| The main problem, a similar problem I have, is my adversion to share my music with people, even close people like family members. Perhaps due to fear of them making negative judgments about your music? Yeah I mean it's sort of my "inner world" that i just have walled off, a large part of ... |

| Hey Tim! Welcome, mate! Lets connect by nerdying over music, shall we? I'm sending you a PM. Cheers! Hmm, I guess you didn't notice the following in Permutative's post? I had other interests earlier but abandoned them out of association with conflict with other people within the communities of thos... |

| Yes, groupthink happens everywhere, even among autistic people, but it's less intense here on Wrong Planet than in most NT circles. We actually do manage to have reasonably civil conversations between people with different points of view. Also, among autistic community spaces, message boards like W... |

| 1. I hate social patterns. My biggest fear is to find myself in a group of NT people that will act in a certain way, just because the group says so. I've been questioning EVERYTHING for as long as I can remember, including religion, sexuality, social rules, and disrupting mindsets is one of my grea... |

| What happens is 3 things: 1: You reinforce your own internal perceived social value, which is a comforting thing to do as it avoids cognitive dissonance, the discomfort that would result from deliberately telling yourself you aren't ret*d whilst feeling ret*d. It's very difficult to do and trying to... |

| Yeah, that's an interesting dichotomy you have there. While I don't have that contrasting sort of dynamo personality, my brother definitely is like that in a sense. He is quick to be zealous about new things, hopping from one thing to another. He has this aura of joy around him, enough to permeate t... |

| I have a natural proclivity towards interacting with people older than me rather than younger than me. I find that people younger than me sort of have certain social instincts particular to their stage of development that I lack. They sort of form cliches/tribes that require a certain conformity or ... |

| A quick scan of the internet pointed to a book about self compassion. What did it SAY? Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind. This sounds like very good advice to me. There is enough other people trying erro... |

| I get very upset and disrupted when something I use regularly breaks, or is otherwise removed from my life. I don't mean like my phone breaking or loosing my glasses, I mean like a dish I like all the time to eat on breaking, or a certain kind of soap I like using running out, or especially my mothe... |

| Imo the vast majority of scenarios where there is a paradigm shift of how humans perceive, think, and behave at a fundamental level would result in chaos and disorder if it's implanted into the current societal and cultural structure of the world. It could reasonable to suppose that a different comb... |

However, my disposition towards routine means that once I find something I like, it's what I get every time. I'm not clumsy, I'm actually pretty physically coordinated an... |
