How are u different from everyone around you in essence?

Post Reply New Topic

I think what sets me apart the most from everyone around me is that I don't believe ideas that can't stand a five second analysis before they crumble to the ground.

At some point in a new relationship, invariably the point is reached when the other person is put off by my logic-based thinking, and decides we're too different to keep in touch.

What about you?

I am concise.

I dont care who is marrying who, who is breaking up with who, who is dating with who, who is breeding with who, the products of said breeding.

I just scare people. I think of things that would never cross a "normal" person's mind, and then I share what I'm thinking.

I have bad hygiene and a bad fashion sense.

I am detached from the world, as if in a cloud, my own cloud.

Things take me a while. Seems like everything I do, say, or even think has a "delay," however slight, sometimes major. Everyone "gets" things but me. Then I "get" stuff that many others don't... Never "in sync"...

That's a perfect description Zen Mistress.

What I have is called "Logic."
What they have is unresolved issues and self-defeating loyalties.
I cut right through the crap and go directly from A to B.
When they sort-of understand it, they can't handle it and want to kill the messenger.
When they're so twisted around by their own crap that they can't see straight, they call it voodoo.


On the other hand, SENSITIVITY is a relevant, significant factor. Ignoring it would be irrational.

If you care about the person, insentivity can hurt him for no purpose.
If you care about the argument, insensitivity can drive him deeper into his lunacy, and will defeat the purpose of the conversation.
If you care about your place in the group, insensitivity can ruin whatever fragile toe-hold you have.
If you care about your safety, you will not provoke people who are in a position to hurt you.
If you care about your liberty, you will not say or do things that will provoke an insane person or system to put you in a straight jacket.

But other than that, logic is a good thing.

I think what sets me apart from the people around me is I never really know what to say.

People like me and tend to favor my company. I am highly regarded by my peers. At first.

Then something happens, and I still have no idea what that is, and then people stop calling.
Stop laughing at my jokes.
Start looking at me with just the finest tint of pity in their eyes.

I'd kill to know what the heck I'm doing wrong.

Failure to bond.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do it better.
Even in grown-up, civilized groups, you are required to find a place in the pecking order.
They'll tolerate you for a while, but eventually you have to play the game.
I don't really understand it and at the same time am offended by it.
I can't figure out how to be a permanent guest.

I don't follow fads like most, if not all of the NTs do at my school. It's always something... Ipods, Halo, Iphones, etc.

I fail to keep up their illusions about themselves. I think they use expressions like 'keeping their mirrors dusty' to describe how you help pretend that you believe their illusions of self.

I am extremely introverted, I tend to process my thoughts more slowly, I am heaps more socially anxious than any one I know, excepting my son. I'm not that well organised.

Currently I am really around so few people...and the people I actually am around are quite similar to me.
it has been so long since I have been around people I am different from, that it is really hard to say how it is that i am different from them.
All I have current contact with are my few AS-ish male friends and my As-ish family.
I can't really put my finger on the ways I am different from other people outside that circle...The difference does exist...I just can't articulate it.
