A very strange person... #4

[psy_guy]

She was my classmate, she's around 16 years old.

She almost always smiles, but smiles not like a normal person, just with a smile, and that's a facial expression triggered by her brains, not a constant facial expression.
She is a believer of some religion, same as her mother and father. The religion brings items to the 'priest', and are being brain-washed. She arguments, that there's a god, just because it is, and if you are saying differently, you are stupid, wrong, and she doesn't like you.
She repeats the same few words almost after every word, while forming the sentence.
She is being laughed at, but she is smiling, and she keeps talking her non-sense, that is obvious BS. And that's happening even, when she is being laughed at to face by many people around, even teachers (teachers are almost impossible to make laugh, at least those, so try to imagine, what she talks about...).
She can sit for hours and watch one point, while smiling.
Sometimes you call her, and she doesn't respond, not a single movement, nothing. You need to call her a few times, only then you receive her response, that's almost always.
When she sits, she likes to move her leg... Well, do the thing, that does people, who are nervous. Or play with her pen, which emits a very nasty, high Hz sound. Or just bump the table. When you ask her to stop, she says "but it's my rythm!!!", or doesn't pay any attention to you.
She thinks, that she is popular and liked by people.
She had to say a speech, and she was saying it for more than 10 minutes, while you are supposed to do it for 3 minutes. She was talking a complete non-sense, everybody was laughing, but she still was talking, even the teacher.
She talks silent.
She repeats herself very often. She can say a thing a minute ago, and repeat it.
She repeats the same argument to many of your arguments. Just repeats it. Even if you explain her, that this argument is wrong, and you are not right, face the facts. She repeats the argument again.
She expresses a lot of emotions, while talking to people, and thinking. I mean body language.
She talks to herself sometimes, when thinking about some exercise.
She laughs occasionally (not only smiles, but laughs...), with no apparent reason. My guess is, of her thoughts...
She says, that she is not learning, because she doesn't have time. She can do that for 5 sequential days, on the same lesson, to the same teacher, and listen to a good argument, why she is wrong.
When she types with computer, she bangs the keys, not presses them.
She doesn't understand even simple jokes sometimes, but rarely. She often laughs only after ~3-5 seconds, or even when everybody else is finished laughing from some joke. Sometimes it seems, that she laughs by force, only to appear like laughing, while everybody else is laughing.
She doesn't understand sarcasm and irony very well.
She talks like a phylosopher, always talks long about some small thing.

Okay... I think, I could write more things about this strange person, but I cannot think of something else atm... So anyway, in my opinion, she's a deep authistic person, and not only that, there must be something else wrong with her. Which would mean, that her personality is not possible to talk about. So just out of curiocity - what is wrong with her?

Might be some degree of autism.

[Mahiqun]

Seems like autism for me.

Of all the personalities you've described Psy, this is the one that I truly pity.

In all honesty, I don't think she has autism, just stunted emotional growth. Her actions are somewhat 'robotic' and repedative, maybe indicative of autism, but what I really think is that the root her her psychological state comes from cult-mind control. Strongholds of the mind are created by irrational religious thought, that are reinforced and particularly strong through parental influence. It would be interesting to know what religous group these people belong to. Are they door-to-door people ie., J.Ws or Mormons, for eg? These people are rigid in their religious dogma and so sure of their belief that they be of a 'pleasant demeanor' even smiling fixedly.

This girl can smile even during times of duress that other girls her age - ones that have not been similarly affected by cult mind control - would find distressing. But this girl can 'smile' through everything. This is affected behaviour and not at all psychologically 'normal'. She is therefore not expressing normal psychological freedom (please excuse me for the use of this term, it is loose I realise). So, it sounds to me like this girl's psychological state has been overridden by a belief system that tells her to smile through all stress and all natural feelings of rejection (which are normal for a teenage girl).

And so the stress that she is used to controlling and containing will then go on to manifest in repetitive behaviour like the tapping (and other behaviours).

Another indication of how she may well be influenced by cult mind control (or conditioning) is how she is able to speak like this:
"She talks like a phylosopher, always talks long about some small thing."

If this girl is in an environment where the parents and the peers of the parents are constantly discussing their religious dogma, then it's possible that she's copying that style, a style of speaking that can be philosophic -  you know, speaking of the 'eternal' rather than the ordinary things of day to day life.

Unfortunately, people that are steeped in religious dogma that tells them how to 'think/behave/react or not react/feel' really are not living in the real world and are conditioned to live in another sort of world in their minds. This is why I feel sorry for her.

That is a very nice and in-depth overview of her personality, acousticeagle.
Thanks.
