Hello again!

I have a question. Do any of you have problems socializing online? For example, you don't know exactly what to post, why to post it, or even how to phrase it? I personally have skipped on responding to a few forum posts because I am not sure if its necessary, and i am afraid of being judged on saying something incorrectly. I am wondering if anybody else like me (aspies), or even other neurally different people, have those problems.

Thanks for your time!

I've had those programs on other forums. I made lots of post that got taken the wrong way & had users upset with me or picking on me over em which caused me to become cautious.

i have no problems saying what i want to say, but i am quite ret*d with respect to reciprocation.
i just know what i want to say and i have trouble stilling my mind to absorb someone else's thoughts.

if i did not think of it, then i am kind of blind to it.

Yes I have that problem. I just interact less online than I used to, think about how people might interpret my posts, and pay more attention to the purpose or general atmoshere of the discussions I want to participate in.

I probably have the same issue. At times I can appear mean and edgy when I don't mean to. Humor is another issue I have online and in life. I still am trying to learn how to properly communicate humor in my conversations.

I have been mistaken as being slow online or ret*d or stupid or being a troll or low functioning and my threads get downvoted on Reddit so I think I do have that problem. Also I have been seen as making threads about members here or talking about members here so yeah I guess I do have that problem. People see to see things in my posts that are not there including aspies. My humor has been mistaken too for bad things.
