Do you mean in a verbal way, or some other way.

I've gotten on people's nerves before with the way I talk at times.

example wrote:

coworker (cw): It's been a really slow morning
me: No it hasn't. The speed of time doesn't change
cw: I mean the cars haven't been coming in fast
me: Well that's entirely dependent on how fast the customers drive them
cw: No, I mean we haven't had many cars in check-in
me: that's because the customers haven't brought them back yet

It continued on like that for a while; I don't remember the rest of the conversation.

I did it on purpose in that example because that particular coworker had been rather irritating.
I don't even have to try though, because it's apparently just the default way my brain works when I don't try to act NT (or am not able to due to mental exhaustion, certain emotional states, etc).

If someone is rude to me I'm good at putting them down.

It is a worthwhile skill to know how to defend one's self and keep the bullies away. But taking personal pleasure in hurting someone is not an autistic trait. It is a sociopathic trait and I want no part of it.

while it is part of me I don't have to listen to it anymore.

I found it pretty offensive fnord when you said I might not be an aspie. I was diagnosed an aspie at 8 years old. But I didn't attack you. I shrugged it Off. I Know better the days

It's not either/or. Even if you have a skill at that, you don't need to use it, and it's best not to. With or without better social skills, don't become the bad guy.

Good. Don't.

Actually he didn't say you're not an Aspie. He said he wasn't impressed. It was R2D2 who said you're acting like a sociopath, and that it's not a positive thing. He was urging you to not use this "skill" you say you have, which is really just being mean.

You were getting friendly advice from a potential friend. You weren't being attacked.

I have no respect at all for liars.

But I'm bored, Sonic!

If there was a cooking show on right now, I'd be watching that instead.
