I think it's part of the 'lack of reciprocity' trait you find in AS. One 'gives' others too much without thinking whether one is getting anything back or whether they even want the 'gift'. I have a serious problem with failure to ask questions of others too.



This puzzles me to no end ... my AS bf NEVER asks me questions about myself. Does he not care? He's curious about everyone and everything else. :(


In my experience, I won't ask someone I care about directly what they think. Everyone else can be asked directly. But, it feels like i'm intruding if I ask those I care for. Frequently, I'll volunteer a plethora of information on a given topic hoping to get some feedback without actually asking the question. I can't stand the thought of 'interrogating' someone I care for, its like a violation of their privacy, and if they wanted to tell me, they should 'take a hint' by the questions I ask others or the info I reveal

In immediate retrospect, this sucks. Oh well, that's the way I am.
