I hate not being able to just lamp people in the face like I could in secondary school. College is a lot less tolerable of smacking some creep around, even if he does deserve it.

I can try that. I have confronted him about it before, he just says stuff like 'Oh, you mean you don't like it?' or 'I ain't doing it on purpose. You're just irresistable' So, yeah, may do that tomorrow.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope that things turn out better for you.

I'm having a lot of fun imagining you dressed like this guy, jumping out from under staircases and whacking jerks.

Life sucks.
Humanity is a greedy, backstabbing, untrustworthy, rude, prejudiced, unintelligent, overbearing, gullible, and aggressive cancerous boil on the ass of existence and would be better off terminated.
The fact religions are still around says how dumb humanity is.
Humanity is just dumb.
I hate you all and I am tired of life.

I hate when you get into a heavy argument with someone and you make a valid point that would ordinarily end it right then and there.
But then everything you just said becomes completely irrelevant because they burst into tears.
Now, no matter what the circumstances, no matter how badly your were wronged, or how valid your point was at the time. YOU ARE THE BAD GUY NOW!
GRAAAAAWWWWW!!!! ....... squee..... squee..... squeeeeee.... squee

I hate the people in my 3rd period class. It's principles of business, but 3/4 of the people are a bunch of douchebags who took the class to goof off.
They spend EVERY FUCKING CLASS BULLYING THE HELL OUT OF ME. The teacher has yelled at them, fucking TALKED TO THEIR PARENTS, and they STILL don't leave me alone. They are the UNSTOPPABLE FORCE. I HATE IT.

Tell the fuckers to fuck the fuck off and that their mothers are two-bit fucks who'll do anal to just about everyone of their co-workers and their football coach. Also, tell them that they're repressing memories of their father sexually assaulting them. Also tell them that should they not stop, you'll call upon Hermes the Restrainer to make sure each and everyone of them gets raped. Make sure you mention defixiones so they know that you know your shit about the dark arts ^_^

I've tried yelling at them before. It doesn't work. And they tend to repeat everything I ever say and make fun of me for it.
Including a clever quote.
The other day, the teacher had been required to provide a bunch of forms providing services for kids between the ages of 2 and 17 with severe special needs. I finished my classwork early that day, so I decided to use the rest of the time to make up for lost sleep by putting my head down. Towards the end of class, much to my ire, the bastards had spread a whole bunch of forms all over the table, and 5 of them closest to me had one thing highlighted and my initials written on them.
I don't remember them all, but 2 offended me the most. "Aggression/Bullying" (YOU'RE THE FUCKING BULLIES, ASSHOLES!) and... "Toileting Problems."
I then proceeded to say "I hope one of the things on these forms is Intense Misanthropy, because I HATE YOU ALL."
They then started making fun of me for saying that that day and the next day.
And this is ONE DAY. Out of the WHOLE FUCKING YEAR.
I WANT TO KILL THEM ALL AND BURN THE FUCKING CORPSES ARARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

What I did in those situations was have absolutely no response whats ever and basically just glaze over my eyes and think about something else. It works most of the time because its no fun to make fun of someone who has no response.

Well, if I say nothing to them, they just pick something I've said in the past, even something I didn't even say to them (talking to someone else, or a joke I made once with one of the class projects), and run it into the fucking ground.
THEY NEVER STOP!!! NEVER!!! I mean, the teacher called their parents and that was 3 months ago and it didn't deter them at ALL!

Getting angry won't help it just gives them more reason to do it. People like provoking emotions in other people for some reason I never quite understood that. I seriously don't know what to tell you ask to be seated somewhere else and have like a blocker of people you like that the best I can tell you.

@CriticalQuit: Been there man 
. My school life was pretty much a disaster, in the end I caved in and got violent but i can honestly say everybody suffered as a result, the bullies, my friends, the teacher. If possible request a transfer to the same class but in a different group.
If that doesn't work it try getting to know the 1/4 of the class who aren't douchebags, theres safety in numbers, and I'm sure they've noticed what's being going on.

Well, since we kinda sit in a circle of sorts, and the only 3 people in the class who aren't insufferable are also very passive... I'm just going to have to suffer through it till I graduate in May.
I have Asperger's syndrome, so I've always been particularly vulnerable to bullying. Not reacting is difficult for me.

I have a very mild form of it, so I can imagine how it must feel for you. What you've described sucks.
Have you talked with your parents about this? Councillors and teachers at school?
Please, talk to a responsible adult about these feelings you're having. I wish I could help you some how... but all I can do is tell you that you're a pretty cool person, bullying is wrong, and also, you're going to find things much different in university (if that's the path you choose to take).

The weird thing is, half the people who used to really torment me (and i mean REALLY torment me), now casually approach me in the street and at work as if we were buddies or something. This has often led me to believe that they were in fact, for the most part oblivious to what they were doing, a result of mob mentality rather than true malicious behaviour.
Try to isolate one of them, and ask him why he does it to you, make it clear that what he's doing is hurtful but without being aggressive. He may be suprised to find out that you've been taking what he's been saying and doing to heart.
If nothing changes simply let the teacher know that it's still continuing, even if the school can't affect them directly, they can still keep and eye on you in class and give you someone to talk to when times are tough.
It can be difficult but the last thing you want to do is hold a grudge, that just means your sinking to their level.
From what I've seen your a nice guy, and by the sounds of it very enduring. Stay strong

Nah, their level of harrassment, while higher because of the mob mentality, is nothing I haven't dealt with before. And I can cope with it because I have a good number of good friends now. Back in 7th grade, literally everyone was against me. My only friend was my best friend, from the town I had lived in before 5th grade.
It sucks, but I have friends now, and I can cope with it quite easily once I leave the classroom. And my best friend from Columbia and I still keep in touch and do stuff every couple months
Thanks for the sympathy Starwatcher, but the horror is isolated and easily copable. And yes, I do plan on going to college.
Thank you two, Ucro, but no, I've known them as individuals, they're dicks at the center. The fact that they're in a group just mutliplies it. But as I said, I can now easily cope.

That actually sound like really bad advice to me, sure it might work for 9 year old kids, or maybe if the bullying is only a once off thing, but CriticalQuit is 17 and sounds like he is repeatedly being bullied, assuming the bullies in question are also around 17. At this age they would be fully aware that what they are doing is wrong, and approaching one like this will only earn you more criticism, not to mention that it would be near impossible to get one of them alone. Look at it this way Ucro, if a mob of people in your life began stalking you and threatening to bash your head in, and you could not go to the police, would you approach one of them alone and ask them kindly to stop?
I know how you feel though, for two years at school I became the target of bullying, luckily for me I was of athletic build and could beat most people at most sports earning myself a bit of respect, it was probably also reason why they would not normally get violent with me.
Now for some rage! I can't stand children being given special treatment when being caught for committing crime, a bloody 8 year old knows that it isn't alright to steal cars or bash someone, so why should a 15 year old get a reduced sentence for assault just because he is a minor?!?

I know what you mean, but with limited knowledge it's hard to discern the severity of the situation, But it is very hard to be aggressive to someone who is completely passive.
As I said I tried defending myself and that only made things dramaticly worse for everyone involved. I suppose in the end it's all down to individual experience and no two situations are going to be completely identical.
I get what your saying though, if they are being openly violent or aggressive approaching any one them directly would be a really bad move.
If it was just mental torment and not physical, you'd be suprised how often people overlook the severity of their actions, especially in their teens.

Hey! Starwatcher! The thing you said to do worked!
Immediate action was taken, and we were both called up to the headmistress's office, where she interogated the both of us
But, he's been packed off with a warning and has to write a letter of apology to me, if he does it again he's at the risk of expulsion. However, if they suspect me of lying (he managed to argue... Somehow... Saying it was accidental brushes etc. that i was exaggerating. Headmistress is smart though, so seems to be okay) i can also be given a warning and a week's worth of detention.
Thankyou for the help! I don't think I would have done that otherwise ^^ *hug*

Unfortunately for me, mine have strength in numbers, and the conscious knowledge that no matter what, they still get to me, so even ignoring them won't work. oh well, I'm still pretty well off!

When i was bullied, nothing the teachers could do would stop it, they were still racist, chauvanist bastards, insulting them, yelling at them, telling then to stop, standing up for myself didn't work, or anything people tried to tell me to do. Eventually the people left school. That's how i dealt with it. I also buried myself in Pokemon and Zelda stuff. Distraction techniques helped. So, I guess you'll have to stick it out, unfortunately it isn't good advice, but their satisfaction is knowing that it gets to you. A thing my mum used to tell me was to write everything down they said at the time they said it and hand it in to the teacher, so they knew EXACTLY what happened. This sort of worked the most...
Hmm, i think i posted without any advice... Bullying is a tricky situation that has to be dealt with by yourself. Annoyingly.

You know what always helped me? Finding friends. I have friends IRL, but finding places like this forum community or online games is a good place to take refuge.
I only joined the forums a couple weeks ago but I've already found some pretty good friends on here

@Luminaria - I'm very happy to hear that things worked out for you!
@CriticalQuit - Things will start looking up when you're in college. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but at the university I'm at theres an extreme social stigma towards bullying, from what I've observed it's the exact opposite of high school.
Anyways, from what you've told us you don't have that much longer to wait. Stay strong in the meanwhile, you've got friends in the real world and here to talk to.
And by the way... you can rest assured that people with aggressive bully like attitudes don't do well in the (mostly cooperative) environment that you find in college. Colleges also act as filters, keeping the ones who spend their time hurting others out.

RANT #3: I hate it when people use their slight disability to get out of something to be kept from getting in trouble. Although I don't see this anywhere, it still agitates the piss out of me. Frankly Depression is considered a disability. I should be able to get out of doing hard work, paying taxes, and I shouldn't be able to get in trouble. With this achievement, now I can be the asshat who can hit people in the stomach, call people names, skip projects and maybe some school, and laugh at others like an ass because I am one.
The kinds of disability I mean is like ADD or ADHD. Even severe depression.

A friend of mine once knew a blind man who would grope other guys and try to get away with it, by grope I don't mean the whole "let me feel your face so I know what you look like...oh now let me feel your neck...etc", I mean he would "accidentally" bump into someone (or some other terrible excuse) and just grab a handful of crouch while he was at it. Apparently no one likes to hit a blind guy no matter the reason.

Apoc has moderate Asperger's syndrome. Nice little cluster we have here.
I share a few of the traits as well, though I'm hardly about to start diagnosing myself. You know what they say, if you only have a few of the characteristics, that just makes you a bit quirky.
Back on topic: I hate people who post irrelevant or unhelpful things in forums for serious discussion. Though normally I just ignore them altogether and let the mods/admins clean up.

I agree. It makes me different, and the way I am has earned me some excellent close friends, ones who actually genuinely like me.
And wacko? I hate that too. I feel an obligation to crush those people, usually. Internet paladin instincts

I hate when people try to make everything a competition. I have a friend who never stops doing this and it's driving me insane. I play guitar for 1-2 hours a day, he plays ALL day. I start working out and don't feel any need to advertise it to the world, he starts working and suddenly everything is about working out and how much he does it. Of course it's really good practice for learning how to flip shit around on people real fast like.
- #137
- 10 February 2011 - 09:53 PM
The funny thing is, I've never been able to get competitive people. I don't take any pleasure in outdoing others, for some reason I just never have. Is this a feeling that people with aspergers tend to have?
I mean, I can see how it's a useful thing in some cases, I just choose not to engage in it because I don't enjoy it. It's not just that losing feels bad, winning feels bad as well because someone necessarily had to lose.
What I do enjoy is when I can work with a group of people and we can team up to solve a problem. We're running an astronomy research group that works this way... everyone cooperates to a common goal. It feels good to work together.
Back on topic: I kind of eluded to this before, but I hate bullies.

I rage when someone calls something that I don't get obvious. Obvious means "immediately apparent", and if it truly were, then it would be immediately apparent to everyone, myself included!
This causes me to hate using the word obvious... it's either trivially true, carrying no useful information, or insulting to the people you're saying it to.

Seems many with aspergers syndrome don't have much of a competitive spirit to them.
I could probably go on forever as to why, but that doesn't seem necessary.
I'm personally prefer to do things on my own. Of course team work has it's place, I'm just a generally weird guy, so while I can pretty much get along with anyone (even assholes), I sometimes have to try too hard to do it. I don't mind working with my friends, because they're weird with me, but other, less raunchy people, I'm very self-conscious of everything I say or do. I also pick up on everything they say or do, so it's very stressful to simply make small talk when I don't really know someone. The exact reason I generally stay away from IRC's and RC.
As for bullying... I didn't post on it before because I as well hate it with a passion. Luckily, I've developed an "image" that scares most people away, and I've often been described as intimidating. Not to mention my bipolar nature, tendency to scream, and the fact all of my friends look just as fucked as me. If it wasn't for that, I would most likely be expelled or in jail. The racial set up at my school puts me at a large disadvantage, so chances are I would have probably snapped by now.

Why the heck can't we all just get along... we could build and do so many amazing things if we'd just stop hurting each other. 
How is it someone can do something, knowing that it's hurting someone else? It just doesn't compute!

I would say the three biggest reasons are self-esteem issues, insecurity, and greed. In the end though, it all comes down to selfishness.
A good example would be my friend. When I had said I couldn't stand it when he would launder every little thing he did over me, in the end, all he is doing is trying to validate his own existence. All he really wants to hear is 'good job'. That way, he can go to sleep at night, not thinking to himself "Wow, I suck." Then we could look at why I get so bothered by it. Probably because I'm insecure about myself, and to see someone do so much better then me makes me feel worse and MORE insecure, because then I feel lazy and worthless. The exact feeling he was trying to avoid.
That doesn't really sum up bullies very much, but I'm trying not to rabble to much.

I meant something that I agree it was obvious, after I got it
But, true, I dislike what you described as well
I rage when I'm playing a game for some time without saving, and suddenly there's a short blackout (I didn't have the right English terms) and I end up losing my 2~3 hours progress.

I hate it when I'm driving and people pull out in front of you real quick then take their sweet time to speed up, it happened to me twice today.

I hate when people maintain a constant speed 10 miles under the limit, when traffic isn't TOO bad and weather conditions are sunny and nonthreatening.
Going exactly the speed limit is fine, but when someone's going 35 in a 50 miles per hour zone in front of me, I get pissed off.

come drive around Atlanta for a bit.
posted limit 55? fuck that its RACE NIGHT
the cops won't pull you over on the connector or freeways unless you're going >20 over, because otherwise you just blend in
That being said, I hate in when a cop picks you out of 50 cars all going the same speed to give you a ticket

I'll have to do some driving next time we visit the family we have in Savannah. Not quite Atlanta but close.
I don't like going TOO fast. I prefer to safely hover between 5 and 10 over the limit. But going too slow when it's not dark, not raining, and not icy just pisses me off.
