When I was younger (especially when I was 13-15 years old or so) it was sort of easy for me to start liking people. Boys. Boys who paid me attention. I wasn't really used to getting their attention so when I got it I somehow started to like them. The feelings were never mutual and even worse; some of them turned out to be bullies who only paid attention to me in order to use it against me and bully me instead. I don't think I've ever been that good at "interpreting signals" from people when it comes to flirting and attention etc. It's like I thought that as soon as someone noticed me and talked to me they liked me. Do you know what I mean?
So, I'm simply just wondering if this is "normal" for someone with AS and/or if this is typical for all adolescents (NTs as well)?
