BennyDACHO How does Asperger's affect noticing social cues? If it's someone you've spoken to before you should be able to figure out how they act when they are not interested or if they are.
Kosti Antonenko just the tip (if you consider just the sentence, it's a sex joke but if you consider the burning part in the other comments, it becomes a weed reference. stand-up comedians can eat shit, I'm a genius)
Completely pointless and unrelated: That moment when you're making small talk with a total stranger and you realize neither one of you wants to be in this convo. XD
@@lennertvandyck5185 If you remember that one awkward encounter from a long time ago, then I'm assuming you don't have many of those in your life in which case consider yourself lucky. For some of us, everyday is a 10 minute skilift ride with our distant uncles.
I do that thing where I kinda awkwardly shuffle around not knowing many people at a thing and then I overhear an awesome conversation but have no idea how to join without just awkwardly hovering and death staring at them
I have so been in these situations, but CH actually made it worse. Being trapped in a boring conversation, while at the same time having to listen to and smell the persons feces... ffs!
Patrick Choe Smell the persons faces? No, I definitely meant feces. That's the part that CH made worse. Being trapped in such a situation, but even worse.
oof, you don't know what a bad conversation is unless you meet that guy/gal who always, every single f*cking time talks ONLY about how much their life sucks and how they have a chronical illness and how they think people are abusive towards them - i mean, it's probably okay to bring that kind of things up once, at some point, if it's to a close friend. but not every single time one accidently crosses paths with an acquaintance, more close to a stranger... talk about TMI... I know such a person, and even if I desperately try to dodge, brighten the mood and change the topic, it's like talking to a wall. A real creepy, grey wall of eternal negativity. A black hole of doom and despair that tries to suck you in with every word spoken. Once you exchanged a few words like "Hi, what's up? " - it's over. There is no escape...you're doomed. I don't wanna sound like an asshole, but that person, to me, is a stranger that hangs out at the local game stores. =__= Why would they tell me that shit, and attempt to make it the main topic of conversation? I'm not a physician.
As an aspie, I put people in Emily's position all the time, but find it very difficult to tell. Why do people not just tell you that they are bored? It would solve so much!
Because its hard to find a way to tell someone your boring them without hurting their feelings. Even though some people can take it better than others, there's always a possibility that the person might make additional underlying assumptions about what your assertion meant and jump to more hurtful conclusions. That's why it would be best to express your sentiments in the clearest way possible and hopefully in a way that they don't get offended and defensive
HALL9000ish I dont know about him,but most psychiatrists are horrible.They are the worst doctors and that is saying something.They would lose their jobs if you were to be cured(even though there probably isnt anything that wrong with you)
Back in college I lived in a house with three friends and we’d have parties fairly often and this sort of thing would happen... all you got to do is turn it into a walking conversation as you bring the person to the other group and merge both groups.
So basically, she dumps the guy like he was garbage because she thought someone was more interesting, then after finding out the first guy was the best thing she had, she returns to him. Girls...
My God I have been in this situation too many times. Sometimes I just casually respond to the interesting conversation or laugh and then sneak my way into the interesting convo while leaving the boring convo without making it seem suspicious
What I really hate is when I'm in a group enjoying listening to the conversation and the person next to me starts a side conversation cuz he's bored. WELL NOW I AM TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sometimes it is acceptable to be like "I'm sorry, I just don't want to talk with you right now. This doesn't mean I don't like you as a person - I even consider you friend. I'm just not as invested in this conversation as you desire or deserve." Honesty doesn't have to be brutal.
morbidchid Nope, do it all the time. You see, friends (real ones, at least) respect the boundaries you set up. Mind you, this is a two-way street. I've had this exact exchange with friends before, and they appreciate my honesty. They would rather have somebody who is real than somebody who is fake.
pxmonkee I enjoy my life because I never have to reaffirm to my friends that what I'm saying "doesn't mean I don't like (them) as a person". You should always reconsider how you are wording things if those words have to follow what you say, buddy.
morbidchid I'd rather say what I mean and mean what I say. And let me be clear - there is no underlying context when I say things - my friends know to take what I say at face value. This also means that they know I won't lie to them, or bullshit them. I suppose they appreciate that.
"Did you know that you can give the Heimlich maneuver to a cat?" Why does that seem like something that I would be interested into too? Lmao It's so random.
I’m not sure which speaker I relate to more. I often tell mundane stories, but I do have a vast array of bizarre life experiences that I tend to talk about as well
You know what's really obnoxious? When the bad conversation ends and you join the good conversation and the person from the bad conversation continues to talk to you and when they realize you aren't listening the start repeatedly saying your name
I know how hard it is to be stuck with a person in a boring ass convo and hearing the cool guys going on about awesome shit that sounds way better, it's hard. You can't just leave the conversation but man is it tempting
As an introvert, I don't know if I really understand. LOL. If I am able to hear all those conversations happening around me at the same time - which I would be able to If I try hard enough - I think I'll drain so fast, I'll be out of the door in no time.. The restroom excuse is a really bad one. Usually, I make up something like, "oh my gosh, I just remembered I have to call my (mom, boyfriend, sick grandmother, etc). If they don't let me go by then, I can pull out the "I thought you were a good person but it would be inconsiderate if you didn't let me go" card... which is not very nice, but I have used it sparingly in the past. Plus, if I like the person/people, I try to pretend enjoying most of the activities they enjoy when I'm around them. Most of my friends are more introverted than I am, but with similar interests, so it really works out.
I used to have a friend who would mention a new book or tv show she was into and I'd do the obligatory "oh that's cool, what's it about?" and she'd launch into telling me the ENTIRE plot, with details and backstories and family ties which could sometimes take her days to tell me! The other people in the room would be having a great conversation and I would be able to zone out of the plot of Game of Thrones (before I'd had a chance to read it) and listen to the better conversation instead but then I'd have to be careful not to laugh at any jokes or anything because my friend would notice I wasn't listening -.-
Omg... every time my mother-in-law starts talking to me during a family get together... and I just want to migrate to the conversation between my husband and his dad... because it's infinitely more interesting.
Talking about scripts is only interesting if it's between two writers. I make sure to only tell people what my screenplay is about if they are adamant about wanting to know. I try to sum it up with a few sentences and just the basic idea as not to bore them, and even then it ends up sounding shitty when I try to verbalize it.
Lmao this is basically me in my friend group listening one of my boring friends bc i dont wanna be mean while my other friends talk about sour cream 😂😂
Whenever this happens to me, I just start talking to the person I'm with about the conversation the other people are having and how we should totally eavesdrop.
