Reading Emotions

Post Reply New Topic

I've not been very good with emotions therein, I have chosen to avoid relationships for, I'd not want to make myself look like an idiot or make the other person feel as, if they've aligned themselves with some cooky person from planet stupidtron or such. Yes, I realise this is being self-deprecating however, it's my own personal thoughts. Still, I try with a good heart with hope that a potential relationship may come about through hardwork..

My whole life I have had monor difficulties reading others emotions/faces. A few times this has coused difficultes. I once assumed when I was 14 that this kid who was my sisters friends brother was making fun of me, I lashed out at him, but my mom witnessed it and scolded me for being mean to him, i thought he was messin with me, but he was really just saying hello.

Now that I think about it perhapse its not so minor, afterall I usually by default reapond in a nice way to people at first anyways wether thats the appropriate response or not. SOmetimes they may be poking fun at me and ill just go with it cause I dont want to lash out at an innocent person again, lesson learned. However after a while (typically at school/work in the past, sometimes now) ill be gettin screwed with and after a while ill recognize it and then make an appropriate response.

I would say this is one of the more serious remanants I have of my HFA from when I was a child, never did this really imrpove.
