I am not sure if it's an autism related thing, but for some reason, most people seem to NEED to talk about other people all the time, while I totally... don't.
"Hey, do you know Patrik has a new girlfriend?"
"Do you remember Monica? She's going to have wedding next month! Yeeey!"
"Hey, recently I met Clara and guess what, she finally broke up with that guy she was with for two years."
"David left school and now he's travelling around the world. Cool, huh?"
Like... Talking about other people is totally okay, but I don't understand while so many people need to do so ALL THE TIME. For example I've never seen my mum and my sister to talk about anything else but other people and their lives. When I see my friend X, he wants to talk about our friend Y who is not present at the time (So I guess X and Y are talking about me, when I am not present...)
Also when I am at some family event like barbeque or something, they are just talking about other people all the time. About their private lives.
I totally don't care what other people do. Why they never talk about... I don't know...? What interesting books they've read recently? Or maybe about some interesting hobbies?
How about you? Are interested about other people and their lives? What happened to them? Who is in relationship with who now. What your cousin you barerly know studies at the moment and so on? Is it really some autism-related thing that I totally don't care?
