Rating weird things NTs have said to me on a scale of 1/10

[unperson]

'There's something about you'

I'll rate some of the more memorable things NTs have said with emojis instead of numbers... less confusing to me.

"You're really something, SolarPoweredNightOwl. We don't know what, but you're something."
"You should join the military."
"GET A HOBBY!" (Shouted at me by a passing car as I was out enjoying a hobby.)
"STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW!" (Police officer who had apparently been chasing me for a minute)
"See, this is why I like you better than (person). You're quiet when you do your weird stuff."

"Calm down" or "don't get upset" 6/10

I'm not upset, I just have no idea what my voice sounds like.

"You're angry" infuriating/10

I'm not angry, actually.

"Yes you are."

OK, NOW I'm angry.

There's actually a phobia of swear words? That's amazing because most of my life I've had a profound hatred of both saying and hearing swears and I had to learn to block some of it out so I wouldn't go insane. A few months before I was finally diagnosed with Aspergers, however, I was being really nasty and even saying the F word. When the staff at the group home told my mom she was shocked because she knew that was very unusual for me. The staff thought it was because I always acted like an angel around her. They couldn't have been more wrong.

I think I've had almost every phobia there is, including a few that haven't invented yet. The few things I've never had a phobia of are cats, water, and clowns.

This is a great thread!

6/10

-I do try, it’s just not good enough for you
-I’d take comfort over looking good any day
-Certain clothes/accessories bother me physically

‘It wasn’t that loud!’
5/10

-Then why are my ears ringing?
-You don’t know how loud it was to me
-You don’t have sensory sensitivities

‘Stop asking stupid questions’
8/10

-I want to make sure I understand 100%
-I don’t want to make a mistake just because I didn’t understand the instructions
