Well, i'm (probably) in the same boat as you, but I dislike it, because it means that they don't see me as a person, but instead a means to an end. I'm pretty sure nearly every good thing that I have irl could be summarized as "He got this because he's special". Hell, even my time in this site could be summarized in that way. I'll probably won't get a geniune connection with someone, so I just given up on that. I've exaggerated my spedness too many times to get a laugh out of people, so it's probably deserved.
