| I love my dad but personally, I feel safer and more able to confide in my mom. Dad seems to be more intimidating and, I don't know, scary when trying to speak emotionally. It has always been that way. I think it is because he wants to play little jokes or tickle meand I never took that well. |

| It is not weird. I have one fiend who is my same age but any others at least 2 years younger. The issue becomes awkward when some of my maturity in areas like goals contrasts big time with my friends. |

| I actually understand a little bit of what you're talking about. I feel most isolated at big family gatherings or when I am surrounded by my NT friends. I feel like I need to run and hide a corner wth a book. The book doesn't demand emotional content or social confirmations. I think that is what bot... |

| I think some of the worst pieces of advise i got were "just ignore them, they'll go away", "you need to get a sense of humor", and along the lines of be yourself, "just sit and talk to the other kids." I heard A LOT of that! The worst was in middle school and the humor wasn't good because it is like... |

I was wondering if anyone else has read this book or any of ... |

| Simples. As some of the people on this website are unable to manage face-to-face relationships, we're unable to get on in life: evolution has ensured that NTs consider those of us who don't do eye contact can be a little shifty.
