Thanks - very helpful.
Can do something about (2) ; just stop wanting that acceptance by others. that will make the systemising lower and less exhausting
I personally find it exhausting because I cannot be myself. If someone asks whether I want to see X or Y movie, I can't just say "No I don't wanna see it" without sounding abrupt, so I end up going along with what the other person wants......and that in itself is exhausting!!
I can't smoothly transition in conversations, such as ending it smoothly or knowing when to stop answering a question. I have to think real hard about the right questions to ask the other person. I never know how to look someone in the eye or for how long, how to do it naturally.
In conversations, people go with the flow rather than dive into a topic of their interest. So how to keep that flow without getting bored ...i don't have the answer. It is just exhausting to interact with people on so many levels.
