I honestly have no idea what most people think about me in real life. I know some people have that "Wow, that guy is weird" body language and I know that some guy that I overhead on the phone when he was talking to my cousin called me a fag, so I speculate that most people in real life think I'm a fag, and don't ask me why. I don't purposely act pretentious, I think?

So, what do most people think of you? And by that, I mean... how do you think they perceive your personality?

I have few clues, since I'm alone most of the time and what friends I have don't make personal comments much.

Makes it hard taking those tests that evaluate your personality. "Do people often say that you're ____?" Answer: No clue. That's usually not given as a choice. :?

A lot of people tell me that I'm nice, creative, artistic and spiritual. I'm also described as being messy, overly sensitive and worrying too much.

I have no idea what people think of me, because I don't usually ask them.

The few times I have managed to get someone to tell me, I've been told I'm quiet, but with a good sense of humour.

Also people usually assume I'm gay, because they tell me that, which I don't really mind, except that I'm not gay and on the off chance I'd ever manage to get a girlfriend, that might make it harder to find one.

Most people think that I look like Mick Avory and that's without me saying anything or showing pictures to them. Another thing before I move onto another thread. Most people don't think that I'm autistic. Why do you ask?

What people think of me, ranging from mild to moderate to severe: abnormal, strange, weird, freak, mutant. People like to tell me these things to make sure I know what they think of me.

I'm curious about how aware autistic individuals are of how their peers regard them personally as in their personality. When someone asked this question on an NT site, it seemed people had a pretty good idea of what other people think of them, but I was the only one who didn't really seem to have a good idea, so I was wondering if my cluelessness might be autistic in nature.

Oh, by the ways, I have a database of the entire Q&A to student.com so I can research "NT answers" with ease so I can provide examples. I think I'll do that now...

I don't know what most people think of me. I'm not about to ask 50.1% of the people I know what they think of me, either.

Here's a set of answers to the question "What do you people think of you?" on a teenage social networking site which probably mostly has NTs. I used this site when I was a teenager, and I started practicing my "skillz" on it as I gained them during college, so I have an entire database backup of their Q&A and I can search through it with ease.

Unearthly sense of humor. Weird overall but funny? I don't know. Best shot is to ask them.

Nobody tells me, so I don't really know for sure, but my guess would be "Crazy old cat lady recluse".

to aquaintances i'm weird, putting on a "good" act (too good to be true), reserved, standoffish, boring, smart. to family i'm big-hearted, polite, afraid of heights which is annoying, assertive, good-natured, uncomplaining.

An inlaw recently stated "you didn't make eye contact with us." "You came across as probably shy and appeared generally uncomfortable around people."

Yep. That's the way it all looks. I believe I had more in past social issues with this via executive functioning, than now .

I think the thing most people have said to me is that I am intelligent.

Beyond that, I have nothing.
