That scares me... o.o I have friends, however; I must admit I had to work very hard to respond in relationships and I always tend to be comfortable with the oddballs in the group. :lol: I don't mind, since I am a bit odd myself. The hazard for me, and I thi... |

| Seems like you're an avid writer when it comes to this topic. Why don't you write a book, get it published, then send your mom a copy ? Maybe she'll begin to understand her role in all this. Narcissists do not want to understand their role, or become a better person. They just want their way, lots ... |

| nat4200 and jtuk have important points The is a big difference between being friendly at work and being "friends". Being friendly at work means having enough friendly interactions to make the work day pleasant and relations smoother. Sort of like being nice to your mechanic or the shoe salesperson. ... |

| ....that happened to me in real life that sadly enough made me make this thread. I just want to point out that it is silly to keep thinking about yourself that you are inferior towards other people, even when you have aspergers. The only person that you damage with that is yourself. Yeah, people ar... |

| Liking solitude and your own company is one thing. Why not enjoy the life you have, right? But your post seems to more be about leveling. Leveling is a rationalization where we say to ourselves, "we are not so bad because they are worse." Then you go on to cite loads of examples of stories from the ... |

| Hate it. Today I made my young son some hot cereal, which he ate with no "eating noises". I gave a bowl to my husband who for an unfathomable reason will not eat anything with a spoon without slurping. EEEK. After scores of requests to stop slurping (and a few fights) he continues. He professes that... |

I love that chart and Sheldon.
Do you think all the Big Bang theory guys have aspie-traits? Now that I have been studying about it I see how Raj has (evolving) selective mutism and Wolowitz is overcompensates for his lack of skills to appropriately approach a female.
What do you think? |

| Emos hate themselves, hipsters pride themselves on doing things before they were cool and not conforming top the norm, i.e. mustaches, leg tattoos on show, backpacks, hardcore. They all look similar, which is where the irony lies. I love that video! I was looking for it, because my son was asking w... |
