ScienceGeek Report post Posted November 20, 2007 An ex-acquaintance (can't really call friend, don't have many of those), threw some nasty comments my way in an email. Apparently conversing with me was a chore as the conversations tended to be one-sided and the subject always went to me and my latest obsession. According to this ex-acquaintance I don't care about anyone else and everything is about me. My hugs have no feeling in them, well sorry if I felt really awkward and don't know how to react to people, sorry I don't get subtle hints. There was a whole lot more, but I just can't be bothered to type it all up, I'm sure I'll over analyse this later when I'm supposed to be sleeping.

Clare63 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 Well there you go you answered it yourself "ex - acquaintence" !! True friends don't make nasty comments but are supportive and understanding, that why I think you find that most people including me only really have a very few real friends. Don't let it get to you. You communciate very well on here and are a pleasure to have around. Clare x x x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bard Report post Posted November 21, 2007 There are a couple of threads in the post adolescent section on being married to an Aspie, where several of us discussed all the positives about such a partnership, as well as some of the less easy areas! Don't over analyse, consider why this person is an ex-aquaintance and move on. When I first met my OH, it was the level of knowledge that he had about music and art that attracted me. The fact that he wasn't used to being hugged...intrigued me! <'> ' This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.'

bikergal Report post Posted November 22, 2007 I often feel extremely lonely and isolated but I do seem to have one friend at the moment. I'm not great at friendship. Try to put it behind you <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted November 22, 2007 That nasty email says far more about the person writing it than about you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
