I have never really understood this. Do you mean not really doing anything? I can't wrap my head around why someone would go somewhere to not do anything. Or is it another term for going out and socializing?


I think it means to go out somewhere and sit around and make small talk with people over a couple of drinks and have a few dances. I have never been able to master that at all. Just not me.

I know only one person that way and I do not know whether that persons thinks the same, but:

If you can sit with somebody somewhere, not doing anything because everything has been done, not talking about anything because everything of substance has been said and it still feels like having a good time, then you will know that it works. May be a friend.

Any Aspergian who tries to make "friends" is no better than the average Newt. Neurotypicals and their primitive urgings are the biggest problem in the world today, and these traitors want the only intelligent people on earth to succumb to them. I weep for humanity if this is what the online Aspergers community is coming to.
