Do you "Adjust" to people?

Post Reply New Topic

For me, I adjust with my mom, my dad, and my best friend. (there the ones im most social with). By Adjusting, I mean learning there jokes, understanding there sarcasm, there expressions, the way they act, they way they would react.. etc.

I'm pretty bad at understanding sarcasm with others i'm not too familiar with. Mostly people at school and strangers. With my relatives, I'm "alright", at understanding there sarcasm. And I also know better, what to say to the people I adjust too, and how they think, and how they react.

Anyone else have the same experience?

Yep.

I can be a pretty good social chameleon. Apparently from what I have read Aspie girls do that a lot better than boys and that is one of the reasons why it is more difficult to notice that some girls are Aspies.

Yes. It takes time to adjust to people but through a lot of exposure I can get used to the ways in which certain people behave. There are some things that I won't allow myself to accept but besides that I'm a pretty easy going person.

Female too so I pick up on things more easily and can mimic certain behaviours, not like a regular person would, but things that make me stand out more. I would pick up an exaggerate voices, mannerisms, colloquialisms and certain fashions.

Yes, though it can be hard sometimes. I still miss my aspie friend's jokes only because I don't watch his shows so I miss the humor he does and he always has to explain them to me. I also have anther aspie friend who does this too and it's with music lyrics and I also miss it. But he is more of a random person. I could never adjust to my first ex boyfriend's sarcasm and teasing because he did it all the time and I could never tell when he was serious. I did tell him to stop and he wouldn't listen because "it was who he was" and "didn't want to change." He refused to adjust to people.

It really depends on the person. There might be things about a person I cannot tolerate so we end up not friends anymore.

I try to adjust to an extent to good people but I just disregard the rest.

Sometimes. When I can speak or make noises instead of hardly ever speaking.

There's only one way that I be, and that's me to everyone.

Well, I suppose there's the, "doesn't talk to said people at all" me and the "does talk to people" me; the latter is only there for people I know.

I can only do it with certain people and it tatkes a lot of time.

Yes I do, - but I thought everyone did.
I can´t quite make out, how intuitive others are, or not.

I adjust here and there if I develop good chemistry with a person.

Ok. I recognize this, but I thought, this was what everyone were doing.

Yes. Many years of being undiagnosed meant that I had to learn some strategies in order to at least get along with people. Otherwise things would have been much worse for me. I adjust my physical appearance mostly, but also in other, little ways.

Yes, I am usually able to adjust my behaviour around most people. It can get take me a while to get used to new people but it's rare for me to encounter any major problems with others in that regard.

I can adjust to most people but it seems to take me longer than other people to do it. It takes me awhile to "learn" someone and get used to them. Some people I just can't really adjust to though, no matter how long I know them.
