Aspergers - interacting vs isolation?

Aspies seem to choose isolation a lot of the time. But how do you reconcile that trait with the need for society and companionship?

with respect, you dont speak in monotone, there are alot of expressive vibes coming from your facial expression and tonation.

@4Teddybears Mind-boggling. You nailed how I feel. Is this really true though, or are we arrogant? I feel like I always have to second guess the way I feel about these things.

but advice to you asking it 2 years ago lol: just do whatever you want. if you want some group or people then fine. if you want the opposite of that sometimes then fine. just go with the flow, unless you feel bad not doing that something then don't do it. and Never ever to late to change your mind. it's also possible you're just around bad people. like they say an autistic person is the extreme opposite of a socio/psychopath and that medical term is becoming more prominent just like aspergers.

well you don't suffer from asperger's you suffer from people. seems like you just don't like those loud group situations. the question is why. why do people even do it and like it and i'm sure there's loads of normal people that prefer one on one for whatever reason. in theory you could say people like doing this because they'd feel bad otherwise if they didn't do it. thus it's fine doing whatever as long as you like it. not 'normal' but not not normal.

but we argued only twice in eight years so that was great

i watched your video and i can say that i feel the exactly the same way , one to one conversation i can manage but groups no way ,

and having it great only with myself but some contact i miss , and the feeling of being a person observing other people instead of interact with them ,weird

and the question about long term relationship i was together with my ex for eight years and i suspect that she also might have had aspbergers because we both respected each others private space ,

people annoying after a while,oh yes,I can relate to that,things like stop phoning me,stop texting etc.

I'm a single mother to 3 boys and its hard cos when they aint in skool I don't get space on my own,I've been in long term relationships even marriage which ended up in divorce,as for friendship I can't be bothered anymore,they take advantage cos I'm gullible (common in aspies I read)
