They're freaking autism specialists.

To call my friend or not. Why am I always the one to have to make the first move?!

^ Call your friend.
I wish someone would call me.
But I couldn't call someone else because that's too scary, even if I really like them.
Maybe your friend needs you.
What does it matter who calls who?

Cause it's been a long time (several months) because I was sick and then when I would run into her husband he didn't say anything to me for some reason. That's how I always know I must have done something wrong, but for the life of me I have no idea what. It seems to be always my fault if we haven't talked for a while and I guess the phone doesn't work both ways where she is concerned.

Why is it scary? The worst thing is they see the caller id and don't answer. One thing I would kinda worry about if I called an Aspie is if I could carry most of the conversation. Except me and my Ma are comfortable enough with each other that we just stay on the phone with long silences while we do other stuff. I don't feel as lonely then.

I still haven't called her. It's scary. :mrgreen:

Here goes........

See? She didn't answer. Like always, so I left a message. It's just too exhausting to keep these friendships going. Back to the laundry. :roll:

I used to have a friend who would never call... said he can't call people from this phone... sure...

@nurseangela That's the thing with anxiety... it doesn't necissarily make sense.
I can assure you though, it's very real.

Hmm, I can talk quite a bit on the phone actually... just not with everyone or always.

Is there any way that I can get away from these ads on the forum? They're driving me batty!

My older cat woke me up at 5am this morning just randomly meowing at absolutely nothing. At first I though she got a mouse or something, but no.

I just made my bed and was thinking......

I have the same two sheet sets and I've had them for 10 yrs!! Maybe I am Aspie. 8O I am too scared to buy any new sheets because I fear they won't fit and they'll be made out of a fiber that I don't like. I have this 4 inch mattress topper that's the problem. I have king quilts that fit the bed great, but king sheets are too big and queen sheets are too small. I found some extra deep pocket queen sheets, but then I have king pillows. Ugh. What a quandary! :cry:

I just put some books in a bag to go to Goodwill. I'm making a definite decision never to buy another book again. I have a kindle, but sometimes on Amazon you can get hardcovers really cheap after they've been out for a few months. Thing is, I'm tired of them stacking up and then I have to find a way to get rid of them. If I just get kindle books then they can all be up in the clouds somewhere and I don't have to worry about storing them. Just not having to worry about extra books lying around should be worth the extra price. I'm so tired of seeing stuff I have lying around that haven't been used in years. I need things to be simple and clean. I can't take "a place for everything", but nothing is in its place! Me and Goodwill are going to become good friends pretty soon.

PS: My friend didn't call back. :roll:

^ I'm sorry.
I'm sure a lot of people have :roll: at me for the same reason.
I would rather have them think I'm an a***hole for not speaking to them than have them think I'm ret*d when I do.

I'd rather consider you a little "different" than an ass.
