Do people understand me?

Post Reply New Topic

hi! its nothing upsetting or anything in the likes of that. to some that have seen me around and have read what i post, i'm just wondering if am i getting understood, its more about the way i speak my thoughts or and even how i mean them. because yeah, i'm kind of an alien here; in some sense of course i feel out of place because i am, so i'm just on limited sections or matters in this site.

its like how you would probably feel being around a lot of NT's or in a discussion with them, in some sense you know there's a possibility that you might not be understood. so i'm just curious if my participation here, with the thoughts i post and share, is getting understood or getting across being different here and all that. because i know in a way, it's already kinda off that i'm here, right?

it would just also be great to know that i do, so i could find comfort that i dont come across as abrasive to anyone in a way being here.. i'm just also scared to comment or react to some topics here because i'm scared that my different point of views because of my neurology and my intentions might not come across as how i intended to. yeah, if you'd seen my thread "I think I like Aspies", its the same concern there, i'm scared to offend anyone. because really i come in peace.. but fortunately i haven't been snapped at yet or have caused any trouble and argument.

so, do i articulate my statements and sentiments sufficiently?
anything you don't understand? or "anything you'd like to ask an NT?" *link

You do fine.

thank you wavefreak58! and i really love your signature.. its just because i know that i may not understand others the way they wanted to be understood too. and also the way i talk especially to my aspie, i dont want to be just a rabbling.. anyway hope you're all well..

Not understanding is a human thing. It happens that in certain areas aspies are better at it than most. That, and not being understood. A great deal of emotional turmoil would be avoided by a simple acknowledgment of this basic fact.

wow! i never thought of that and that's very true! you're so cool!
thanks for putting that into my awareness! that would help me a lot!

I understand you.

Yey! Hi CockneyRebel!! Thank you!!
i think i really have to work on my confidence or something..

I don't know that I understand 100% but I get "enough". I also appreciate your NT perspective to many of these topics and your obvious "respect" for who we are. I think that is a very valuable contribution to our board.

Better grammar would be good, also the plethora of emoticons becomes a bit distracting from the meaning of your words.

Otherwise your fine

hi kfisherx! nice to kinda meet you.. is that you in your avatar? you look pretty and nice..

i never actually thought my contribution here as valuable, i just thought of them as "fillers" in place of what is really required or asked.
so thank you. that's why i'll be taking up masters on psychology and i'll be starting soon so i'd be equipped to be able to really help. but its not just for this site okay?! i realized that this is really my interest that i want to do.

i treat everyone the same but i do acknowledge your difference but refuse to see you differently its only the methods and approach that change which still goes the same for anyone. and because of those differences and what it has brought upon you i have massive respect for you guys even admiration and i sometimes even realize how other NT's could suck, i mean how they could have been much better as person and to others.

hahaha! hi surfman! noted. sorry, i'm not really that disciplined with the construction of my sentences; and the expressions, that's just me being very NT.. i'll tone down a bit, but i do not promise anything.. and importantly thank you..
