has anyone here not been bullied, at least physically.
i haven't, or don't remember. ever being PHYSICALLY bullied.
but I also don't remember seeing anyone else physically bullied

I've always felt bad for people who were bullied because I guess I saw something of me in them
And I'm still not certain I am aspie.

I don't feel like my childhood fits the average criteria..or whatever
I don't remember feeling different until around high school
I don't remember my childhood feelings well at all. or try not to.
While I now believe that I've never been able to feel connected. As a child I didn't understand that so believed I was normal.
Also, growing up religious f****d ME UP, whenever i was doing something that was a ''sin'' :oops: I had a period in youth where i would hear voices (close my eyes and would see demons, knowingly imagining them) all because I was told my religion was the truth but did not, could not truly believe it
Another early memory I can think of that could be considered an ''aspie thing'' is,
when I was young I became conscientious about this contradiction of answering ''yes'' or ''no'' when the question is whether you did NOT like something, and which answer is truly correct. I showed this to my parents and they couldn't explain it to me. And I feel terrible that I can't define this properly myself, so here's an example.

You don't like chicken?
A no, i don't
b yes I don't like chicken


IM SORRY I GET SO OFF TOPIC but i feel like i never get to finish my thoughts expressively
I had to finish my train of thought or it would have bothered me. feels good that i did.

sounds to me like the grammatical stickler part of your noodle is arguing with the gestalt part. when you think of your example dialogue, your brain is picking up on both the individual words as a linked chain of specific thought-images, as well as the meta-meaning behind the words altogether. most folk default to the former or latter style of language comprehension but in your case you are drawn to both methods simultaneously. just a thought.

perhaps sounding a bit delphic, it is a challenge, for better or worse.
