I have always done this. T says it's my way of getting attention. Sometimes people get angry at me in a way that doesn't seem fair, and seems to exclude other people who are doing the same thing or who started the annoyance. Maybe it's because I have a history so they single me out. Anyway I just wish I was never born so I wouldn't have to deal with all this.

I like seeing your funny posts on here. It's a nice note of lightness amongst everyone's problems.

I am a bit like this, as my wife says I always go that little bit too far...

I like to think it is amusing, but apparently it is not.

You don't annoy me.
I am glad you are expressing your thoughts and feelings. Keep doing it.

Have you ever thought about the things you say to anger people? Is there a pattern that you can identify? If there is, you may think about altering that pattern so that you can relate to people a little better. Maybe in turn people will relate to you.

maybe you are sarcastic? i love sarcasm. does that push them away, you seem tome to be fine i know you don't think so yourself as you said but keep up with the good humor.

IT, I don't perceive your behavior at PC as annoying. What do you think is the difference between your on-line behavior and your 3D behavior?

If your T says you are seeking attention, is there another way you could get attention that would not annoy people?

I don't know if this will be of any help to you. I have a very dear friend who is a wonderful caring person. BUT his sense of humor stopped developing about the time he was 12. Plus he does not seem to know when to quit. He will keep going on with a 12 year old's sense of humor and just keep pushing it until people get mad. He seems to be truly unaware that he's crossed a line and gone too far. Could something like that be happening for you?

I'm totally different in 3d, very shy, except with family where I am sometimes silly and make inappropriate comments.

Probably not as well, being silly seems to be the best way. I just feel bored in social situations so I blurt things out.

It's possible, all my sense of humour seems to be of about that age too. Some of it is also a bit dark but it's still childish.

Sarcasm is covert aggression.

Some people will think you are a genius, others will think you are the opposite.

You might need to think more about saying certain things around certain people. It's a normal part of maturing. Think before you speak so as not to be offensive. But do not lose your sense of humor. Laughter is so important in life. Sarcasm has it's place, but so does being serious. If someone doesn't get your sense of humor, don't worry about it. It's their loss.

Hey Illegal, I look forward to your annoyance. The world is way too bland with people who are beaten into polite submission. I hope more annoyances get born, raised and thrive despite obstacles. Are the people who point to you as the problem just bullies? Or opportunists who stir the pot and wait for you to hop in? That says something about them, as well as you. Maybe set a goal you will ignore half the provocations. See how that feels personally and interpersonally. But I like you as do others on PC

People usually don't get annoyed at a little bit of anything....that's why many times people out in the world can tolerate a lot more than those living around us because some times annoyance to those behaviors build up & then like that glass that's really full....one drop more & it spills over.

Also the way it is if you keep up annoying behavior for any length of time with other people also.....there is certain behavior that is more difficult to tolerate than others......

My H pushed every possible button that existed constantly but then he was totally unaware of how he interfaced with people. There were times when he would say something & he was the only one laughing at himself.....no one else thought he was funny. It was those things that helped me understand what I had been living with all those years however. Some people don't have the ability to be sensitive or aware of how to interact with those around them & it ends up not being something they are capable of learning like most do as a part of growing up.

If you can become more aware of what it is that's annoying people then you can learn from it. It may not just be for attention.....but then again.....it's not always easy to tell.
