| 1. What do you mean by "openly try to get close"? 2. You cannot preempt a unhealthy friendship. You will not know till you try. Because it is all in the interaction right. There is no way to predict it (very frustrating for me atleat), but as my brother keeps on telling me try, dont be completely op... |

| Back before I got married, I'd sort of committed myself to the ideal of Having a Relationship. Being stubborn and sufficiently obsessive -- I went on 12 first dates over the course of that year. And precisely zero second dates. I don't look like a deformed amphibian or anything, so it had to be som... |

| I also have days like that. I think you are amazing that you went with your father. So give yourself a pat on your back for it. If it was me, when i am overloaded, i just shutdown. There is no way i can push myself. My tolerance has gone up, so i can tolerate more than earlier, but then it always en... |

| My situation is just like you on my mothers side. All my cousins are these pros at being social. My nieces and nephews who are 5-6 also know how to manipulate others and take advantage. I had a very difficult childhood as they bullied me relentlessly as i took things too seriously. My own brother al... |

| Most NT think it is great for "close friends" to drop in. Infact my mom gets extremely upset if she finds out that someone she considers close, came into the area but did not visit her. |

| I have heard this and been told to do this tons of times. The only problem is i have not found that place or those kind of people yet. Some people "seem" to share my interest, but dont when talking casually. Others cant even begin to talk in my area of interest. A small proportion may have superfici... |

| One thing that really irritates me about "hanging out" with people, which I have avoided for months now, is that everyone seems to be laughing about silly things when I just want to talk about something interesting. True. I live in halls currently and i am amazed by how repetitive and dumb their to... |
