Interacting with people is just a movie script

Think about it. If you are talking about a certain topic, deviating too much from that topic during the conversation, and people won't like it. Same thing happens with the movie script. If it is about an angry teenager, no one will like the idea that all of a sudden, the angry teenager is happy, or that aliens land on his backyard.

If people are joking about tomatoes, you can tell one or two jokes about tomatoes. After the second joke, a third one may not be welcomed. People are getting tired of the same thing.

You are asked a question, someone expects a question. Sometimes people expect only one answer. Any other answer can get them offended.

You move weird or talk weird, and you are a bad actor. You are a character no one wants.

i rarely say more in (real life) than i think is necessary to provide the minimum amount of information that is "acceptable". people sometimes say i rudely walk off in the "middle of the conversation", but in my mind the conversation is over, and they talk to them selves as i depart.

i do not know any jokes about tomatoes. if someone was telling tomato jokes, and i was expected to remain in the conversation (like in board meetings where everyone is waiting for the boss), i would probably become absorbed in trying to formulate a joke about a tomato, and fail to hear any of their ensuing conversation.

people only get one answer per question and that is it.

i presume you are not talking to me. i think you are referring to other peoples judgements.
i do not care what people think about me as long as it does not interfere with my day

This reminded me of a character in "Road Rash" who tries to live his life as if he was a bad guy in an action movie. I"m always trying to be the good guy.

Thank you for this quick tip. It breaks things down into an easier to follow "method."

I know it is, and that's what I hate about it, it's not real.

You forgot that in the real world, just like in Hollywood, the movie script needs to be dumbed down in order to appeal to the pop culture.

So, if you have a conversation like this,

Ralph: why are you such a pessimist all the time?
Albert: it is just the way I am.
Aspie: so much pessimism can be hurtful.

It is fine.

Whereas this one,

Ralph: why are you such a pessimist all the time?
Albert: it is just the way I am.
Aspie: pessimism is actually mathematically provable. Murphy's Law, which is the main law behind pessimism, can be easily proven by Chaos Theory. The universe's entropy increases...
Ralph: shut up.

It is just an exaggeration of the facts, but you know what I mean.
