    How to have more emotion and appear less formal when talking?

    I don't want to be disliked when conversing. I want to create a good impression of myself.

    How to have more emotion and appear less formal when talking?

    I want to learn how to mimic the NT way of talking that's mixed with some smile and some laughter. I never used to smile much and I have a formal way of speaking which upsets people. A person told me that smiling and showing some emotion will significantly improve my conversations and I want to...

    How to have normal social interactions?

    Yeah I end up talking a lot about math or black holes or AI. I think I understood a mistake I'm making. I'm ignoring a lot of stuff when determining what they'd be interested in talking about because I would be so disinterested in them that it doesn't even strike me that others could be a lot...

    How to have normal social interactions?

    Are there good youtube or otherwise training resources which really start from basics like body language, eye contact, tone, how to say and what to say etc? I've read books such as "How to make friends" but all those are too advanced for me. An advice in that book was to make other people talk...

    Is this an autism related sensory issue?

    An aspect of social interaction which had been bothering me from childhood is that I don't listen to things properly or atleast can't fully interpret things even if I'm listening well. I've always had this weird habit of repeating movie dialogues in unrelated contexts as a kid. But most of these...

    Socially extremely impacted but repetitive behaviours are not that impairing.

    Warning- it's going to be a long post. I'm researching all I can about autism and I highly relate to the social experience that people who are on the autism spectrum describe. There's almost a blindspot for me when it comes to sensing social cues, reading moods of people or determining...

    Relate to the "routine" part of autism but in a weird way. Is this an autistic trait, or is it something else?

    So I relate to routines when it comes to autism but not in the way it's described. Like for example I'm on a meal plan in the university and I don't know 90% of the food items there because I eat the same food items all the time. But I wouldn't get upset if I had no choice but to eat something...

    Is it an autism thing to see connections that others say don't exist?

    Yes it is. Weirdly enough I'm quite bad at seeing connections when it comes to understanding jokes and sarcasm but there are connections which I see that others don't and it becomes a problem in conversation because the other person gets confused until I fully explain it and then gets annoyed...

    Is it an autism thing to see connections that others say don't exist?

    A very serious problem for me in social interaction is that let's say there's a concept A and concept B, I tend to see a connection that's "obvious" for me and I speak about it normally. 90% people I interact with however either say that the connection doesn't exist or that the connection is too...
