*To help me keep my mind clear when it comes to small talk, I like to imagine there's like.. elevator music playing in the background

having your focus split on something helps

kinda why I liked washing dishes when I did that. always had something menial to focus on.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like I notice or see too much into someone when I look at them. I'm pretty good at reading people, and most of the time i just don't want all of that in my head.

Noticed i try to find something of common ground or intrest. Just enough to sorta get a view on a persons personality

have to be comfortable with someone to turn that off

Like the two girls i talked to at cvs one time or another girl at walmart

Girl from walm came across as energetic, one brunette at cvs gave off a mature vibe, while a blonde from cvs gave off kinda a tired vibe

And it's all from how things were going at work too

Picking up on queues like that is good, means youre not an aspie so thats a good sign. I can still be awkward sometimes so if I don't have anything to say with small talk I just ask the other person a question thats relevant, or tey to break the ice by making them laugh

Everyone at work thinks I'm an innocent little girl and gets shocked when I curse

The innocent looking ones seldom are

One of the chefs on the line mocked my "nice girl" voice today and I gave him a venomous look and he shut up lol

Feel like people think i might be judgemental because of how my resting face is. But if they heard me talk they'd probably go "oh this kids just a fucking nerd"

I have to kinda have a sorta smirk/soft smile on my face, because my resting face always gets a "ARE YOU OK, WHY ARE YOU SAD I HOPE YOU'RE OK" response lol

Haha I had a female manager say she thought I was a boyscout after I told her a joke about getting a "Pull out king" tattoo. She started hitting on me a lot after that. At least I got away with a bunch of shit she should have coached me for lol

I just try to hide myself, I prefer most people not remember me, but the ones I talk to end up being pretty close after they kinda see how I am.

I think it really helps to know what you're into

It doesn't matter so much if you like any of the basic shit

Its good to be passionate about something. I often would drone on about it, something to be aware of so you don't bore people

``It doesn't matter so much if you like any of the basic shit``
>be me where I will talk about ticks

a worthy subject for discussion

Hey sheep, what do you like
[TALKS ABOUT THE SOCIAL BEHAVIORS OF COCKROACHES]

beats the hell out of pop culture/sports

^

I want to power drill myself at work sometimes, listening to people yak about celebrity bs

i'm glad that manager is gone

Cockroaches are the niggers of bugs

Just don't be like that kid at my lunch table in highschool "ANIME, my bottle collection, did you know scorpions do this? I want to shoot up the school!!!"

What about scorpions

👀

Knowing me I'd probably make fun of myself for being a nerd

LOL shit I forgot he was a good kid but an aspie who I'd try to drown out

Self deprecating humor is okay but don't go overboard with it. Its good to laugh at yourself but you aren't a perpetual joke

^

you do want to be taken seriously at some point

*but I am a joke*

*I absolutely should not exist* ☺

the fact that we do is maddening

I'd go how "oh god, how much of nerd response you want out of me" if it's related to a topic I'm intrested in

don't do that
