Aspergers traits ?....my odd behavior

[greenstiles]

now i'm confused, not just by the joke i didn't get.

I have now read a couple of things that say people with some Aspies feel too much emotion from others, and find it over welming and thus avoid, ignore .......ie walk into a room and be over powered by all the stuff coming off people and see it as too prickly and avoid ???

Any aspergers want to confirm they actually feel too much off people some times ?

Having just bought myself an online qualification I am now a fully certified Psychiatrist.

Looking at that charming picture I can diagnose you:

Yes, it's true, everything you have read on the internet about yourself is right, you probably have a load of issues that haven't even thought about naming a condition after.

:facepalm: For the love of god, just go and talk to your doctor. Book an appointment and go and take all your online research with you and just talk to to the man (or woman).

All my ex's say I have Peter Pan Syndrome. I wonder if I can get my doctor to sign me off on disability................

If you have got a couple of hours to waste look at Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and if it can pick out aspergers........

I'm entirely unsure that Rene Descartes had seen Blade Runner or The Thirteenth Floor when he wrote that...

Not too sure about emotions, I'm a rahter "cold" person when it comes to those. I usually either don't experience my own emotions or block them altogether. Other people's emotions I do notice, but I will either ignore them or try to avoid communication with the person who's showing them.

For some reason this makes me the first person friends call when they have relationship problems. Usually female friends, because they seem to appreciate my total neutrality when it comes to such things.
I see no difference between a troubled relationship and a broken toaster. Both require troubleshooting and a fix/solution, and the most logical solution is the best one.
I guess that's why I've been single nearly all of my life and will probably remain so.

As for walking into a room and being overpowered by the amount of people : certainly. However there's more to it than that.
It's not just the amount of people that troubles me, but mostly the fact that I am constantly observing everyone's facial expressions, body language and conversations. (I do that to understand neurotypical people better and to mimic it later on if I get in a similar situation or conversation).
Lots of people means lots of info coming to me at once, and it literally overloads my brain.

Luckily I still have the reflex to withdraw myself from such situations, but I know other Aspies who just freeze and really need someone who can tell them to leave the room. They just can't make that decision on their own anymore.

That being said i have little time for small talk , at social gatherings i find social chit chat pointless also, it seems so false and surface, you say this, i say that, we both laugh, i say this you do that. Its like this well rehearsed and meaningless dance we do. E.g so what do you do, oh i do this, really that must be interesting blah blah fecking blah.
My wife is a very social creature, I can hear her at a party reciting the same anecdotes from recent events virtually word for word, she has told to me earlier that day. Once i have said something to someone, e.g i have told my wife about something that happened, it has been used up if you like, i cant repeat it as its no longer a new or unique thing to say.

This.
