I'm confussed

Post Reply New Topic

I just had an episode where my parents were reminding me to be more organized when I go to college, and I thought they were angry with me so I said "Okay, what did I do wrong?"
But they were just trying to help me. And I felt bad afterwords. I got Asperger's Syndrome, Bipolor, and alittle bit of AD/HD and OSD (Hand washing).
Do you guys feel the same way? It's confusing and painful to me. I can't reconize a human's facial and body launguage, therefore I'm "Mind Blind".

Surprisingly, I'm going to be 20 next year and in two years I'll be living on my own (because I'm on a list for appartments).
It's not that it's overwhelming, but It's mentally confusing.

This can be very difficult and the only way round it is practice, lots and lots of practice. TV is better than real life for this as people won't get annoyed because you're staring at them. Start off with a couple of soap operas, listen to the people talking but at the same time watch their body language and facial expressions.

still cant tell facial expressions very well either.. Its true, you have to study and learn faces a lot. It helps.

I have the same experience, Eric. My parents always tell me:'' You don't listen to anything we say. Someday you'll look back and say ' My parents were trying to help me, not criticize me.' '' So much for constructive criticism- I'll see if I have a flashback later in life.
