I'm usually tactful. Sometimes I have the opposite problem from being blunt. For instance, if everyone else in a group claims to like a certain movie that I hated I'll respond with something like "I thought the special effects were neat of you're into that kind of thing" rather than just admitting that I didn't like it. Then I get embarrassed thinking my response probably sounded stupid.

If people react funny to me it's usually because I'm being overly analytical. I don't give simple quick responses to questions. I have to give all the reasons why. I'll try to preemptively answer all possible questions or doubts people might have in a single response rather than just letting it be and waiting to hear what the others think. I get weird reactions after over-explaining myself like this. Any other aspies find themselves in the habit of doing this?


yes i do this when i get driving lessons analyzing every mistake and how to do it right next time i also do it when i play a video game and i talk to ppl on ventrillo about the gameplay and what needs improvement ussually it just stays quiet because they stopped listening halfway through i gues.

so you are saying when you are saying something rude that you are just a kid and we shouldn't take you seriously?

OK
thanks for pointing that out.
