You know you push boundaries by making people engage with you in conversation when they don’t want to? Yet apparently continue doing it? And that fascinating you?
That’s very confusing to me. Uh, are you neurodivergent…?
Read the useless facts, memorize the useless facts, and have the urge to regurgitate the useless facts to anyone with working ears. That’s Asperger’s in a nutshell.
Great for engineering and programming. Not so great for interacting with regular humans.
I don’t do inane convos, however. I want genuine discussion.
I know how to read the room, and I try not to be disruptive, but it’s very difficult, almost painful to not have conversation when another human is around.
Also finding stuff fascinating is prolly WHY I have these issues in the first place.
I just want to have a conversation. What I’ve just read about isn’t always the point of discussion. I like learning about the people I talk to, mostly.
Well this is different from my experience … my whole working life I’m accused of being the antisocial one because I’m not tripping balls at everyone in the morning.
There I was sipping coffee and desiring my space for contemplation… and that is the ‘norm’?
Sorry. I’m that talker. And I’ll do it the moment I wake up, too.
I don’t know how I can do it, and it fascinates me.

The desire to share whatever new fascinating thing you read about is super strong, isn’t it

Then we’re two fundamentally different types of talkers, huh

I feel seen.
I think impulse control is a factor, they just have to talk to that person and can’t wait any more.
Are you the opposite at night?
Nope. I can literally have engaging conversation all day until I pass out from exhaustion, then do it again the next day.
You are an enigma. We should be studying you.
You study her. I’m still waking up.
