I'm really getting sick of this.

At school, everyone thinks my brother is mental. He has this thing, borderline, that makes him a little different. It's what made Einstien smart, and Edison. It's called Asbergus Syndrome, and it makes you less sociable then normal, and you form a lot of habits. Sometimes, actually quite often, it makes you extremely smart. I mean, Steve Carrel has it, and no one thinks he's mental, but that's because he's a celebrity. Most people don't know what it is, anyway :/

So anyway, because people think he's mental, and so now they think I'm mental. I have a totally different personality here and outside of public places like school. At school, I barely talk except for at lunch. At lunch I'm with my best friend and a bunch of other friends, and with them I can act normal. It's really unfair, I think, to judge people by there siblings. Even if your sibling isn't mental.

I have a lot of pressure on me. People are always giving me looks, I hate it. I want them to see that I'm not mental. In tech, a bunch of people think I am. I like this kid in my tech class: he's really cute, and funny. He, at least, doesn't think I am mental.

My friend and I are at the same table as them, and when we are working on our bridges (that's what we're doing in tech) we always seem to get into each others' conversations. He'll be talking to his friend, and we'll say something. I'll be talking to my friend, and he'll say something to us. He also makes me laugh, because all the time when I burn myself with the glue gun (AKA once every class >.>) he always makes a joke about it and I feel better.

I just don't want him to start thinking I'm mental, too. I really don't think he will, but anything is possible. It's a lot of pressure when everyone thinks you have problems. :/

Help please? D:​

 

Oh gosh.Become more social it might fix your probelm, show that you are different than your brother.
See I can't relate to you but, if they were nicer they would understand.If someone looks at you like that again say: "What?Bitchh."

Let me just tell you people don't look at me like that anymore.
I give out looks though.Bever to people liek you though.Only to asses, that think they are cool.Tell them to bug off.

 

I try to be sociable, but they don't say much. I always have nothing to say to start a conversation :/​

 

Then don't talk to them at all.Be mean to them back,If they want to make fun of you, they have to go through you first.

 

Yeah, but they don't do it to my face. I've caught them before, but they denied it :/

I want to just slap those b*tches :/

But then again, I shouldn't. Still, it's really getting on my nerves. I want to act myself, but I'd look bipolar. They think of me as this really quiet person when all of a sudden I'll be loud and sociable.

I just want them to see me when I act myself.​

 

Um.Maybe warm up to it?Talk a little more each day?
If catch them again tell them to stop.

 

Music, it's the best conversation starter ever invented, and if you dont get along, use it to ignore people, what i did for years.

 

I do the latter a lot XD

I like music a ton though, so I guess that would be a good coversation starter ._.

I can try.​

 

Besides music or talking, engage yourself in some other activity that would get your mind off of the people who seem to discriminate you.

 

Well Xaale, I don't want to sound mean when I say any of this but It's just what I'm thinking.

1. Your brother isn't any one of those people,though he can become a genius and have a large impact on our world one day.

2. Not everyone knows Syndrome's by heart,so they may think he's weird because they have no idea what that Syndrome does.And if they don't believe you,well remember,they're kids,most of us are STILL kids,so of course they'll be difficult and tease you and him.

but when they do,I'd brush off my shoulder..cause you gotta get that dirt off ya shoulder xD.

anyway..I don't think this helped,but if it did,I'm glad.

 

Hold on! What is 'mental'? Care to explain?

 

Like..messed up in the head..or silly,crazy,a real nut job.

 

Next time someone thinks he's mental, just say,"Well you would b the expert!" Also, I have Asbergus Syndrome. I'm not joking. WHy do you think I'm here so much. I have a special type that makes me less socialable. I just don't like hanging out with people, so I try to escpe the world. I also met a kid who was very jittery and wouldn't stop talking (he has asbergus). So yes, your brother could be mentally impared, but he could be like me and not.

 

She is saying she is shy-but she wants to say things to them like that.
But she can't, if she could, she would smack them so hard in the face it's not even funny"/.​

 

wow that sucks big time Xaale why not just tell them your not freckin mental ur perfectly fine and so is ur bro just tell them straight up and SHUT THE **** UP, i've seen alot of this kinda a stuff at my school and i get so pissed when some random kid talks behind my friends back... AH!! i just want to drop kick his ***!!!!​

 

Arent we humans lovely creatures?

 

i feel bad for you and your brother....some people can be so inmature sometimes.

well, there might be some way of showing your true colors at certain key situations.

Now, finding those key situations might be a little hard, i suggest you go one step at a time.

 

Well some people just grow their feeling about people because they don't know them. They don't know what your brother has so they judge him their own way. And since they make that assumption about your brother they assume the about you. All I can say is, maybe open up to a few more people. Let them know that you don't have any problems. Maybe talk to the principle or your school counseler about it too. Sorry, all I can say.

 

Personally, the best way to solve this problem would to just introduce yourself and crack a random joke. Laugh at yourself, and then maybe, you might think of a topic. Maybe ask them random questions as jokes, like what could be their favorite types of cheese, just to get more sociable, as Famous suggested before.

If people honestly think you are mental, well then, screw what they think. It isn't important to worry about. As for your brother, personally, a good talking would be advisable. Just tell him real quick that you can be different and you are different. Make sure not to sound like it is an offense, of course. xD​

 

Actually, I have Asperger's Syndrome, but I try to keep it a secret. And I'm fairly social, but I can't talk to any new people because it's awkward for me, which is also why I have trouble asking people out on dates. You, however, don't talk to others for different reasons than those like your brother and myself. And now, I have no idea where I'm going with this.....
Oh, um... Like Beat said, talk about music, or a movie that just came out. And you don't really have to be "friends" with them. Just talk to some people, and hell, you may even make a new friend or two.
