Hey, Hikikomori. What's up?
I like your name. Does it mean something? |

| Its like Sins said, they thought they were doing me a favor when really they were doing themselves the favor. I think they were trying to be considerate, not selfish in this situation. If they knew about your situation with AS they probably thought you wouldn't want to go, and would feel uncomforta... |

| I think people probably don't realize what a big deal it is to you because AS people tend to have one big interest while NTs have a whole bunch of more casual ones. When you want to talk to an NT you have to find out what they're into and then do a bit of looking into it before you can even discuss ... |

| You can certainly expand your social skills with practice, but you need to find people who will meet you halfway, too. There's two biggies I've learned: Spend less time talking about myself and what I like, and more time encouraging the other person to share their concerns, interests and feelings. Y... |

| I like going for my walks at night because it feels more private and the moon and stars make everything more beautiful, I think. There's nothing odd about it. If your family is harassing you do you get upset and argue back? If they just want to get a reaction out of you, you shouldn't reward them wi... |

| Wow, I never heard of someone hatching live moths and butterflies before. That's really cool! Where did you buy those moth cocoons (I'm even more surprised that they're available for sale) and were they difficult at all to care for? I always thought that they only lived for a day in adult form but t... |

| You sure sound like an Aspie. And there's nothing "wrong" with you. I know sometimes it doesn't feel like it, but everybody has their problems and shortcomings. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters, right? |

Usually she'll say that she would love to go, and will go if something doesn't come up. Like I say, there are unusual circumstances on her end that often p... |

| Synesthesia is right. If you do things for someone that you're not comfortable with you're just going to make things harder for yourself. And if it's stuff like that then you can mess up your relationship with someone too. I don't know if other aspies grow out of it but I always hated hugs and kisse... |

Hi, Synesthesia! You've got some pretty cool interests there. Do you have a pet crab? Or collect butterflies and moths? And what other music do you listen to? L'arc en Ciel maybe? (only other Japanese band I listen to  )
I'm not trying to be nosy, just friendly.  |

Myself, when I first went to college it was hell. Then I moved from the dorm next to the stadium (it was full of sports nuts and sorority kids, of ... |

| First of all, Dyp, don't feel bad. In my experience, people like that are often just defensive because they really are dumb, and I would especially suspect this to be the case if she claims to "act stupid" to get out of work. Anyway, I've noticed two other key things: 1. That people get really defen... |
