aggressively to everything.

I'm 100% aloof. At least these days, I am. I'm rather cold when someone tries to talk to me.

I'm very social when I'm with my two closest friends. I can be very aloof the rest of the time.

It has been said.
