How do you learn when people are done talking?! !!

zelda, that sucks, I'm a social gifted NT and I could never imagine how hard it would be.

I can only think of two options;
1. Lemons into lemonade-just laugh hah I thought you were done talking. Why be mad, laughter is better? Idk if that helps...
2. Micheal de Montaigne, French philosopher advising a friend with impotancy that was in love with a woman but kept pushing her away because of his condition. He told him to be honest with her, tell her the truth. You could try the same (don't say your impotent lol), "You know, I'm a socially awkward kid and I'm bad at knowing when people are done talking *haha!"

I took it for granted. I knew, not everyone was so socialble but I never knew what isolation was like until I came on here and read about it. I never apperciated it as a gift until I knew that socialization could be someone else's bane.

I've thought a lot about the gifts I have and those I envy. I apperciate it now, very much and I make an effort to talk to new people when I can.

It's nice to be able to strike up a conversation with people and get people to laugh. I love to tell jokes and it's like a drug. Though I am ashamed to say this, I crave being the center of attention and I crave getting people to laugh so much and I get a high from it.

I do feel lonely very often and, I feel depressed very often. Most of the day, I feel like a 2 or 3, then I talk to people and I feel like a 9 or a 10.

That's what it's like.

You don't you stay away.
