Aspies For Freedom

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I know it's difficult to read. Is there anyway I can edit my first post so I can put spaced paragraphs in it?

Thanks for the welcome! Yeah, sometimes when they ask "how was your weekend?", I'll just say, "It was okay." Then the conversation will end right there. But as for when people say "What's up?" I don't really have any idea how to respond. Sometimes I'll just say, "Nothing much." I try to avoid these conversations anyway, because I have no use for small talk. I don't see the point in chit-chat. And yeah, I can make direct eye contact for a few seconds at a time if I conciously will myself to. It makes me feel uneasy, but I try.

Yeah, false friends are a bad experience. You think it's real friendship at the time, and it hurts when you find out they were fake all along. It's very detrimental. That's why it becomes even harder to make new friends. You don't really know who you can trust sometimes.
