Hello everybody,
I don´t have any social acquaintances or friends, so I thought it may be a start to just go into a forum, as this one, and just state that. It may not seem like a promising approach, but I might develop some interest in people and get some experience. I don´t know if I am autistic, but I fit the criteria of someone, who is fairly introverted, according to C G Jung. I do consider myself as a bit difficult, so I warned you. I really distrust other people, and I don´t like it when others seem to impose their taste and values on me, as if they are representing "the absolute values". That annoys me. I also tend to be a bit "trollish", but not in a mean way, to take the perceived seriousness out of a situation. I tend to be avoidant, have a fear of letting people close to me. English is not my native language. Well that´s it so far, I am expecting 40 new friends by the end of this week.

Welcome. If you can quote 'Jung', you probably will fit right in :D

Hi, well I like programming applications and microcontrollers.

Behind my bed there are some bugs, I guess cause crumbs fall there, and I have acquired a liking to them. They seem to act differently when I platonically tend to them maybe twice a week, some are comparatively calm and some are so panicky and fidgety , and I say calm the hell down because they are so reminiscent of me.

I like to walk and run / jog. It worries me that increasingly I feel less connected towards nature and generally my surroundings, feel isolated from the "outside world". So last time i layed directly in the tall grass, plants, looking up to the sky / plants and i stayed there for ten minutes and that helped, wasnt trapped inside. Should do that more often.

I like bombarding people I don´t like with painfully bad puns. My ex coworker was constantly putting me down and even rumoring i beat women, just because of my partly portuguese heritage, so one day I just started with the bad puns, and I even pre wrote them to associate them with several items at the work place, and I uncomfortably smiled at him as if those were my kind of jokes for real, and he was looking at me with pitty and disgust. The puns were horrible and he was in pain, I know that.

And I like Youtube and food

On quoting Jung, years ago would have, at least to lecture non-tolerant extraverts, but nowadays I am a bit scared of psychology and philosophy, because the awareness it raises does not really profit my rudimentary social skills. And now I need to calm down and leave

Welcome!

The bug thing is a bit strange, however we all here are a bit strange.
