Hi Everyone.

Im from South Africa.

Ive been reading a lot of posts from this site. I have found most of the discussions very enlightening. Ive also enjoyed the different perspectives on issues. I must say ive learnt so much from these forums with regard to AS and other issues which relate to the person who is my love interest.

I hope it wont be minded that I am not on the spectrum.

I am on wrong planet to learn more about AS and also I am here to provide any assistance that you may need on understanding NTs better (if you so will) or any other issues relating to the social world or any other :)

<-------- that is the real me in the profile picture.

Well, Your answer is not too bad!

Lack of reciprocity generally equals bafflement and frustration - which is also disliked.

The answer is more along the lines of pretentiousness. Pretending you like someone but you're only in it for what you can gain, pretending to be a friend but going behind their back and gossiping and just general pretence.

Thanks for being a sport and answering my question!! Thumbs up! :)

I am bad at pretending so I never lost a friend for that reason :lol:

gossiping is what a lot of NT's seem to do but maybe NT's call that socializing

Welcome to Wrong Planet, ItsStillOk!! :D

Honestly, it's great to have more NTs who are curious about the spectrum on the forums!

I've been followin WP forums for a while now and find them quite intriguing. I've found a lot of meaningful information and intellectual depth. A refreshing change from the stuff I'm used to.
