Things that annoy you.

[Rainbow Dash]

I love how you all are going "I hate when people whine about it, and now I'm going to compare it to something I actually have and prove how I'm better than everyone by not talking about it, except now, because it's okay to brag about it when I'm trying to prove how mature I am and whatnot."

Sorry but.... -facepalm-

And I'm not supposed to be irritated with the fact I can't be taken seriously anymore?

And I don't think it's "you all." It's just me.

People that use rude words on other sites. I've seen it on DA. Even one of the pictures had it *Shudder*

Also, people that post something disgusting on the drawing board *cough*Someone*cough*posted a picture of a dog 'pooing' Ugh.

You know what? It annoys me. What annoys me? How people are so frikkin rude on CS. How hard is it to be nice?

Where's the proof to that?

It seriously annoys me when my colored pencils are out of order. I will spend as much time as I have to rearranging them so that they are in rainbow order. All the shades of each color go lightest to darkest. Then the neutral colors - browns, blacks, greys, whites, go in rainbow order again. Like... reddish brown where red would go. Orangeish colors where orange would go. Like that. Someone takes out one and forgets to put it in the right place, I have to put it back.

OMG SAME HERE.
I spend a lot of time ordering my pencils into a perfect rainbow, then my dad messes it up somehow. SO ANNOYING.

People saying they're depressed only bugs me if they're using it as an excuse for bad behaviour, as in "I'm mean and horrible to everyone and will rip your head off if you say one wrong word or disagree with anything I say, but it's only because I'm DEPRESSED!" Saying it just to get attention is pretty annoying, too. >.<

Replace "depressed" with "bipolar" and I knew someone like that. Eventually, I just got so tired of her ending everything with "because I'm bipolar" I went "No, because you're a b**ch." That shut her up.

I'm Asperger's. Like diagnosed when I was... I think 9, Asperger's. I don't like bringing it up unless it's prompted or has a point (here, it does) because I get lumped with the morons who use it as an excuse to be... well, a moron.

Asperger's and other autistic-related disorders get dragged through the mud on the internet. There's one famous artist on DA who claims to have it and treats it like it's cancer to get pity and pity art. She draws her character bloody and crying BECAUSE SHE HAS ASPERGERS!!!1!

No. Just no. I'm 20, I've had it my whole life. And you know what? I got help for it. Sure, I may not know when I'm annoying you unless you tell me and social cues aren't my forte, but I've learned to control the negative aspects and magnify the positive aspects. Quite frankly, I think without it I wouldn't have all the gifts I do have. I learned how to survive "mainstream" schooling and I'm in college now working towards a major in a foreign language. I chose not to be dictated by a disorder, and now I'm succeeding. What's your excuse? Oh right. You have "Asperger's."

In short, just because you feel sad sometimes, doesn't mean you have depression. Just because you're happy sometimes and sad sometimes, doesn't mean you're bipolar. Just because you like things clean, doesn't mean you have OCD. And finally, just because you like anime and have no friends because you've driven off all human contact with your ability to be insufferably annoying, doesn't mean you have Asperger's or autism.

I've seen all four. The OCD one is the best example. This kid had to sit in the same chair every day. The same one. He will search the room for it and if someone is sitting in it, he will wait until you get up. THAT'S OCD. Not just "I like my desk clean, I HAVE OCD! LOL!"

Why no, this isn't a hotbutton issue with me at all. What makes you think that?

Sounds a lot like me. XD I was diagnosed as a young adult, so the window for a lot of the corrective therapy was already gone, but I work at it anyway and practice social cues, facial expressions, voice tones, etc. Fortunately I'm fascinated by psychology and human interaction, and I'm able to act 'normal' if I approach it purely in those terms (spontaneity is not for me, though, since I have to think through everything to make sure it's the appropriate response). My brother had a more severe case than mine, and he was diagnosed with Asperger's when he was about five or six I think. I take advantage of my Asperger's traits, and will probably be making my career based almost entirely on those traits (research librarian, hopefully). Spending my life filing things, finding obscure information and telling people all about anything they might ever want to know sounds about perfect to me. ^^

I've noticed a lot of people claiming to have it (both here and on DA and other sites), and a lot of the time they'll be talking about how they're like this because of Asperger's or do that because of Asperger's, and I just think "O.O I've never heard of those being Aspie traits... o.O *back away slowly and don't make any sudden moves*". It's the fashion now to have a mental disorder - almost everyone wants to be bipolar or depressed, because it's considered cool and edgy to be non-neurotypical. Of course, that buries all the people who genuinely do have disorders or need help under the sea of wannabes, so they don't want to say anything because they'll just be labeled as 'another attention-seeking fake emo kid'.

The OCD example sounds like most of the people in my university classes actually - people tend to sit in the same place all the time. One class I was in had only five people in it, and the room sat twenty, but we'd still all sit in exactly the same chairs every day. One of the guys liked to tease us about this, and he'd do stuff like sit in someone else's chair and refuse to move just to see what they did, or switch all the chairs around so people would have to hunt down 'their' chair among the nineteen other vacant chairs. XD

I do that, too, Capri - I also arranged my rock collection by colour and my bookshelf by the Dewey decimal system. ^^

Gahh, I know. The other day my brother had to borrow my huge box of colored pencils for some school project (without even asking me if it was okay. >.<) and then after taking them out, he just put them in random places. I was like DUDE YOU SCREWED IT UP and was practically twitching until I had enough time to rearrange em.

Mee tooo!

Also: When my bookshelf gets all messy because of my brothers borrowing my books. It takes forever to get them in the right order - alphabetically by author's name - and then my younger brother will go, grab a whole selection of books, go off and read them, then return them and just stick them in random places.
