My aspie’s anger scares me

And also, NTs have been training us, it took me 3 years to learn to turn and look at someone when they were talking at me, then a further 2 years to learn how to make the right noises in the right places. I practiced my "uh huh" and "mmm interesting" noises in front of the mirror, I even raise my eyebrows and smile on occasion now.

Sadly, not joking o_O

I've tried to "train" my bf to look at me when he talks- to no avail! LOL

so, this is terrible but I usually try to ascertain whether or not what he's saying is something of consequence or if he's asking me a pointed question. if the answer to those is "no", then I usually just make a sound acknowledging I heard what he said.

He doesn't get frustrated and no one gets hurt. LOL
 
I find it to be interesting that many people do not seem to make a distinction between frustration and anger. Ask him if he is angry or frustrated.
