Aspies For Freedom

A conversation i had:

<android> where did you go?
<fred> Anna came round
<android> what did she come roudn for?
<fred> Just came round for company
<android> why did she want that?
<fred> Why not?
<android> seems strange
<android> why did she come round?
<fred> Just for company!
<fred> As I've been saying, some people find a lot of pleasure and enjoyment being around other people
<android> what did she do when she arrived?
<fred> We just sat and chatted
<android> about what?
<fred> Nothing in particular
<android> please list what you talked about?
<fred> Not only can I not remember exactly what we talked about (no surprise there) but it's also none of your business anyway

What is the point in talking to somebody if you then cannot rememember what you talked about? This makes no sense at all.

androidbeing, he may be being coy/shy because they talked about something romantic and personal, I pick that up because he says 'its none of your business' in reference to it.

What things would count as romantic and personal? and why wouldn't they say about these things?

The word romance is in the dictionary, so thats quite easy to find.

Personal are thing relating to the person that they often keep concealed from strangers, such as they might have diarrhea and not want people to know. Or  something like their credit card details that people shouldnt know.


How do you know this friend of yours?

People (NT) like the feelings they have when in company with others and talking about nothing important (like chitchat about the weather or who wants to go on holiday where or the last flu they had).

Because it's a feeling they get out of that company, it might not be easy to understand for an aspie who would not enjoy such type of talk. It's something we just can accept as a matter of fact.
