do you mean the awkward times where people look at you like this o.O and when your finished talking people eithier 1.suggest to go somewhere else and leave when your not looking or 2. say ''oooooooooooookkkkkkaaaaaaay...your wierd'' then turn to someone else and start a new conversation with them or 3. you say something and there is a silence then someone laughs or they walk away when you dont intend it to be funny.

if that is what you mean then yes i get that all the time. :( unfortunately that is my social interaction

Yes, but at least I notice them now. If you notice them, then you can perhaps do something about them.

After awhile you just kinda have to brush it aisde. Hell I turn those moments into humourous stories but then I'm game for self depreciative humour so tis a method that works for me.

So long as you can identify them your already one step ahead of a lot of aspies out there. It's being able to effectively reflect on the event and post-mortem the situation so you can learn lessons and be more prepared to not fall into a similair pattern of behaviour next time.
