Is it normal people think i am on drugs when i'm not?

Often people will think that I am intoxicated when I am not. The most common substances people think I'm on is meth and alcohol. I do drink and smoke pot, but I don't do other drugs and I'm sober when people think I'm not. Some comments I get are "You were so wasted" or "That guy is way too high to be here" or "I've never seen you sober" etc. I've heard that people think I am a tweaker even though I do not do meth at all. Is it just me or do most people get accused of being on drugs?

    Often I feel intoxicated when not and end up with accusations but there has also been times when I have been sober but not felt "off" yet been accused of being high. I had called my mother once after over a year of no contact and she suggested I was high. I hung up. I was not high and was pretty hurt by the accusation.

Multiple occurences augmenting my atypicality occured thereafter...<BR>I met my hippie mother 4 the first time in 1985(I was 18) and saw the path of the hippie &amp; liked it! I met uncle Cid in SF in 82, &amp; since that october day I've ingested well better than 5000 hits. I have been in a situation of PPPD(post psychedelic perceptual disorder) since the year of 85 also.<BR><BR>Pretty groovie year if U asque me!<BR><BR>By the way, my name is Timothy <BR><BR>:o)(o:

    I thought this was my morning meal. The world needs more fabulous oddballs like you. Seriously if I saw a dude with kitty laces in his boots i'd run up and high five him as hard as I could.

    Sucks though. Once I was taken from math class into a special anti-drug seminar. I'm completely sober by the way. They thought I must use because I'm pretty eccentric and I joked about drug use every five minutes with my friend.

    Funny though, because it turned out my friend reported me so we could get out of class or something :-)

    Yeah. I don't think you should abuse either of the two drugs. Maybe people are just more likely to think someone who smokes pot is high all the time. It's like when you tell parents you have give a child sugar (when you haven't) theybtend to report how extra hyper their kids were. I think it could just be like a placebo effect on how others look at you.

      no, but I have aspergers and schizoaffective.
      People with cerebral palsy usually have an obvious developmental disorder that would be hard to mistake for drug use. I know a few people with cp and their movements are obviously not from being on drugs.

        agree to disagree, i think its cerebral palsy im thinking of and they definitely look drunk and on drugs and they talk really slurred like a drunko (im pretty sure tis that, but it could be a different type of retardation). Maybe its because of your ones though?

          Usually people with cerebral palsy walk with a limp and have unusual movements.
          An intoxicated person may have odd movements too but they are very different.

              Ok. I guess I only know 3 people with cerebral palsy, but what do I know.

    I used to get accused of that constantly in high school, even though I was always sober. I rarely spoke but, when I did, it wasn't always relevant to the dumb crap everyone else was talking about, so they'd assume I was high.

      Might have been your unusual name that tipped them off that you were in the drug culture, or at least your family :D

      I had long hair, sorta slackerish, and liked some music that had weed influences, like Sublime. so people made at assumptions of me. Even thou I'm drug free, and don't even drug or smoke

        Was that in high school? I've never had that problem since high school. People were just so competitively judgemental back then. *sigh*

    I don't really do drugs anymore. I once took 98 temazepam capsules and went into a coma.

          Okay. We'd all like to know why you take every story so seriously. We know you're a nice lady, but you have a hard time spotting a joke post.

    It's probably you unfortunately. The odd day I get accused of it when I'm out of it or something. Do you feel out of it or spacey? Lost in thoughts? Or just socially awkward?

    Any of those things might give them the wrong impression.
