Changed line(s) 37,66 (click to see context) from:
* BerserkButton: I’m generally considered gentile and difficult to anger, but I do have a few of these. On this site, it’s almost any use of ThisTroper, AvertedTrope or {{Natter}}. In real life it tends to be poor punctuality, disloyalty and dishonesty. Quite a few more than that though, those are all I can be bothered listing however.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Due to the above, if I'm ever aggressive this trope quite often comes into play.
* BrilliantButLazy: Inertia is my biggest problem – I’m highly intelligent but can never be bothered doing anything with it.
* CloudCuckooLander: One of the traits I’m most famous for, though Asperger’s accounts for much of it.
* CountryMatters / ClusterFBomb / PrecisionFStrike: Let me say this clearly – if you’re offended by swearing, you’re a prude. End of discussion. Well not quite but I won’t hear arguments to it. Swear words are just combination of letters, much like any other words. There are many “four letter words”, and words in themselves are not offensive. ‘’Context’’ however is different. It might be a British/Scottish/Glaswegian thing, but I’ll happily call someone a cunt and mean it as a compliment. Fuck is the most versatile word in the English language and can be almost every word in a sentence if I want it to be. If I want to offend someone, I could add context to the word “shoe” and intend it as an insult, so the blanket opposition to swearing (except that in many contexts it ‘’is’’ meant offensively) bugs me.
* CrazyAwesome: My dancing. Insanely bad, insanely amusing, insanely energetic, and just insane. I genuinely couldn’t live without it however, as it’s how I release myself emotionally, so I’m wholly unapologetic.
* [[CuteClumsyGirl Cute Clumsy Guy]]: Subverted (and gender-flipped, obviously). I’m very very clumsy, but it’s neither cute nor endearing, being instead a source of extreme perpetual embarrassment for me.
* DeadPanSnarker: Very, very much so.
* DitzyGenius: My high intelligence notwithstanding, accidents of mine include the following: Punching myself in the head while putting my coat on, cutting my finger fairly badly while washing my hands, permanently scarring my thumb while using a can opener and smacking my head off a desk while reaching down to pick up a pen I’d dropped beneath it.
* {{Geek}}: The trait I’m best known for.
* {{Goth}}: * sigh* Somewhat kinda mostly played straight/subverted? I don’t fit the classical goth stereotype, but I do meet some of the “requirements”. I wear mostly black and blue, I listen to symphonic metal such as {{Nightwish}} and WithinTemptation, go to a punk/rock/metal club and am in Glasgow’s “alternative” community, plus many of my friends either are or used to be Goths. There’s also the issues with depression I’ve had (see below). Despite it all though to see me and hang out with me it just doesn’t seem logical to call me a goth!
* HatesBeingTouched: I’m quite paradoxical about this, in that I love to hug, but beyond that or handholding, unless [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean you’re in a certain situation with me]] you’d better not touch me.
* HeroicBSOD: I had a nervous breakdown two years ago, when I was 21. This left me completely incapacitated for about two months – I almost literally could do nothing but lie on the couch/bed and even walking 50 metres to the corner shop was impossible without falling to pieces. Playing this trope in real life? Really don’t recommend it.
* TheLancer: In group scenarios, I tend to naturally gravitate towards positions of leadership for some reason. It’s perhaps because I lack confidence however that I’m actually better in a proactive number two role, with freedom to make decisions and do things on my own without actually being completely in charge of everything.
* LoveDodecahedron: My ludicrously complicated social circle. The first girl I was seriously involved with “broke up” with me for a guy who was the ex of my two best friends. A year later that guy had had two further, separate, time distinct relationships with that girl and another with one of the other two. That’s by no means a notably complicated situation among us.
* NeverLiveItDown: Not quite “never”, but it took 6 years for my directly accusing SantaClaus of paedophilia in an exhibition debate my high school’s society put on about his existence during the holiday season to go away. Naturally, randomly (and very loudly) asking me if it’s true whenever I appeared became a frequent source of amusement for those present afterwards.
* OldShame: I used to be a very right-wing, [[BritishNewspapers Daily Fail-reading]] Tory. Having realised the err of my ways, I’ve since become exceedingly socially liberal, and am now an outspoken critic of everything rightwing. Economically I’m still Capitalist, but economical and social politics are very different things.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With several people actually. My best friend is as close to my sister as it’s possible to be without being a direct relation, though half the people we know used to think we’d end up married and many would probably still be delighted to see that happen. Also applies to another close friend, to the point where I kept inadvertently cock-blocking her because guys who liked her assumed that I was her boyfriend. Naturally given my easy tendencies towards this I’m often used as a fake boyfriend when my female friends want guys to stop hitting on them (this gets a bit uncomfortable when I’m trying to stare down guys built like brick shithouses admittedly).
* RaisedByWolves: Yeah, I have Aspergers’ Syndrome. Somehow it doesn’t actually stop me living a normal life, but it does without question impact on what/how/why I say and do things, so its quite important if you know me IRL that you know I have it, otherwise I’m likely to completely inadvertently piss you off. I’m one of those ones who asks you endlessly to just be straight up with me and not play games, and will probably assume that you’re not doing so at any given time ([[ProperlyParanoid this is frequently with good reason however, given my social circle is ridiculously complex and incredibly bitchy/underhanded]])
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Infrequently I’m prone to it.
* SmallReferencePools: I’m very fond of making random, pointless, meaningless references to anything and everything in normal conversation, from obscure song lyrics randomly inserted into what I’m saying, quoting units from video games, and even injokes that nobody but me could ever understand.
* TheSmartGuy: In a FiveManBand scenario, if I’m not TheLancer, I’m almost certainly the SmartGuy. Or quite possibly both.
* TheSnarkKnight: Me in a nutshell basically.
* SophisticatedAsHell: I love invoking SesquipedalianLoquaciousness then ending it with a PrecisionFStrike.
* StepfordSmiler: Type A. Denial is a coping mechanism for both Aspergers and depression, so I tend to abuse the ambiguity and relativity of the word "okay" when asked how I am. I also, however, flat out lie about how I am quite often as well as it's often simpler or more convenient to do so. Needless to say, that rather frustrates my friends, especially those who know me well enough to realise when I'm lying.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: I'm male. Apparently "Addy" is seen as more of a female name around these parts. Real name is Adam, some bizarrely swear by only one (both names have proponents) and some call me either. On the phone, I always come across as feminine. This gets annoying when people are trying to work out what they misheard "Adam" as, since that isn't a girl's name.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Zigzagged. I live in Glasgow (and intend doing so for the foreseeable) but am barely able/willing to hurt a fly…though when I do lose my temper, I lose it big time. It’s utterly terrifying to see, even though I’m always the biggest victim of such rampages. Online I lampshade, play straight, subvert and parody the trope depending on my mood – which frequently governs my level of tolerance for the utter fucktards who consist of 90% of the population of the internet. See my sig!
* TheWoobie: To most of my friends, and in school to my teachers as well.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Due to the above, if I'm ever aggressive this trope quite often comes into play.
