| I'm curiuos to know if any of you use self-deprecating humor as a social buffer. It seems to work well enough for me. When I'm wearing a lil' thin I just make a joke about how i'm obnoxious, a know it all, socially awkward, etc. Then the person just laughs acts like "oh he's actually very witty and ... |

| No specific lines, but as I gather we're all pointing out humoring and condesending comments really irritate us. I just hate that. Like If a person says they don't give a crap. Okay, that's fine. Though when they put on a poorly acted attempt of niceness as if you're a lil' kid playing grown up, as ... |

| Well does she know you have Asperger's? Usually if someone thanks I'm being a jerk or too unwavering i'll just mention that to them. Than they typically act more understanding. |

| Yeah so whether you're religious or atheistic, if you think the people who are different from you are less than it's likely to be a relationship issue if you date people who don't agree with you "Less than"....? Less than intelligent? I should point out, that it is not my belief that people that ar... |

| Depends. It's not about the religious beliefs, it's about how both of you choose to deal with them and whether you judge others who don't share your beliefs, on the basis of your beliefs. This. It's a deal-breaker for me, but I'm more judgemental about it than others. I believe it reflects a person... |

| I'm sure most of the member here have at least felt like an outcast at one point. i've accepted being something of an outsider and having said perspective. Which many have found valuable at times. Over time you'll meet people that'll accept you warts and all. Those who won't aren't worth your time. |

| Those application quizes are such BS. the questions are so narrowly defined it's impossible to give an accurate answer. My only suggestion is avoid absolutes. With many of those tests that is the most important thing. Because any absolute answered Agree is a blatant lie. |
