general Things people just don't understand about you

[Ricebug 555]

When I say that I don't like to make the topic of the conversation about myself.

People either don't understand or just don't care that I like to be alone. I can count on one hand the amount of people that have actually left me alone when I told them I wanted to be left alone.

[Yukibana 65]

So many things people don't understand about me...

 

Yes, I'm over 30 years old.  No, I don't want to get married or have children.

 

I love working with children, but don't want any of my own.

 

I am really as old as I am XD (I look really young for my age)

 

I absolutely hate having my picture taken.

 

Lettuce is the most disgusting food on the planet and no its not funny to taunt me with it.

 

My mom and I moved here to Arizona together, but people think I'm leeching off of her.  We're living together more like roommates.  I pay my share of the rent and bills.  My roommate just happens to be my mother right now.

 

Going to work is a major challenge for me everyday of my life.  I have extreme anxiety about going to work.  I take my meds and its usually okay, but its still really really hard.  And sometimes it comes across as laziness or not having dedication to my job when I really do love my job.  Its just very difficult for my brain.

 

Making fun of the way I talk or say things really sets my anxiety off.

 

Ugh, so many things.  I'm not your typical adult and it freaks people out.

People seem to think that when I'm silent to them for a long time, I'm being rude or that I'm not interested in them, when really, it's just that I lack a lot of motivation when it comes to socialising, as extroverted as I may appear at times. It also doesn't help that I'm often surprisingly busy, and just want to relax on my own or with very close friends once all that is done. Sometimes I do actually need to go offline and talk to no-one for a few days or even a week, because I know I can't do it, and that I shouldn't be forcing myself. Now, more than ever, I'm so scared of talking to new people and those I haven't talked to much before, and the idea of making new friends just feels to me now like having more people to disappoint. -_-

 

Some of my friends do understand that, and I'm very grateful for that... I just kinda wish some other people weren't so quick to assume the worst from me, even though I see where they're coming from. >.<

No one can always understand or be patient with me and my Aspergers /autism tendencies

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

A lot of people think I'm very confident and responsible, and they'd be right, but they act like it's second nature to me. It's really not. I got to this through a lot of hard work and painful experiences. I'm not gonna correct them but it does get annoying sometimes.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

They just can't understand why I am often so sad. I live in a safe environment, my family is not abusive, have it pretty nice here, food and warmth and I am not forced to do much. I am a very independent person. However, I feel so alone though, I got no one to talk to, I don't like talking to my family except for certain family members that I don't meet everyday. 

 

Many can't seem to understand why I want to help other people out who are depressed or having a bad time...

[Catpone Cerberus 23,604]

Others don't understand that what I was 4 years ago isn't the same what I am now.

[Guest]

I can't get up in the morning. People always tell me the best solution is to make a good sleep routine, but it doesn't matter if I get the recommended dose of sleep, lack sleep or sleep too much, I will wake up feeling groggy and fatigued.

 

My family have never understood that... 

[Silver Herald 169]

"Hey man, look at that ass!"

"...Yeah, so what?"

"Dude, are you gay?"

 

Not being obsessed with boobs/ass doesn't make my gay- I just don't view women in that way. Apparently, that concept is impossible to grasp.

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

When I say "I don't care about that anymore" it's not a negative statement. It means I feel freed from something that was binding me. I'd rather experience life as it comes than hold on to the past.

[Akari of Duskshire 581]

Just about everyone who isn't my friend or father seem to think that me being a martial artist means I'm always up for a fight at school. Martial arts is about discipline and self-control, not picking fights.

 

Some don't understand the concept of "no". When I say no, I don't mean yes, I don't mean maybe, I absolutely mean no.

 

Some also mistake my usual stoic, relaxed nature with either a sour mood or zero emotion. Really, I don't smile very often and I just don't get so excited about things that excite others. What excites me are songs, rpg games, and the arts (traditional, digital, and martial), not sports, celebrities, and who's dating who.

[DeadAccount 4,604]

That sometimes I am easily hurt

[Side Bird 566]

People don't understand that when I open a book..

 

DON'T TALK TO ME PLEASE.

 

Also I'm not a big fan of when people say something wrong, so if I ever can, I will point something out. Some people don't understand this really, though I know a lot of people do this also.

Partly because I like the feeling of doing so, and partly because I want them to know the truth.

[StudioUAC 62]

people just don't understand that I'm a special snowflake.

[vivishy 1,032]

I am really shy in person and probably won't make eye contact when talking to someone and some people think I can change that about myself easily but it's just so hard to look someone in the eyes.

[Thunder hooves 3]

I think many may not understand how complicated my brain is in terms of...well, everything. I have so many weird and odd aspects to my personality and how my thinking process works and I think that might be near impossible to understand, so I blame nobody for that. I am a strange and complicated guy. Like how I can feel anxiety for absolutely no reason and how that can start a strange self fueling spiral of bad moodyness. Then there are my very child-like aspects with my personality. 

 

I am just an overall hard to understand guy I think. I do try to make myself as clear as I can be though if possible.

Dude I understand perfectly what your going through buddy let me guess when you are watching youtube but then when you get interrupted by someone or your parents you start getting rude and negative at them and then when they take you off of the computer you start being mean and bring up the negative things about your parents

[Lucia 100]

(in real life) That just because I may look different, doesn't mean I am mentally retarded, and should be talked down to or treated like I am contagious. People seem to connect physical disability with 'oh, s/he must have the IQ of a toddler and is dumb'

[Nila Bean 133]

Some people tend to mistaken my confidence for up-tightness/vanity. I don't think I'm "better" then anyone, but  after years of working on improving my self-esteem, I'm finally feeling good about myself, and I am going show it  :grin2:. If people think that I'm trying to "outdo" them or "show off" (as some have told me before), that sounds like a personal issue they need to get fixed...

 

I also have a high case of baby fever, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna have one at this age 

[PonyWaifu 559]

People don't understand how i'm so good looking and watch a show for little girls.

[D1SC0RD 987]

Specifcally, asexuality. But more generically, how much I enjoy being alone.

 

I don't even have IRL friends anymore and I am happy like that. I pretty much keep everyone at an aquaintince level, where I could text them for help if I needed to or for whatever else. But I don't like hanging out with others and I love to just stay at home all day and do nothing. A lot of people don't really get it. But I'm happy, so I wish everyone else was okay with the way I am. Oh well. 

[Jesus H. Christ 1]

People don't understand how i'm so good looking and watch a show for little girls.

But aren't girls good looking?

 

People just can't understand that I am the Christ, Twilight Circuits in the flesh, Lord Steven Christ. There are good and bad aspects of government, and the good aspects of government will bring the seekers unto me, and punish the unbelievers. In the final days, they will be taken into bushels and bundles and burned, as part of their divine learning experience.

[Lunar Echo 10,335]

My love for other people.

[LittleMac 3,085]

No one understands why I watch TV with subtitles. Like, I don't have hearing problems, I just gotta have them there XD
