I find that when people are nice to me that my social skills and confidence improve i can talk more fluently and clearly. When people are not so nice to me i find it harder to be social and my aspergers symptoms come out more. Basicly i become more withdrawn.

Basicly if the world is nice to me , i feel content with myself and i am not so stressed i get more outgoing my communication skills improve.

Does this ever happen to you?

Hmm.

Sort of.

I general people are not often overtly mean to me, but I can't tell if they are being nice or just polite. I really have no clue about their internal state. Knowing their true emotional state only happens when the intensity gets high enough that it overpowers the facade that most people wear.

If someone is being nasty, I disengage pretty quickly.

I don't project a threatening demeanor, so I don't run into a lot of hostility. I do project my eccentricity fairly strongly.

I just find if my friends are nice to me it makes me feel more happy and at ease if you know what i mean. if people are not nice to me it makes me feel anxious and out of place.

It doesn't seem to make a difference no matter if the person is nice to me or not, it's only when I'm depressed that I just tend to withdraw myself from everyone else stop feeling too overwhelmed.

Yes, very much. If I get the feeling somebody is OK (whatever that means), I relax and they'd hardly know I was an Aspie. It's been very true of partners. Once the gloss wears off, suddenly I'm fixated on my special interests again (the technical ones that most women hate), if there ever was any eye contact, it goes. In my world there's very much 2 types of people, there's my type and the other type. Like crystal children. I don't know whether it's just down to incentive or not.

The converse is also true; when you are nice to the world, you get the best of it.

Well, not to perhaps be rude, but obviously who would wanna talk to a mean person? People who make fun of me make me clam up and hide away. If people are nice I feel they are more open and considerate.
