Do creepy people know they are creepy?

I don’t think every person who is creepy knows it. And please don’t mistake my term of creepy as meaning someone who is simply different. Different people, weird people (which I proudly claim to be), are not the same as creepy. I have run into people who think their creepy actions are funny or daring, or bold, and they wear it like a badge. But it’s all creepy.
Being misunderstood is totally different. I wish I could remember the name of a show I used to watch on cable, and it was a documentary about a shop that sold unusual things. The people who came in there were absolutely delightful in what mainstream people would say were odd interests. But they weren’t creepy.
Watch out for the creeps. Do you?

@allknowing I understand that; it would be annoying.

@AmbiePam I have no idea but I dread when they come to my post. I just ignore them . Only when there is something to criticise or point out errors according to them that I see them and it gets on my nerves.

I consider creepy people as those who make others uncomfortable,and no if they were self aware enough to know how they come off, the probably wouldn't be creepy...unless of course they are psychopaths or something.

I have sensed at times when someone was on the creepy side and was right. I steered clear of them as much as possible.
I've also known people who for whatever reasons were just different than what most would consider "normal" and find them to be actually interesting to be around. I seem to learn from them more that the "normal" people

My definition of creepy is someone who makes me feel uneasy - tells me things that I am uncomfortable of hearing. Lol

@freelancemariagrace If I feel uneasy I get out of that situation as fast as I can.

Avoid them like the plague. Some relish their own creepiness and love to disgust and disturb others for "fun".

. Maybe what makes them creepy is they continue pushing their creepy buttons and have no sense of when to stop - when most people do.

I love unusual things and people, but I can not abide creepy.

I know or have known some very creepy people. One guy in our park came from the backwoods in Maine. He was creepy. I don't know exactly why but I could not stand being around him. He just was not like other people. He tried to act like most people but he just didn't.

Oh, I definitely think some people know they are creepy. I think that's the way they strive to be.
I like celebrating differences, but if someone gives me a 'creepy' as you say, feeling, I am out of there!

I think we all think of the safety factor now more than we ever have before, Amber.

Yes I watch out for creeps all the time. I am thinking about one in particular. Thank goodness, he moved out of the neighborhood.

My best friend told me about a guy who she works with. He had been following this one girl around. The girl told the guy that she wasn't interesting him, but he keeps following her around. My best friend said that she will tell the manager about it if the girl won't.

I've met a couple of really creepy people on busses. I'm glad I don't travel by bus anymore. Have a good day.
