- i can't hide irritation, it shows up on my face immediately, it happens all the time, supposedly i can have a really nasty look when i'm irritated, it hasn't incentivised people to be my friend
- i can't stand light touch, which a few ex gf's found a bit strange
- my default setting is to analyse and to discuss based on logic, and to point out where people are not being so and pointing out why that probably is, i'm permanently in 'tricorder' mode
- my leg bounces up all the time, sometimes both of them depending on how uncomfortable i am
- when i have to leave an event, i have to leave immediately, not 5 minutes later, but now
- when people deviate from a plan or agreement or are late, i get upset/angry
- when i start something i have to finish it, started a game - set a goal - been playing 10hrs a day to achieve it and have blocked everything else out (including gf) - as soon as i've acquired what i want i lose interest - tend to like the grind of levelling - but don't really enjoy the purpose of a game - i'll grind the most expensive ship in a game - buy it - and never touch it again
- when people start talking smalltalk, i switch off and start thinking about something else that interests me
- based on my knowledge and understanding of a person and the nature and topic of a conversation, i listen to the person's opening position, i extrapolate the conversation in my head, know where and how it will probably end, this takes about a second, at this point i lose all interest, and the longer it takes to get where i assume it will end the more irritated and annoyed i get, see above about what my face will be dong during that time
- i keep my place in the dark and only turn on a light if i need it to do something
- i can't stand heat, it makes my quirks much worse, even in the winter i leave a window open in my space, to the chagrin of my gf
- can't stand noise, when i'm trapped and can't leave, i get angry and start mumbling
i don't have any friends, and don't feel that i need any, so i'm not really that worried about what other people think, i do see some people regularly (family) and i've told them my eccentricities to limit the damage, the eccentricities are not really the issue - it's just that the people that see them somehow make it about themselves and feel insulted - when you take that away it's all good
i'm lucky that my gf accepts me for who i am, in the rare situations when we are with people, she knows the signs and knows how to make me aware when things start going sideways. i usually realise myself, but always get so caught up in the moment and only realise after the fact,
