I try to act NT, but I guess I've only really gotten it to where I know how to respond normally to some of those conversation things like "how are you?". But I think I'm doing better with social interaction in general now that I've started taking meds, because they help me with my social anxiety.

Names: I can never remember people's names. I have to repeat them in my head several dozen times, and even then, it's just luck if I remember. Explanation: I never really call people by their names to their faces. I don't know why, but it feels weird/uncomfortable, and a bit unnecessary. So people ...
