I just do, I can't help it, but I can't talk about it anywhere because then my parents will yell at me about it and me being stupid for thinking it, like my dad saying one time "this isn't Asperger's doing this, it's just stupid". I don't get why they're the latest thing to cause me ire, been around them my whole life without thinking about them, but now they're, I don't know. Maybe it's the way they're said by everyone, as catch-all words without any real definitions. Or in another example, someone saying that a sports radio show is "entertaining" when they mean comedy, but not quite comedy, so it's unclear, it's a concept that's nebulous, or is undefined like 1 divided by 0. And also a major thing is that I can't understand, these are things that now that I think about it are things I never think up given the exact same situations as others, so I can't figure out what they saw or how. And another problem is these two things and this internal confusion and other's influences are now messing with my brain and the world around me, it's screwing up everything and its properties and meanings, which is really bad since I'm going to Wonder-con this year, and now things won't be neutral or whatever, I just wanted to see the place but now it'll be all messed up when i go there with all these unknown POVs and concepts twisting whatever I see to fit their, I can't keep talking, it's all getting fluid in my mind now.

I think this might actually be important. Your mind is sending you signals about things you should think about, sort out, consider in relation to persons and situations, etc. Your relatives might not be the ones to talk to, but you can always come here.

This sort of thing is not to be ignored. Your mind will keep at it and then one day you'll have a nightmare. Best to sort it out now. There is a kernel of truth in it somewhere, that you need to deal with.

I got this idea from 3 years of Jungian analysis - it's not just theory, I've done it myself.

I don't really get the word "entertainment", either. "Fun" is more understandable as a description; it's just anything you do that you enjoy. My problem with the "entertainment" concept is that there are other things beside entertainment that are fun, and not all entertainment is necessarily fun.
