In this wide spectrum of ours it seems to be commonly associated by others outside it as having poor social skills. Granted, in real life I've not met many people with aspergers, but some of those I have met have been able to hold conversations quite well especially when discussing a topic of mutual interest. I personally think I fall into this category as I enjoy having conversations when I feel my mind is being stimulated and I'm quite open when doing so, but at the same time find small talk and faking interest in a topic to be irritating and tiresome. I'm curious how other members feel on this. Do you enjoy conversations under the right circumstances? Or dislike the process all together?
If someone wants to discuss
something with me, I'll probably talk to them about it. I enjoy talking to people about all kinds of things. But if someone is lonely and just want to talk for the sake of talking, I'm probably not the best person for them to try and have conversation with. I just don't do small talk. It's a waste of time.
