There are some questions I wasn't really sure what to pick... I don't think I have Asperger's Syndrome but I share a lot in common with people who do... who knows, maybe I do have it and I just don't know O_o

I have to talk to people on the phone at my job... I really hate it when someone calls, specially when they don't go straight to the point, lol. When they ask what I expect them to ask, I always reply with the same lines as if I was an answering machine or something... I made those lines myself to be able to speak more fluently... At home, if I have to pick up the phone and call someone, I tend to doubt a lot and get a bit nervous before doing it and usually try to practice what I'm going to say before calling... It can get kinda bad if I get too nervous and forget what I was going to say or if I am asked something I wasn't expecting...

I hate being in big groups of people and if someone says "You haven't talked all day, why don't you say something? anything new?" or something like that and everyone looks at me expecting me to say something I get really nervous and probably just shrug or say "I... don't know, whatever, there's nothing new to tell!". I can get really nervous when that happens and it's even worse when they insist "Come on, there must be something interesting you could tell"

Also, I find it hard to start conversations and when I... or someone else starts it, I don't know how to keep it going. Most of the times someone tells me something I only say "Ah...", "Uh huh", "Yes", "No", "I don't know", "Why?"

I notice little details people usually don't notice and when I point them out they ask me why I pay attention to those things...

I am socially awkward but I do notice when people start giving me a weird look and I do realize when I do something "weird"... I also can read people's gestures and body language...

I do notice when I'm not being polite and why but it's already too late most of the times. There was this time when a co-worker asked me what I did on that past saturday and I didn't want to say anything... she said "Look, I'll tell you what I did" and I immediatly said "WHAT FOR!?" LOL. Others said "dude, that's rude. She just wanted to tell you what she did" and I did realize I was kinda mean without them telling me but it was too late xD and I told them I asked that because I knew she was going to tell me what she did just so she could then "oblige" me to tell her what I did because... well, that's exactly what I thought when I asked that and didn't really think before saying it out loud :P that's just an example but most of the times I know I'm being weird or unpolite.


One thing I've noticed about myself is that I can be socially "normal" if I meet the other person online before hand and talk a lot before meeting in real life. I don't know why... I even know how to keep the conversation going and talk about interesting stuff... I don't get nervous...
Also, I am really awkward, weird and extremelly introvert in front of people who could make fun of me and I can be pretty "normal" in front of people who I know wouldn't make fun of me... probably because I don't feel the pressure of being judged all the time and don't get nervous because of that? I don't know...

Anyways, this year I've improved a lot and many people who know me have told me they've noticed big changes... I still have a long way to go but it's something :P I don't think I have Asperger's but I... probably have something similar?
