Has anyone ever said to you that they think your on cannabis.
I've never touched the stuff but all the time people assume I am.
Is it common for NT's to make this assumption?
Or could it just be they way I look/act? I have noticed one thing, which is that when I am with and talking to people I get very light headed and dizzy. I think this is because my breathing pattern changes. I suppose this could be a contributing factor.
I can sometimes act so goofy/strange that people could think I am using something... although they have not often said so.
Also you are not the only one I have heard of who forgets to breathe sometimes under changed mental activity... I used to forget while reading (in certain situations).
people think im on crack because i get really excited and i pace around and my eyes get all dialated and get this freaky glazed look but im not a drug addict i dont even know where to get the stuff or how to snort it properly and what not so yeah... And also I have this asthma medication thats a white powder in a clear capsuel and you have to crush it in this thing and breath it in all my soccer teamates teaze me and call iut cocaine well it looks like but but it's not

This is highly probable, that they are missinterpreting your actions. If I saw someone acting light headed, dizzy, I might assume they had been smoking something.
I get that all the time, people ask me who my dealer is, etc.
Sleep deprivation might be a factor for some of us too, since it's commonly said that sleep deprivation is similar to being slightly drunk. Any clumsyness that we may have - that may also contribute to the impression we give to others.
When I was a young teen, the teachers at school used to ask my mother if I had a drug problem, it was actually quite offensive now that I think about it.
I discovered that, throughout junior high and high school, it was the consensus among the pupils that I was a severe drug addict. Oddly enough, so far as I could tell, no teacher felt this of me.
I have had people thought I was on drugs but I never knowingly did drugs.
I had a few times, someone put something in my drink or gave me a pill and told me it was a vitamin. These were people I trusted. They abused me that way. I have low Machiavellan intelligence. Now if I go to a party, I just like to get my own drink. I should not accept an opened bottle or can of soda from anyone. I should go to a party with someone I trust.
There have been a few times in the past when I've been approached by random people (about my age) on the street and asked cannabis-related questions. However, I did have long and messy hair at the time so I suppose I just fit their stereotype. What was more common was people assuming I'd been drinking after seeing me at or coming from a party, perhaps a bit tired at the time or a bit used to talking to people who were mostly drunk themselves.
In reality I've never touched any drugs of any sort, not even alcohol.
There's really no drugs in my town, and anything that has to do with drugs is always a joke. Like, I'll walk up to some people who are making change and say, "MONEY!", and they'll be all like, "No, there's no drugs here... what are you talking about?"
Sorry, can't give you a seriously useful answer. ;S
