Sure they would! But remember, you gotta be your own friend first.

I'm definitely not someone who draws people to them like magnets, which is probably how I meant to word the question:

Are People Drawn To You?

I've always been in awe of people who were able to do that.

I've been involved with groups of people who never would accept me, no matter what I did. I always had excuses for it, such as: They don't like new people. They've already established cliques, and aren't accepting new members. They think I'm too young/too old. I don't have enough money. Etc. I always thought of it as a problem with those particular people, but then when someone who also didn't fit any of that criteria came into the group and were welcomed with open arms, I was baffled. Now, of course, I know that it's because I'm an Aspie. I just wondered if there were any Aspies who had the ability to charm.

People general like me after a while. My first impression isn't that great... and either people ignore me or they think I'm slightly odd and unintelligible (I can't blame them too much, my language tends to pretty scattered and bizarre at first).

After a while people start to understand me and see that I am really not that bad, and am pretty nice. And eventually I'll make jokes, and have some deep insight into some weird topic that may be sort of interesting... and the people warm up even more.

It is rare that people hate me. I am too inoffensive to really get under people's skin. And I at least try to be considerate, I just don't know everything I have to do.

I think there are people that like me, but think that I'm a bit shy. But there's a reason why I have a little social phobia. As for this website, I have no idea. Am I annoying or am I supportive? I think there are some folks that like me and some folks that don't. :?

I'll answer my original question too.

When I was in school, no one could ever think of anything bad to say about me, unless it was that I was shy. This quote from my favorite movie sort of sums it up:

"Brandon is the sort of man everyone speaks well of, but no one remembers to talk to."

As an adult, though, people tend to be more suspicious of me. While acknowledging that I seem nice, they always want to believe that something bad is lurking under the surface. Since they can't figure me out, they fill in the blanks however they want. They take my actions and put their own spin on them, with some type of hidden meaning that I never intended.

Indeed. It's like this, basically: if you can't like yourself, then people will start to wonder if they should bother trying to do so (why should they care about somebody who doesn't even care about himself?).

Depends on how well I want to act for the day.

Generally most people love me. This past year I've realized I don't have to have everyone like me. Problem with that is, that now I find myself slipping into my AS way too much and people think I'm being unfriendly.

I just don't want to chit chat, small talk, etc. etc. Is that a crime?! haha

That's actually been my experience too. Most people tend to think I'm arrogant and aloof ... the most common thing I hear from people who actually get to know me is, "Wow, you're nothing like I thought you were."

Yes. Lots of people actualy adore me. I may be a punk on the internet but in real life I suffer from "sweetheart syndrome". I'm sure there's people who don't but then I'm one of those people who tell people who say things about me or things I like to get lost and a lot of people actualy admire me because I have the strength to do that. It seems like it would take more strenght to put up with them.

With all due respect, Kilroy, that's the pot calling the kettle black. I seem to recall you doing the exact same thing. :P
