Pretty much everyone tends to talk about their interests that are not music or celebrities.
This rule is a bit absurd, to say the least.

Everyone talks about their interests every now and then, however when one person starts talking non-stop about something it becomes annoying to those that are listening.

I have been on both ends(a couple of my class mates displayed OCD-ish behabiour) and I can assure you it´s annoying to the person that is listening unless the interest is shared with the listener.

Why not? I do this all the time. The clash is so in right now.

What's wrong with people knowing you're an Aspie? I tell people and they don't care. And anyway, it's more a sign of daydreaming than a sign of stimming.

I fidget with my fingers, so I guess that's my form of stimming. Social Rule Tomboywriter101 edition: Stop caring about what people think and you don't have to worry about these rules.

Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you might miss it.

Find yourself a group of friends who don't care if you dress oddly and talk about strange things. Also, bullies are less likely to pick on groups of people.
