Ah a kindred logician
Yes, I prefer to think about emotions rather than with them. I'm a very passionate, emotional person, actually. I'm also very empathetic, but I sometimes say things is a very blunt and offensive way that upsets people. I also go on rants when I'm upset. I feel guilty about this, and I'm trying to work on processing emotions and communicating better.
I'm never bored though, as my brain is always picking apart ideas, and I live to learn things.
I can be charming when I'm in a small group of people, the atmosphere is comfortable/stress-free, and certain topics are avoided.
As I become more self-aware with age, I realise that this is what I have to work with. I'm not neurotypical, and I do have a personality that is what it is. I tried reprogramming myself with things like meditation, but that didn't work. I have dyspraxia (with autistic traits) rather than full-blown autism, so I'm trying to use the great amount of empathy I have more constructively, rather than squashing it down because it's painful to deal with.
I post on here because I still crave interaction with neurodivergent people.
Well hello, kindred spirit. I really enjoy knowing I'm not the only person that thinks like that ^.
