I don't know if this happens to others often, but I've had my share of this ---> Somebody can be rude and judgmental toward me, and seemingly irritated by my very presence, or what not. I finally can't stand being shunned anymore, so I start to avoid them. They pick up on it and confront me, asking if they did something wrong, or what they did to deserve this treatment. I can't help but think they already know, and they're in denial. :x Do you believe them? I know, it depends on the situation, but do you give them the benefit of the doubt?

I have a tendency to think those close to me can read my mind, and when it's pointed out to me I get very agitated.

So no... I don't usually believe them.

I cant' read their mind, so why would I expect them to read my mind.... though sometimes, i likely do expect it.

If they ask, I assume they didn't know, unless they otherwise prove that they did.
If they don't ask.... I figure they knew all along.

If i seem irritated when i'm asked, it's not because I think you SHOULD know... it's because you're forcing me to put something into words that is hard to put into words.

That's a really good question.

I get annoyed when people accuse me of things and I have no idea what they are talking about or when they act all defensive towards me or mean as if I had done something wrong and they don't even tell me why they are doing it or even tell me if I did something wrong so I always tell people what they did wrong if they asked me what they ever did wrong. But if I think they full well know what they did, I don't answer. Like if someone decided to bully me and then they all of a sudden said they didn't know what they ever did to make me hate them. I take it as baloney. Either they are faking it or they are that messed in the head.

I give him or her the benefit of the doubt, and explain. People who don't have Asperger's have an advantage when it comes to social interaction, but it would be a long-shot to call them "Social Geniuses."

I hate it when people act like I have done something wrong but won't tell me what.
