| I was wondering: do NTs find small talk to be something really enjoyable and interesting, or do they also think it's pointless and futile like most people think around here? |

| I think it is possible to think people are nice people without wanting to be friends with them. In fact most (NT) people (I think) can maintain an easy camradarie with people who they know, like and think are nice without feeling the need to get to know them better. The thing is that a lot of frien... |

| Small talk is utterly useless, pointless, and stupid. I avoid it as much as possible. It's not productive at all. It has it's purpose for the larger population. It's just a way of keeping the social connection current. My problem is people who only want to small talk and never discuss anything inte... |

| I need human contact, even though I can stay quite a long time without seeing anybody; then I start to get depressed. |

| Thanks for the support. Actually, when I think about it, my problem is that I can't go beyond small talk and I can't find a way to talk to new people. Actually, there are 2 or 3 people I sometimes talk to at college, but it never goes beyond small talk (about work, "have you read the book?", that ki... |

| Hello. Right now, I'm kinda feeling blue because I'm having a hard time trying to keep the rare friendships (I'd say three) I managed to make in high school over the last two years, and I can't really find a way to meet other people too. These friendships that I managed to make, I can't maintain the... |

I often feel closer to cats than humans.
I don't know if my cat is my best friend, but even though she's often annoying I really love her. |

| I had some good friends until I was about 6 (until primary school, basically). Actually, my first 5 years were really nice: I had friends, I was kinda gifted since I had learnt to read when I was four and a half, and I suppose that they were impressed. Trouble started when i turned 6, they started t... |

| I profoundly hate sports and I am awfully bad at it. I don't really know why. It seems like I don't understand anything of it. I'm physically weak, maybe I have bad reflexes and/or coordination, I don't know... Obviously, school made me hate sports even more. Of course, when you're not good at it, t... |

| Hello, I'm 20, I'm French and I have Asperger's syndrome. I have a relatively slight form of the syndrome compared to other people around here, but it still hinders me when it comes to social relationships. I'm slowly learning how to deal with the condition, I can say that I'm in a far better situat... |
