Nice people do exist! :)

Post Reply New Topic

Random thread but since most of my posts seem to be about annoying other people or not understanding them, I wanted to post a more positive one based on an experience I had last week. I was really confused about a situation where a friend had stopped talking to me and then a (closer) friend had also stopped talking to me and I thought the two were linked but wasn't sure, and seemed to be making it worse. I texted a woman I'd spoken to a few times about it to ask if i could email her for an opinion and she said I could come round for a chat. She was really nice and really helpful, and I got a lot out of talking to her. It was so nice to be able to talk openly to someone and not have them think I'm weird or annoying. She's not a 'friend' because she's a parent of some people I know but she's really nice and very supportive, and listens when I talk to her without judging or thinking I'm weird. And I think she'd say if I was annoying her so I feel more comfortable around her because I'm less scared of getting it wrong. She also knows about AS (she noticed when she first got to know me) and it's not an issue at all, and was actually a relief to be able to talk to someone without feeling you have to hide things or that they'll think you're weird. Just wanted to let people know that there are nice and non-judgemental people out there!

Of course nice people exist! They can sometimes be hard to come by. I have had the luck to meet quite a few nice non judgmental people in my life as I can be very socially awkward.

Glad to hear you met a nice person!

LOTS of nice people right here on WP! even met one IRL!

Yes, that's very true! Just harder in real life :p

They're more common than you think

yes, I met alpineglow here on WP, which was akin to me winning the lotto. never thought it would happen to me. it seemed to be an insurmountable barrier [me actually connecting with another person, either in real life or on wrongplanet] until it miraculously happened to me.

This makes me very happy!

That's great! Can definitely relate, seems like a massive barrier and even if it does happen it never lasts and usually I don't know what went wrong. Glad you've managed to connect

now to help every other person [who happens to be among those who want the same thing], to get connected somehow

I've met a lot of nice people in real life, who will pretty much understand anything and anyone. Perhaps I'm lucky but as a nice person myself, I tend to meet similar people.

then, out of curiosity, why do you call yourself "wrongway"?

I can't remember the reason, probably just something I happened to think of when I signed up. I guess cause things do go wrong for me, like I do meet 'bad' people, even though I was just talking about being able to meet 'good' people.

I tried to sign up here as "abby normal" [my username on other sites] but for some reason went with auntblabby instead. I guess I wanted people to be more comfy with me, and if I were abby normal [IOW "abnormal"] it would scare people off.

I work with a lot of nice people. Almost everyone I work with is nice. I am friends with some in my company's Calgary location too.

I think I'm nice, or I try to be anyway! I work with 9-11 years olds a lot (school and childminding) and I have no problem getting on with them, and they seem to like me. I just find it hard with adults because I usually end up annoying or boring people without meaning to. I've also realised that being nice (eg doing things for people etc) isn't always a good thing and doesn't necessarily make people like you- at school, I used to do a lot of people's homework because I thought it would make them like me but it didn't and I got into trouble for it, and I do a lot of voluntary work which I like and most of the people are fine, but there are a couple of people who will take advantage of it. My problem is I don't usually notice until it's been happening a while and someone else points it out, then I have no idea what to do because I hate upsetting people.

That's good you found a nice person to talk to. I myself am a nice, kind, caring person too, except I just never had "permanent" friends around (recently I got betrayed for something I didn't do). But that's great for you!
