| I don't play popular sports or anything. Other males just like me a lot. The only reason I'm known to females is because the males won't let them forget. I don't really parttake in activities. I don't do anything. I train A LOT faster than regular mortals but they don't know that. I mean, what they ... |

| It's getting harder the older I get to stand to be around people. NTs have such exaggerated personalities and make so much of small things. They talk a lot without contributing anything meaningful and are too easily excited. They laugh at the stupidest stuff, too, like crude humor. It's freaking an... |

| I personally have had a lot of issues with body language. Those "hints" people give by trying to talk to us without using words and the fact that I can't really process them since there's just too much information/data I need to work on, drives me mad sometimes. Though I have some little tricks tha... |

| Sometimes it is better just to say "sorry I was wrong", no matter how right or wrong you are. No, it isn't. You NEVER say you're wrong when you know you're right. I'd feel insulted if someone did that to me. You know you are right? How can you be so sure? There is no absolute. Ok, let's say you are... |

| I mean, would you like to be able to dodge bullets? Dodging bullets does sound pretty awesome. I thought it was some metaphor for leadership or something. I'm not completely sure because I'm still new to this but I think you could be special. How right does it feel to be able to dodge bullets and f... |

| From the replies, the best course looks like just taking note of what I was doing and simply don't do that again. You will do that again if you don't understand what you did wrong. He did nothing wrong. You are all normal. Please define 'wrong' and 'normal'. Wrong - what we were made to be able to ... |

So we were working on something together (an art thing) so here's the convo: Her: "so should I use the same color you used, or it doesn't matter?" Me: "i don't know, the color I used doesn't exactly match our template... |

I wouldn't trust a psychologist who believes ADHD exists, having firgotten to research normal people. Seriously, you have to admit you can't know what's weird if you don't know what's normal. Do as you feel. It can never go wrong. |

| Making friends would seem to be a relatively simple activity which everyone I know manages with ease yet for me it proves to be, as stated in the subject, a truly Herculean task. Unlike many of the other people posting here, I've never really been overtly bullied. I often felt in school that people... |

The part of me that feeds into my low self-esteem will alway... |

| No, Erwin, I'm not really a pack leader. More like a young prodigy, who shows potential but lacks experience. I also have no idea what you mean by "dodging bullets" Claradoon, thank you for asking whether they give as many compliments to others. In this particular example, I didn't feel this way, b... |

Also, I think it was on a list of social skills or social mistakes autistic people make on the internet too. I laugh at my jokes but I've also seen plenty of NTs who are soci... |
