I don't know how to explain it. Trying to act extroverted while being completely socially awkward is a huge part of it.

A lot of them seem to be overly sensitive to criticism of their niche interests, for example. Pic related definitely makes me think of an autistic person.

There also other common off-putting traits among them– a lack of hygiene skills seems to be fairly widespread.

Overall, I think spergs could use their analytical skills to help them navigate social situations a lot better than they usually do. A lot of them don't seem to realize how annoying they can be, though.

Schizophrenics, and I am one.

Every time I've ever gone to a support group I have been lucky to escape alive, and usually not without mental and physical scars.

All of us are violent psychopathic murderers. Several have chased me home until the police get involved, and then the police try to kill me just as much as they do.

Schizophrenics are a threat to society. I'd off myself to contribute to the solution if I could.

Again, something I can't believe. What makes schizophrenics dangerous is that the fear forces them to do it. Everything is out for you, everything wants you splattered on the windows. It's self defense, right? Obviously, to them, and so they kill anyone who gets too close.

Just enough to make it seem reasonable, or the only course of action. If you're more durable to it, good on you, but I can't trust anyone when I could be killed by anyone at any time and all they have to say is that I am schiz and I looked threatening to get off without even a trial.

Where are the most reliable sources? I don't feel like trawling through boring academic essays on Google scholar though, and I don't know anybody in the psychology field that is willing to talk to me about anything let alone that. Two years ago, I got drunk and tried to chat up some girl (which never happens unless I'm drunk) and she happened to be studying psychology. In a cheesy attempt to start an interesting discussion I said 'can you tell me how messed up I am?' and she just said it'd be better if she didn't say. Maybe she was just fucking with me and a part of me thinks all this stuff about borderline personality disorder, split personality, psycho and whatever is just pure pseudoscience dreamt up as a money-making scam.

But what I end up with most often, and what drives me most insane… is borderlines. I keep fucking meeting them, I keep fucking falling right into their trap. The most damaging relationships I've been in have all been with Borderline women.

> Bipolar
I can deal with someone being depressed, or a little crazy. Not swinging wildly between both.
My ex was bipolar. It was like dating two different people; one of which loved me, while the other loved hurting me. Eventually, she had to go to stop me killing myself, and the depression's been lifting ever since.

> Narcissism

Jesus fucking christ, the histronics they pull. Special snowflake everywhere, no acceptance of criticism, no tolerance for 'I fucking told you so' or general banter. Fell in and out with one a while ago, over the course of a couple of years. Fine at first, but then their girlfriend discovered the narcissism, and set off a shitstorm.
Their new girlfriend has been forbidden from talking to me, because we get on so well. Mostly because I treat her better than he does.
What a cunt.

> Trannies

No problem with people BEING transgender, but some of them are really fucking intolerable. Between the dysphoria and the hormonal fuckery, they're batshit insane and barely civil. Fuck that.

> Normal people

I have aspergers. Normal people annoy the SHIT out of me with their bullshit rules that they don't even follow half the time. And the constant prying. And the emotional bullshit thrown at me. And the expecting me to drop everything to help them.
The FUCK is wrong with people? You tell me to do something, I'll do it. Don't expect me to carry on a goddamn conversation at the same time.
And, y'know, I try hard to remember who you people are, what you like/dislike, etc. Do they show the same courtesy to me or each other? Of course not. But should I slip up, there's hell to pay.
Fuck neurotypicals.

> Teenagers

Dated one once. He was useless. Had no idea of how much effort doing things for him involved, or why he was expected to actually do anything.
Dropped him after I drove 8 hours on the promise of DnD, sex, and cuddling. I got half a party with him distracted most of the time, no sex, not even a goddamn hug, and nearly froze to death because his idiot housemates didn't put money in the heating.
I left early and never talked to the little shit again. Never dealing with teenagers again.

Cluster B personalities, especially Narcissists and Borderlines. Can't stand them. I've been in some online communities filled with fucking Narcissists and Borderlines, their anon boards are a warzone. Have to wonder why they keep going back when every conversation is two overemotional contrarians trying to one-up the other.

Anyway. Spergs who lack self-awareness can also be pretty bad, but at least they're not usually harmful, just kind of embarassing. I'm thinking not-quite-chrischan tier here.

Totally agree. I'm trans myself and can't deal with 90% of trans people. They're mean, they're rude and are a lot of times fucking psychotic. How the fuck is it that I, a schizotypal transgirl is more well put together than these people who being trans is their only issue? I don't get it.

Agree again. So many people try to talk to me and when I tell them I'm not a talker and just like to stay to myself they think they need to cure that. Like no, fuck off. I don't need to be cured.

>>243
Um no. That's so fucked up in so many ways. Schizophrenics don't just become amnesic or retarded, they will remember you idiot.

Oh and to all the schizotypal or schizoid people here, remember that its not a disease unique from schizophrenia; it likely works the same way, it's just milder. It's on a low end of the spectrum.

But I feel like schizotypal and schizoid shouldn't be diagnosed because most cases are prodromal and actually progress into schizophrenia. Just a heads up.

It's not just one illness. I just don't feel comfortable around other people with mental illnesses IRL. Waiting in the waiting room for services is always uncomfortable for me, and group therapy is right out for me. Pretty much all my life, I've been led to believe that people with mental illnesses (including myself) are degenerate rejects who have no place in society and need to be corralled off for the greater good. And a lot of times, I find the people who believe this to be right, seeing all the weirdos, junkies, perverts, spastics, tweeks, autists and retards that I'm apparently lumped in with.

Definitely this. I was diagnosed with Asperger's as a kid, and I clearly showed the signs, but I learned to act like a normal human being to an extent. Sure, I stumble on my words and don't look people in the eye too often, but at least I resemble a functioning (if not aloof) adult.

But then you've got the ones who lack the self-awareness to learn to function properly. I've got a coworker like this who's aggravating to be around. He whispers to himself, occasionally even sings to himself, draws like a 12-year-old from Deviantart, doesn't shave, gets in people's space all the time… the list just goes on.

When I encounter people like this, all I can think is that I'm very thankful for whatever kept me from turning out like them.

>A lot of them don't seem to realize how annoying they can be

Well no shit, that's kind of the definition of aspergers. Most are incapable of intuiting social cues and facial expressions. They can't register that they're annoying someone without being told so. And then they don't really have anything to talk about besides their obsessions and trying to understand the interpersonal relationships of other people is like trying to plumb the innermost thoughts of an earthworm and they just can't fucking get it without turning it into some fucked up flowchart in their head. Which kind of ruins the joy of connecting with other people, so they just give up.

You may have better social functioning than others on the autism spectrum and/or maybe have the benefit of more or better therapy than some receive.

OR you actually are just as annoying to the people around you, just in a different way from the cringe inducing weeb and related stereotypes, and are totally oblivious to it because you're fucking autistic and everyone but you is too polite to say it to your face. But blaming autists for being bad at socializing is like blaming an asthmatic for not being able to breathe.

Being the unasertive cunt that I was in high school, I ended up becoming 'friends' with this kid with asbergers and borderline. He was obsessed with the military and was always pretty violent to everyone. It was the worst 3 years of my school life, because he wouldn't let me sit with any other people from school. I lost most of my other friends. He eventually left my school and went on to become a flaming bisexual anime nerd. I blocked him on facebook as soon as he left. I really hope he is in a shit place right now.

Another type of person who I cant tollerate was this one guy I met. He was a gay sociopathic prostitute. he got kicked out of his parents house apparently because he is gay. He moved in with some friends that I know. Two girls under 18 (at the time) living with their parents. He starts going out and having sex with old men to pay for his md (speed) addiction. Also he was pretty narcisistic and anoying. Last time I saw him he was homeless.

>>2785
I like how you've essentially degenerated, while trying to present the trappings of a cogent set of arguments/facts, to archetypicalizing the autist as some kind of rote soulless automaton robotic human meat calculating environment-fetishist. Race realists were critisized in the 20th century for underestimating Asians in the same manner, and new research dispels characteristics once ascribed to that group. Even more disturbing is the absolutist nature of your rhetoric which appears to convey a certain autism in itself; stating the incapability without qualifiers (and no, you don't get to categorically relegate the autist when your only experience is probably qua a tard rangler); crediting the autist with no capacity to produce spontaneous speech (reeks of the 'all autistics are akin to computers' statement by Temple Grandin's mother); asserting the idea of the autist as a mind-blind being when it's not exactly as if neurotypicals are exactly cogniziant enough to intuit into the (frankly superior) systematizing processes of the hypermale autist, thus rendering irrelevant the contextual mores of a broken social fabric. That you trivialize such a process to being a mere 'flowchart' is exemplary of the kind of neurological femininity of the neurotypical condition that can't separate the wood from the trees. Then you deny all implication of yourself in contributing to the process of autistic alienation; when in reality, the autist's frustration at neurotypical provocation is far from a voluntary resignation from social life. I'm not even going to ask why you're so conceited in your condescension.

I know that your strawman of all autistics as mellable tabula rasas that can only be 'saved' by the benevolent magnanimancy of the oh-so empathetic neurotypical's psychiatric abuse apparatus is motivated by spite rather than the slightest of personal observation, let alone anything of 'science' outside of the confines of Tony Attwood or Donna William's hubristic ramblings, but it just goes to illustrate, very conveniently for us, the tendency of the neurotypical to cloud his judgment with petty sentiment.

As for your case I just don't think paranoia is a bad thing. Better trust to little than too much. I guess I can just relate to it myself.

As for the Schizoids, I've talked to a lot of Schizoids and we seem to overarchingly be decent people. Obviously I am more than a little biased in this regard.

As for the other two, I cannot relate to them but I understand what it might be like. I can see where they're coming from and why they do what they do, if you will.

Trust me, paranoia is a fucking awful thing. Paranoia isn't paranoia if it has limits and rationale. Being paranoid means living in a horror film. It means your brain is endlessly fantasizing beyond your control in the myriad ways in which you will die or be harmed horribly and being unable to shake those "what if" scenarios from your head no matter how laughably absurd. You end up spending all your energy trying to fight the fear, avoiding things that set you off which could be virtually everything in your life and things you really really need to do, or appending so much ritual just to feel even a little safer and end up not really getting anything done because of it, and it all just piles on you until you end up broken, huddled in a corner rocking back and forth convinced you're going to die. It is the worst anxiety I can imagine a person experiencing short of actually dying.

Do you mean people who actually have real diagnosed autism, or do you just mean socially awkward obsessive people in general whom the 4chan-Reddit community labels "autists"?

Anyway, for me, I cannot tolerate people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It rarely ever gets diagnosed, since the narcissists do not perceive anything to be wrong mentally and thus do not seek out help for it.

What irritates me specifically about them is well… fairly obvious. Having to talk to or work with someone who is only concerned with themselves or things related to themselves is just annoying to say the least.

Other more specific things that irritate me about narcissists is how little interest they take in things like history of any kind. Older movies, past wars, older music, even current events; they just give zero damns if none of it involved them. They never seem to want to talk about anything other than themselves or gossip about the people they know, and all of that is so boring and petty to me.

The way they raise their children irritates the hell out of me too. A good parent to me is one who shares their interests and love with their children, like a friend. The narcissist treats a child in a way more akin to how we treat potted plants or appliances, and it shows.

You can call me an ignorant bigot for that, but I have tried sympathizing with these people before. I cannot really find a way to do so beyond the old default unconditional sympathy for another human being, which only goes so far.

There's a difference between a narcissist and narcissistic personality disorder. A plain old narcissist is just kind of a douchebag. But being full of yourself isn't inherently pathological. For it to be the personality disorder, the narcissism has to be a front the patient puts on because of a deep seated resentment towards themselves or a terrible inferiority complex that causes them great stress. The irony is that such a "narcissist" is actually so concerned about other people that they go through painstaking farce to maintain a perceived appearance of being confident. It's all about the illusion to make other people comfortable with them, not so much to be comfortable with themselves.

Fear is more often than not paralyzing. If you think you're about to die and there is very slim chance of you doing anything to improve the situation, your brain "plays dead". It works sometimes. Take a soldier who is overrun by enemies. Instead of fighting he's paralyzed by fear, and when the battle has ended he's still alive and eventually gets extracted. It's a very efficient tactic, otherwise we wouldn't have it. The judicial system is aware of this.

But hey, it's you again and there's no reasoning you out of the "stopped clock" thing. I just don't want to see you scared and feeling terrible because of that shitty disease.

I have noticed a lot of teenagers do that, putting up the "I don't give a shit" front to seem all tough and confident. It gets old very quickly, and sometimes they never grow out of it. And of course the internet and especially image boards are full of people still doing this.

Oh and then there is that taboo for males in the west that caring about another human being is somehow "gay", which probably does not help, but thankfully that seems to be diminishing now.

You keep running into borderlines because your standards are too low. I take it you're the type to rush into things, maybe the type of person to believe in "love at first sight" or floored by a woman lavishing you with praise and attention. Borderlines have a tendency to get people with low self esteem attached to them because of their impulsive energy and splitting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_%28psychology%29). They'll rapidly fall in love with a relative stranger and think nothing but the best of them until they actually find out you're a human being and not a caricature that represents all their desires and then treat you like you murdered that ideal that only existed in their head, making you worse than Hitler. If you have this much experience with borderlines and crazies in general you really ought to be able to pick up on their traits by now. Borderlines aren't often the most subtle people. "Bunch of menstruating chimps seeing who can eat the most tampons" isn't too hyperbolic honestly. Even a lot of therapists refuse to treat them.

Do you have paranoid personality disorder? Because what you described there sounded like something else, though I guess it can vary from person to person how it is. But not everyone have it as extreme as you described.
Mine is that I have huge trust issues with people, I develop grudges against people really easily, I have some conspiracy theories(though I never share em) and I'm really suspicious against other people, and their motives.
So it's really nothing like you described it. It can be a bother, but not nearly as bad as you think it is.

In my experience, trusting too much will get you hurt, but if you don't trust you'll be left out and that is a dull pain you can't do anything about.

Schizoids seem nice. I think I've noticed one. I don't know how to approach him, but he seems to have made eye contact with me, and it actually felt really okay. I think he noticed how nervous I am and he probably thinks I'm okay too.

My advice would be to let him approach you rather than you going first. I can't speak for all Schizoids but that's what I'd personally prefer.

If you do end up talking to him, the golden rule for nonschizoid-schizoid interaction is to judge him by what he says, not by how he says it.

Narcissists

Psycho/sociopaths

And sometimes severely depressed folk who can only talk about how awful they see themselves.

But what I hate most is when mentally ill people use their illness as a sort of "Get out of jail free" card(unless they are suffering from legitimate retardation, then I can understand as they have no conscious control.)

A lot of autistic folks will continue being rude and when I remind them that they are being a dick, they sometimes just say "Oh I'm autistic/have aspergers, I can't help it" which makes my blood boil. If you are consciously aware of the issue, then could you at least try and overcome it? It's called an illness for a reason, not a personality type.
