I've grown up with very poor social skills and an inability to relate to people. I have a lot of times trouble reading people even. Or smiling when they smile to me. Or when they say hello, I don't respond. When someone asks me a question, they have to prompt me to answer. When people claim they've given me enough "hints" at what to do in a situation, I'm dumbfounded because I never got any of those "hints." Anyone else have this much trouble? I even see people cry or get angry or whatever, and I can't relate or feel anything.
I'm at a loss in understanding the human race. All I see myself doing is just standing back and watching the world like I'm watching a movie.


I'm exactly the same.
