AS/ASD - what labels do people give you most?

Post Reply New Topic

Dyke is something I get a lot (I am currently quite overweight and not up for effort with my appearance.

Wierd, Strange.

i mostly tend to talk to my friends and people who like me... so i get "cute" and "beautiful" a lot from various people (polyamoury with all aspies/people with aspie traits ftw!)

but others... um...

smart
lazy
"if you cared about school at all you would play absolutely no video games" (my mom is strange)
crazy
weird
"omg what's that mark on your aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrmmmmmmm?????" (um, my barely noticeable birthmark, why? seriously, i showed it to a friend and asked if it was really that noticeable and he had to squint and get really close to see it o_O)
"omg your hair is soooooooo loooooong i want to touch it!" (not so much anymore since i cut 10 inches off to donate, now it's normal standards of long hair but not super long... but it was a blessing in disguise because i got more ok with being touched)
small
short
"omg you need to eat more you're anorexic" (um no, i'm actually just barely underweight, it's just that the weight is either muscles or making me "curvy" which is why people freak out when they see my tiny wrists)
"you're so small and cute i want to pick you up! *picks me up*" (GAHHH!! !! come back, floor!)
"stop freaking out and just deal" (you're the one who is refusing to do what you promised, YOU deal!)
attention seeker (because of meltdowns which are apparently for attention? the only way that makes sense is that i often know that a certain person, usually my girlfriend, can help me calm down a lot quicker so i request them over and over and then calm down then i get "my way"... actually it's that being near her is just calming, i'm less likely to even START to meltdown when she's around)
"wow you know a lot about cat genetics!" (thank you, thank you)

idk if those are all labels but.. :3

Shy
quiet
nerd
brainy
weird
cold
naive
smart

Shy is by far the most common one. People keep telling me to come out of my shell, stop being shy and to socialize more.

Good things: people who actually know me say I care about others a lot, I'm compassionate, have a good outlook on life, and am smart.

Bad things (usually from people who are just judging by first impressions: cold, rude, bitchy, aloof, doesn't listen, a nervous wreck, crazy, conceited, etc.

Neutral things: people label me as a lesbian quite a lot. Many think I'm shy but I'm really not, I just don't talk when I don't have anything to say.

Smart
Honest
Respectful
Sweet
Creep
Pervert

NERD...thats what everyone calls me. Its used so much I actually respond to it like a name. I take it as a complement though. There's a lot worse things to be called. Other things people call me...

Geek
Dork
Quiet
Shy
Too conservative (A guy I met told me I was too conservative for him. What's that supposed to mean? Pff)
Innocent
Naive
Gullible
Intelligent
Hermit
