    Making people uncomfortable and not sure how...?

    Yeah, I'm able to do that with one of the guys because I don't care much about him either way, but the other guy I know is the type who's decent and nice to everyone and used to be semi-friendly to me, and in my not-so-good moments I take it personally and wonder if there's something so wrong...

    Making people uncomfortable and not sure how...?

    Lately at work, there's a couple guys who seem obviously uncomfortable as we approach each other in the hallway and there's no one else around (they'd look down, purse their lips, try to turn around to walk the other way, etc). Now they don't even talk to each other, so whatever thoughts/feeling...

    How to get a job as a cashier/waitress with no experience?

    Sorry, I should've been more specific. I think I'm more curious about the kind of resume you'd submit if you're looking for a part-time (night or weekend shifts) job. People seem to want to get out of cashier/waiter/retail position because they're "entry level," but my 8-to-5 office job isn't...

    How to get a job as a cashier/waitress with no experience?

    I keep reading this is one thing you can do if you need extra money, but I don't know how to begin. I did work as a cashier/waitress, but that was a decade ago and I have since took the experience off my resume. Also, my impression is you have to be a people person and I'm just not sure I am.

    Have to wear clean clothes in bed - normal or cause for concern?

    This isn't something I've always done, but the last few years I've gotten really weird about having to wear clean clothes to bed. And by that, I just mean clothes that I wear in bed and only in bed. The logic goes, since I would sit on the couch or a kitchen chair in my dirty "outside" clothes...

    Anyone else just not interested in superheroes (or other stereotypically "nerdy" interests)?

    Excessive interest in superheroes, comic books, video games, etc. seems to be the defining characteristic of being nerdy these days, and honestly I couldn't care less about any of them. Even in the early days of Pokemon, while I enjoyed the show I was never obsessed enough to memorize all 150...

    No goals, existing but not really living?

    Well, I think what I meant to say is I don't feel that I have anything worth living for. No family, no friends, nothing, and the little I do have seem replaceable enough that they seem meaningless. I did try volunteering as a way to help myself, but I was always too weird for the supervisor and...

    Un-PC Question: Does anyone get sensory overload when talking to a person whose English is bad?

    You know, I could barely be understood when I was speaking in my native language and was aware enough of the fact that I ended up feeling extra anxious whenever I had to talk circa middle/high school. I imagine this kind of attitude is part of the reason why. (And yes, I also speak bad English...

    No goals, existing but not really living?

    Anyone else in the same boat? Especially lately I feel like I'm just existing rather than living. Yeah I have a job, but I can barely pay my rent and therefore don't do much else. I did go to college and have a bachelor's degree, but I never knew what to do with my degree and by now I've lost...

    The odd one out. Can anyone relate?

    Same here. I had a good memory and was good at spelling when I was younger, but even then I didn't feel I had an exceptional talent. These days, maybe for lack of trying, I don't remember much and I sometimes think wierd is a word. I think lack of Aspie superpowers is connected to lack of...

    Want to keep a journal but just can't?

    Anyone else have trouble keeping a journal? I used to write obsessively and filled up notebooks after notebooks up till (I think) around second year of college. I didn't make the conscious decision to stop, I think journaling just stopped becoming such a priority. These days I would sometimes...

    Do female aspies have it easier in dating?

    Well, your allegedly subjective observation is incorrect only perpetuates the potentially misogynistic view that "women have it easier" be it in dating or life in general. It's also hurtful for women like me, whose firsthand experience is often dismissed as if we didn't matter because we weren't...

    Do female aspies have it easier in dating?

    This stereotype always depresses me. I'm a woman past my twenties and have never been in a relationship whatsoever (not even a short/fake one). Kind of makes me think there's something seriously wrong with me.

    Do you know someone you feel you would've gotten along with...

    ...but in reality you just don't? Case 1: Person who seems like my "type" in writing because we have a lot of common interests. In person, though, our actual personality types are just too different that we even have come to hate each other. Case 2: Person who also has a lot in common with me...

    aggressive eye contact

    Has anyone here had someone you kind of know always staring at you without smiling when they see you? There's this person I've been having smileless staring contests with whenever we see each other, and while they haven't happened often enough to bother me, they have happened enough that I...
