I would like friends but the people that I can't relate to more and talk to better are all like 30 to 50 year old men. I know that sounds odd that a 19 year old girl can have a better conversation with a 30 year old guy with a wife and kids than with her own peer group, but it is a strange relatity. I meet these people who go back to college and I take classes with them, but nothing outside of the class room since that is socially unacceptable, and I am not good at maintaining friendships outside of the original context. But at least I have someone to talk too.
But my own peer group, I just can't understand them sometimes. Talking about the most mundane things like shoes, manicures, who's hot, who's a b***h, all that crap. I can never have a conversation like that.

There is also my boyfriend, who took the online Aspie test today and he came up as "most likely an Aspie". go figure. Maybe that's why we get along so well...
Yeah my boyfriend has quite a few aspie traits as well and I tease him about it. I think why we get along so well. We both share an reluctance for interacting with people, although he is much better at it, he understands when I am uncomfortable and automatically knew what situations I don't want to be in. Like I found out for quite some times that his father has been wanting to have lunch with me for quite some time, but he has said no for me without telling me about the situation. And I am so thankful. And ironically his father is a counselor for people with autism. haha. So thank god for aspie boyfriends.
