Hey, lay off the awkward types. There's a lot of pressure to be social when you're naturally introverted. It causes anxiety and isn't fun to deal with.

They've, to a one, been deep, fascinating individuals who just take a little bit longer to get to know than most others.

Again, if he just cares about awkwardness in a chart, why would he bring her up as he doesn't have hers. Why would he bring up that she possibly has down syndrome. Sounds like a right creep to me.[/B][/QUOTE]

Wow you took every single word and blew it out of proportion. She's obviously not stupid to be in my class, she's a good artist. Just because someone is socially awkward does not make them retarded. I really do not understand why I would bash someone on an astrology forum. Get real.. If I wanted to make fun of someone I would do it with people I know in real life. I guess I need to sugar coat everything. I never called her a loser or anything.

My cousin has down syndrome, hes very capable of everything. Hes goes to school he can articulate. Thankfully his case is not as bad. You don't even know me...... Oh and the fact that you think some one with asperges is retard made me laugh. Thats the connection you made right?
Someone with Aspergers obviously means retarded. See what I did there? You obviously did not mean that...

What kind of comments did you expect me to get, "Oooo shes so weird and your so cool for pointing out" lol??? I actually wanted to understand her. Maybe other people can relate to her, I can. Maybe she has some aspects which could explain her behavior. I think my teacher wanted to losen her up. Which is understandable. So for the last time..

I personally believe you - when you say you weren't trying to bash her. But your post was not very tactful. It's not always what you say. It's also the way you say it!

Yeah I don't sugar coat anything... ever. I just stated what I saw. I can seem harsh.... I know :P I was almost doing a psyche examination. I'm interested in psychology human behaviors. I don't know whether she has a condition or not Just from my person experiences. I was also really tired when I wrote that. So I can see some things that do not make any sense :P

I'm very different to you when it comes to this... But I'm not sure how to explain it exactly.
If you don't have much water in your chart you might not understand where I'm coming from... I usually get vibes from other people - and if I get a bad vibe/feeling about someone, I would rather stir clear of them.
This can be a person who is not at all overtly nasty or confrontational.. but there might still be things about them that make me uncomfortable.
When I say this I completely realise that it is usually more about the interaction between us - we simply don't click - and this does not mean they are a bad person. It just means from my perspective - they are not MY kind of person. The people I know who have more air in their chart - will continue *trying* to get along, even when things are not working. This is something I couldn't actually DO, even if I wanted to. I just don't have it in me.

Thanks lol I don't want to sound like I'm getting on a high horse. With all my Neptunian influence I can have respect for everyone and I can care about everyone, but that doesn't mean I will *like* interacting with everyone.
And when something doesn't feel *right*, because for whatever reason we are not 'in sync'... I see no reason why I should have to pretend to be all 'buddy buddy'.

Look at this logic: What if we throw out possible aspects or placements for being awkward; what does he have to reference? He doesn't even know her, and he doesn't have her chart.
That alone sealed the deal for me in his intentions here. He just wanted to blow off steam and demean her in an arena where she wouldn't be able to respond. I'd like to see him say to her face, "I don't know if you have aspergers (sp) or down syndrome or what, but you are so awkward, and you make me feel so uncomfortable, can't you tell that you just are so weird." Or something to that effect. My bet is on him NOT saying that. Instead we get to hear about it by being duped into this disparaging thread.
Seals the deal on creep to me.
And anyone who calls someone as possibly having down syndrome because they look awkward is just talking out of their ass right there.[/B][/QUOTE]

My impression is that he finds her attractive and this is why he is so curious. Because he just mentioned her being really pretty..... (lol GemSquared I'm so onto you)

Just...just shut it down, both sides. >:l Like, he can admit how he said it was wrong, yeah? Now let's deal with the topic of what could make someone a little awkward or whatever this thread is about.

"creep"?

I think it would make GeminiSquared or anyone else a creep if you walk up to a random classmate that you don't know, and seldom talk to and be like "hey...can I get your time of birth, birthdate, and where you were born so I can make you an astrology chart?"...what if she doesn't even believe in Astrology? I mean....if someone did that, I would be ****** as hell. THAT is creepy.

I fail to see how he had bad intentions. How can you just assume he has bad intentions when he is a random stranger to you, asking a question on a forum that is benign? He can't have her chart info, if he can't have her birthdate, etc. and asking that to someone you don't know would be awkward, and weird.

Where, and how did he imply that she is retarded, has down's syndrome, or is an aspie? If we're going to make assumptions, back it up with facts...aka quoting where he "supposedly" said this. Feelings don't mean **** in an argument.

He's simply asking how social awkwardness could play out in astrology...like placements or aspects, because a classmate that is awkward fascinates him, and he feels that she is lonely. And he wants to reach out to her.

Yeah, maybe it could be said that he wasn't tactful enough, but nothing about what he was saying was mean, or malicious or creepy.
