Does that pretty much sum up an Aspie's approach to social situations and dealing with people, or is that just me?

Actually, I always thought that the NT's were the monkeys ...if I could "do" what I see, then maybe they would like me more but I am not a good monkey. I have learned to do a bit of small talk with co-workers but I haven't learned to like it.

I don't really follow this philosophy.

WOW! that just about sums up my position. You have no idea how many bad habits I've picked up from NTs...problem is...a lot of the habits I picked up were from people who hurt me...and it's hard to lose them >.<

Nah, it doesn't matter how much I observe people, I have my own style. I almost like it.

Yeah, I've learned some basic social etiquette that everyone should have, but beyond that I do things my way.

With me:

Monkey see.

Monkey think "WTF? That makes absolutely no sense!"

Monkey thinks some more.

Monkey still cannot figure the situation out.

Monkey drift off to library.
