| I had a melt down a few nights ago. Ever since I explained to people why, they have been getting a quite abrupt with me and a few have even been giving me the silent treatment. Was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on why this might be happening? Its not like I insulted their mother or so... |

They actually have quite a degree of empathy due to the telepathic ability that all vulcans have to some degree. this is why the do not approve of physical contact or emotional... |

| I am soooooo glad that australians do not do the whole cheek or air kissing thing. hugging and handshaking is bad enough. The idea of someone being so much in my personal space is not cool, especially when I consider touch and physical contact to be a very intimate thing. Ick! That would be as bad a... |

| TheKingsRaven is right, aspergers is a hardware thing, not software. Sociopathy is a software thing as a result of personal experience. Research nowadays indicates that aspergers starts to show around the age of two (assuming you know what to look for). A few different research papers indicate that ... |

Does anyone have any ideas on how to turn these sad little non friendships into real life companions?
Is such a thing even possible?

| Rhea, one thing I want to say at this point is that I (and no doubt many others) greatly appreciate the fact that you are willing to consider and learn. The majority of humans I have met are either narrow minded or incapable of learning. This fact alone gives you brownie points with me :-) Re your c... |
