Aspies For Freedom

Why, thank you, Lucy.

And I agree about the age group.  I think that as people grow older, they grow more at peace with others and with the outside world.  At 20, they can be pretty nervous and unsure of themselves around an AS, then they have kids and that settles them a little, as they realize they don't know everything about others, then as they get older they start to realize that people that scared them before on account of being strange are harmless.

Then, as they get close to death, they will start to notice that their opinions about other people don't really change eternity.

goodnight, Lucie

I understand what your saying about eye contact.

As for me, it has to do with anxiety.  The more anxious and distracted I feel by my environment, the less eye contact I have.

As for people being judgmental, personally I just don't care.  I let them be judgmental, understanding that their feelings about me are completely and utterly beyond my control.  The moment someone acts otherwise I do cut off contact (otherwise I get confused).

And yes, it did make sense.

For me, the more I trust someone, the more I can laugh with them.
