The repeaters talked about here sound to me like they have some issues with memory or their intelligence, like a lot of old people. My grandmother is like that.

But I mostly spend my time with Aspie people anyways, they usually have a lot of interesting things to share or talk about, important questions and topics and no small talk. Like yesterday I went to one of the local Aspie meetups and I think everyone agreed it had been an interesting evening afterwards because people stayed a lot longer than the opening hours, some of us even went out afterwards to eat and continue our discussions.


Usually NTs bore me or I get confused or just drained of energy. I have no interest in gossip or talking about the weather or anything like that. But I do understand the function of small talk as a way of getting to the more important topics. I don't like it though, usually I just want to keep quiet until I have something useful, important or funny to say.

I'm almost always getting bored of other people. It has caused me a lot of problems, and I find it hard to pretend with them, once I am bored of them. I have done a lot of things to help me with it. Like sometimes I can find something specific that's bothering me about someone, for example if they like to gossip. Then I can bring that up and tell them it bothers me a lot, and that I prefer to talk about something else. Sometimes that backfires though and they end up getting sick of me instead, lol.

I'm having this problem right now. I have a friend I go bowling with on Saturdays that I'm tired of. We've been friends since 2012. I'm just not getting anything out of the friendship. Advice would be appreciated.

What would make you interested in this person again?
