in public

[Aquacorde]

How do you behave? Are there any quirks you have, or ways that you think about what's going on around you? Are there things you do intentionally around strangers, or subconsciously? Or do you not give a ****?

I've started to not give a **** about what passerby could think about me. I actually do a thing on purpose that like, if I'm on the phone or talking with friends, I won't pause the conversation or lower my voice for people going by. For one, I don't care. And for another, it's fun to know that people will hear just that one bit of whatever you're saying at the time. It could be something weird as hell and might make them smile, who knows. I like listening to other people. I'll pause my music or turn it down to listen to animated conversations going on ahead of me while walking or on the bus. It's fun to get a glimpse of other people's lives.

Depends on how I feel that day. If it's a good day then I don't care what others will say/think about me if I'm just walking around. I'll listen to music loudly or talk about random things with people and not care what others hear.

On the other hand, if it is a bad day I'll just want to get through the day with the minimal amount of talking. I've been told you can usually tell when I'm having an off day because I won't make eye contact, will barely make any noise, and will just walk off/put in headphones in the middle of a conversation.

I'm also kind of awkward around strangers or people I don't really know that well. I can't hold a conversation for crap. It has gotten better over the years but I still get those awkward pauses during conversations.

She does.

I behave a lot more erratically at home than I do when I'm out. It's not a conscious effort to "give a ****", it's more that I feel there's times to let your hair down so to speak, and let your weird side out. Then there's times where you actually need to go out and make a living, meet new clients, and give off the impression that there's a semblance of normality about you so you can buy some groceries.

I always dress nicely in public. I will never go outside in sweats.

I always feel like people are looking at me so I always end up feeling kinda stiff because I think I might look bummy if I'm slouching or sitting down in any awkward position. I sit up straight and just chill.

I'm usually very quiet and I'm only talkative if I am with a friend 1-on-1. The moment another person walks in to make it a 3-person conversation, I kinda get quiet again.

Okay that goes for me too. I hardly ever venture outside my home without at least a little bit of make up on, and never in sweatpants :p I think it looks so bad on people who do it and I don't want to look like them xD

It depends on the situation.

If I'm alone or in a place I'm not comfortable I'm extremely quiet for the most part. I don't make jokes, I don't talk too much, I watch my language, I don't share things about myself.

If I'm somewhere I feel comfortable though, or if I'm with people I get along extremely well with, I'm the guy making large numbers of sarcastic, dry or dirty jokes and acting like an idiot. I'll speak plenty, I'll give my opinion to anyone who brings up a topic I care about etc..

I'm autistic, so there's also the part where I don't always pick up on social cues, I don't do well with unfamiliar people or situation and I rarely look anyone in the eye. Possibly as a result of this though I really don't give a flying **** what the general public thinks of me. I try to behave respectably to a degree though, because I can't be bothered with the hassle of disapproving people.

As a side note, you will almost never see me outside the house wearing something other than trousers/jeans and a shirt with an funny (potentially insulting in some cases) slogan on it.

I give 0 fks when I go in public. I have this pair of Spongebob pajamas that I wear out on a cold day, and my awesome reindeer beanie I've been wearing because Christmas. That said I like to make sure my colors are complimentary and the clothes are comfy. :3

Sometimes, I do a lot of hand wringing in public. I've been doing it a little more than usual lately too. No one really seems to care or notice it. I try to behave somewhat like everyone else just because of society and stuff. I think it just comes natural to me.

As for attire, you're more likely to see me running around in tomboy clothing (t-shirts and track shorts) to pajama bottoms with known characters on them. Just today, I wore my Happy Bunny PJ bottoms to the VA with my dad. XD I also wear my Loki hoodie with my horns up as well, and I wear animal hats that have ears or faces on them... you'd be surprised the positive comments I get. A few times, people have gawked at me like "wtf", according to my mom. I don't really care because it's my life, not theirs.

It really depends in my mood. To be honest, I could careless about what I wear or how I act. If I have a meltdown in public, I just go ahead and do it because most times I can't help it. :/ I get a lot of ignorant people staring me down or calling me a brat because they don't really understand what's going on. D:

Crap given if people finds me weird or such? Same amount as the number of fans that the Dragonball motion picture got.....0.

I wear whatever I want, listen to people's conversations discreetly. Just name it.

Some people don't like wearing sweat pants in public, I don't know why but meh. I ALWAYS wear sweat pants, only time I don't wear sweat pants in public is when I go to school and I gotta wear my work pants since I study in mechanic and then I go to downtown with my girlfriend or friends afterwards (If I go back home to change, I wouldn't wanna go back out, it's a tiring day and I'd get lazy). I got this mudkip and panda winter hat that I would wear in public with no shame at all.

I wear whatever I want to please myself, not strangers.

I don't really care, I usually tend to either be quiet or loud depending on the mood I'm in. I'm not really extroverted though, more like just telling people things than really talking with them I guess.
