Hi,
Do you really like the physical contact of Playfighting with same sex friends?
By "Playfighting" I mean: Tickling eachother, Wrestling, cuddling, and pinning eachother down.
The reason I made this Poll is that I enjoy it, and know that most adult friends don't behave like that with eachother.
I find it fun, and wondered if any other adult aspies also like it.

We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.
