I am very aloof...
The NT world is far to fast for me to cope with in real time situations...
I am over the misunderstandings that almost always occur and have chosen to divorce myself from social interaction wherever possible...
And I am luvin' it... :mrgreen:

I make mental notes of certain people's routines, times, days, locations, etc. and use this information to intentionally avoid them. I'm a master at maneuvering out of social situations. Even learned a few lines of German, that'll make strangers go away.

I just thought those words would sound funny together when you sound them out. But it's true. I am.

If you think my WP persona is remote, then you should meet me in real life. Or maybe you shouldn't. LOL.

:wink:

I'm usually aloof, but become good friends with me and I'll open up to you.

When I used to travel a lot for work, I would take German language magazines with me. I know some German, but not a lot. People left me alone thinking I couldn’t speak English!
