The Cassandra Syndrome

This is an interesting phenomena. Well...not for me it isn't. But in an abstract sense it is.

It is also the name of the Greek persona that I picked to represent me.....when asked by Jim to do so, in the initial stages of his attempting to seduce me.

I remember that stopped him in his tracks because it was very convenient choice on my part... for him, and his ruse.

And it is very unfortunate....for me.

I feel, now, a lot of it is because of the aforementioned 'incongruence'. The incongruence in my body language and my verbal language causes people not to believe that I know anything, or have anything to offer them. I guess that means they do not trust me, I suppose. How bizarre. Because that is one of the traits of someone with Asperger's....they are generally very trustworthy and will do what they say they will do. They do not lie like NT's lie...who do so as a general state of being....while they receive and send non-verbal language to each other on 'what is really being said'.

This lack of belief in me affects all areas of my life. I really don't know how to change the body language bit. I have been going to phone someone for assistance in this area and will when I get more time.
