I don't do "hugs."

I don't shake hands.

If however, I call you my friend I mean it.
(Even if you don't hear from me for a month or two)

Please don't expect me to read your mind, and stop telling yourself that you can read mine. You're consistently wrong.

:) I'm an NT and as one; I agree, I understand and noted..

I do wish you guys could find yourselves where you would be very comfortable to the littlest of detail that would require, because as an NT, I would like to say some of those to a lot of NTs too, and I'm sure I'm not the only NT with that sentiment.. But what I think is important is you do "you", whatever makes you happy and comfortable. Its a big world, everyone has their welcome spot and everyone is entitled to be at home. :)

I hope I wasn't intrusive, Sorry if I was.. :shrug:

Hi

yes your answer makes me feel silly for answering the way i did.

your answer is a very simple and innocent answer and i was caught in the trap of replying along the dichotomous lines that were precursed in the question.

i do not distinguish between NT's and AS people.

to all people who are not me i like to say "white with 2 sugars" when they introduce themselves to me.

i am so immature compared to you, but it is fun i guess.

i will grow up soon i hope.

What I would like to say to NTs are, Why are you so obsessed and preoccupied with gender? It should stop. Please dont talk shite and think us as rude or antisocial for not being interested. It is not a bonding ritual but a social abrasive. I find it off putting. Stop trying to cause anxiety attacks in us aspies with your stupid expectations it is totally out of order :arrow:

Just ONE thing is a difficult exercice, there would be so much to say!! ! :)
Sorry guys but, I am going to break the rules! ;)

Well, I would say:

- Don't judge me by only seeing my behavior...
- Please, be a "little bit more" open-minded...
- I don't know what you are thinking, right now.
- I don't/can't understand what you exactly mean by that.
- Why do you mean something different from what you are actually saying?
- Sorry for this question, but I have to ask you this, because, if not, I could believe that you could feel exactly the same as me (which could be, sometimes, very embarrasing!)
- Okay, I guess that you are thinking that I am a fool but I'm not. So, please don't "play" with me (and/or my feelings) as you could do with a puppet.
etc etc...

Very interesting topic!
:)

Processing query.........Hmm.

Why does your inside (your mind/thoughts) oftentimes not match what you overtly express? If you say 'X' then why do you actually do 'Y'? And, are you all-right with this incongruency?

Why must you do small talk like "How's the weather?" and ask "How are you" and not want to hear the real answer and if you don't enjoy it yourself, why do you do it? Why not be yourself and screw the social rules?

What's the point in lying like making up excuses to not go out with someone when you can flat out and tell them you don't want to go out. They already know you don't want to go out when you have an excuse and keep having one when they ask you out every time so why lie?

Why do you think people are judging when they ask something? Wouldn't judgmental people just make an assumption without even bothering to get the facts and that would be not asking any questions because that is the only way to get facts. Would you rather have people stay ignorant and just make assumptions without even asking to get the facts?

"I don't do that small talk."

Why do you like being lied to like if someone asks "How do I look in this dress?" why do you only want to hear a certain answer? How come you don't want to hear their honest opinion and if you think you look fat in it, why even ask. It's probably true then. Then getting upset when your partner has the same opinion as you how you look in your dress is very hypocritical.

Why do you even tell people they don't have to do something and expect them to actually do it? To me that is playing a mind game and I avoid those people who do that s**t to me.

Why do you give offers and then get upset when you do it because they took the offer? To me that is also playing a game. Do you do it just to see if they take it or not? Is it some kind of test?
