You didn't make me feel bad. The things I do are a lot more fun and interesting than socializing. Socializing is overrated.


I agree. After encouraging me for a while to spend more time socializing, my therapist said, "You know, you seem pretty happy when you're on your own." Which is true, although I still want friends. I just don't need to be around others as much as most people do, I guess.

It depends on peoples interests but in part i agree, i like to be alone hearing music reading something that interests me etc.., i have a very peculiar personality because i have obsessions like aspies i also have a highly logical/objective way to see things, many people says iam very bright because of my theories mainly on the philosophy of mind/conscience, thats why asperger caught my attention but i also enjoy going to a psychedelic party and get completely drunk/stoned or going with some friends to the beach make surf, doing things with people, chit chat/socializing i agree that really sucks and is boring.

Middle-aged socializing is extremely boring. You'll get over it. :lol:
