For me it's more than just lacking social skills. I lack a sense of connectedness to people on a very deep and fundamental level.
I don't feel anything for people unless I know they're worth caring about: I see a human, and I'll either be thinking "Please let them not talk to me", or nothing at all, because furniture, no matter how mobile it is, doesn't provoke thought.
I lack almost completely certain emotions that are associated with connectedness with people: love, loneliness and jealousy.
My dreams are almost devoid of people- most nights it's just me in empty landscapes.
I lack certain people-seeking instinctive reactions: since I moved out of infancy; I haven't cried out loud when I've hurt myself, I don't scream in fear or make any other sounds of fear, and if I'm in danger I don't move toward people for safety; I move away from them so they won't get in my way, and all of these reactions are instinctual, not learned.
Something is definitely missing.
