Creeper Complex

A complex where someone sees everyone and everything as "awkward" or "creepy"--words they use about 50 times a day. They construe ordinary, benign strangers as foreign, distant, and obtrusive, and regard unusual events outside the realm of their own standards & norms with an unreasonable amount of incredulity, disdain, or even alarm. Because of this, they often become avoidant, hesitant, and isolated in public situations, and so ironically, they become the most awkward and creepy people. Their construal of other people becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when everyone meets their awkwardness with avoidance and mistrust--everything characterized by a creeper. Thus, they really do live in a world of creepers with everything becoming "awkward" and "creepy", hence, the "Creeper Complex".

Dumb bitch with creeper complex: OMG, that person is so awkward! And look at that guy over there! He's being WAY too comfortable with himself, and I'm NOT okay with it. Where the hell are my friends.

Normal, upstanding group: (*talking to each other*) Who the hell is that dumb bitch over there? Can we go back to having a good time?

Bitch: (*seeing the group*) OMG those people just shot me a strange eye... They ARE creepy! (*flees*)
