- You're weird
- You're strange
- Are you okay?!
- You look worried!
- Smile!
- I don't care about "your stories"
- I don't understand a word about what you are trying to say!
- You don't seem to like your birthday/christmas presents....

And for people who know that I am an Aspie:
- What does it feel like for you?

etc, etc, etc...............

Are you tired?
Are you okay?
Why do you do that?
Why do you always say that?
Is this okay?
My dad would always say this, "she knows". (I still don't know if it was complementary or sarcastic because he seems aspie)

I would always get that remark about presents too. I think your supposed to say "thank you" at least 3 times to confirm you actually appreciate it. (Like not crying or throwing it against the wall wasn't confirmation enough)

It seems to me NT people think people walk around smiling for no reason, very weird. Seriously I've been told to smile when I'm just walking down the street, why?

Yes it doesn't make sense. Whats the point of smiling without a valid reason?

Can you smile?
Cheer up!
You're heartless!
You don't listen to me!
You don't care!
Are you ok?
Earth to Valoy!
Do you love me?
Go out, meet people!
Say something!
Be more friendly!
Look at me!
You are young woman, you should...
You're so boring!
Do you have any friends?
Don't be so smart, I'm sure you don't know everything.
I don't share you interests.
Do you have feelings?
You're not normal.

I get "Smile!" a lot too. So annoying. But the worst is "Shh! Be quiet!" or "You're too loud!" (because I don't talk much). It makes me want to punch the person who says it.

When I ask for help with something I can't do on my own, my parents accuse me of being selfish.

Currently:
"Don't worry."
"Do you need help?"
"Let me do that."
"Are you okay?"
"You're funny."
"You look tired."
"Careful!" (when I drop something, trip over something, bump into something, or knock something over. All of the aforementioned examples happen far more often than I'd like to admit.)

When I was a child:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Are you retarded?"
"Why are you ugly?"
"Why are you always by yourself? Don't you have any friends?"
"Why are you so quiet? Are you abused or something?"

etc, etc, etc.

I've gotten the "smile" comment a few times over the years, but not too often. I'm fortunate in the sense that I live in a massive and very jaded city. People aren't expected to be too happy here, so my sullen default expression doesn't stand out. Razz
