What would reepbot say?

Yes. It's a long time since I was five of course so while I understand egocentric as an adult it comes with understanding others are also/similarly egocentric... So I can't remember being egocentric as a five year old. Therefore while I guess I accept the premise I still find the results hard to grasp. Oh well.

I can't remember anything about being five. Though I probably would have been egocentric back then considering how egocentric I am now.

That is indeed a quite interesting article. I have never felt the need to socialise with other people. I, through my own choice, have no friends and I am quite happy with that. I like being alone, which I guess makes the fact that I'm going on a coffee date later today kind of contradictory. I mean last year if you told me that I would dip my toe in the world of dating I would have laughed in your face. But something wonderful happened over the summer that helped to change my perspective on this issue. So I think that changed my stance to I always want to be alone to I sometimes want to be alone.

How was the coffee date?
Interesting - what is the difference b/w socialise and interact. There is quite a lot of 'socialising' had in this forum. There is much more control over a forum. But is it still a form of socialising?

She stood me up. I waited for like half an hour. But it doesn't matter. I think I'll take that as a sign, lol.

I think the difference between socialising and interacting is that you can interact with like the person at the front counter for when you are buying stuff, or if you have to go to the doctors. But that isn't socialising like going out to a drink with friends or playing sport.

Where would you have guessed Sally would look for the marble though?

Hard to say considering I already know the answer. But they do other tests with aspergers like show you a picture of two people in a social situation and you have to guess what they are doing or feeling based on reading their body language.

Oh rats. I would definitely take that as a sign! (Wrt you and her. Not in general). I think it happens a bit though if that's any consolation.

True, you can. Interact with 'strangers'. Where does this forum fit in interacting-socialising scale of things?

Not talking about assembly programming, Nintendo 64 Linux clusters, Septic smoothing. I'm using a process of elimination and ruling those out.

Well, I am not really sure. If I hold to the theory that socialisation is about putting more of your personal self into the conversation then i suppose I have done that here. Like some people here know more about my personal life and who i really am more than other people on this forum. But just because they may have that information doesn't mean they are not suspect to their own assumptions or outside influences and manipulations. However, there have been other times where I have just interacted with people here like on big brother threads. I guess it is to do with the type of person you interact with and the thread you post in to determine what fits into the socialisation -interaction scale.

I only understand about ten percent of that post but I appreciate the sentiment.

That is vecause you are only using ten percent of your brain reepbot.

No, that aint right.

Yes it is.

You a scientist?

I can be.

So you a liar?

I sometimes embellish the truth young reepbot for you see I believe that, in my humble opinion, that you can not handle the truth.

You can't stop telling lies. I'm going to ride Sowrast down to the shops.

That great big ugly dragon?

Yes. Now please go.

Fine i'll leave. But first I would like to introduce you to my pet frog reepbot who talks.

It can talk?

Sure, it can talk. Can't you, reepbot.

+1 FYI

Huh?

I bet you are loving all this attention, reepbot.

No, you don't know me.

Well you don't know me.

Don't engage him, reepbot.

That's it! I'm going to get my dragon.

Thank you for your kind words mooseface i am very appreciative that you have taken time out of your day to read this silly thread with my strange posts that seem a bit weird to you but to me they make perfect sense and sometimes i do wonder if i am being a bit too weird then i realise that i don't care as if i did care what people thought about what i wrote about in my strange posts that can be on the touch of the creative side because i use my imagination to fuel the weirdness that i deeply believe we all have hidden in ourselves but society dictates that we must hide any weirdnesss lest people think we are weird anyway but who cares what they think i mean creativity shouldn't just be stown away because people have no or limited imagination it just does not make any sense to me anyway what i'm trying to say is that you have a cool avatar.
 
Ah.... Yes thank you. It did actually take me a little while to find the right words (ok word) to express how I was feeling and best formulate my response so it is nice to get your appreciation. Ultimately it came down to the decision: 'Right' or 'Righto'. I felt 'Right' would have been perfect if I could have expressed myself vocally and influenced the intonation, but given at I was expressing myself in writing then I felt 'Righto' got the sentiment across best.

And it's lucky you added that last sentance to summarise I think because I completely missed your meaning in the first 90% of your post. So thank you for that.

Perfectly put young mooseface i too sometimes have trouble chosing which words to write when i am writing my many posts on here as i can sometimes be trapped between two choices which are both equally fine but i want the perfect word so i debate in my head about which word i should choose and sometimes i can't think of the perfect word so i just sit there and close my eyes and move my hands around and reflect deep inside my soul until a perfect word comes on out and makes it all the way up to my creative brain where i can appreciate its soulful perfection but then again i must ask if perfection is the be all and end all and i say no as perfection is boring so maybe perfect is not the right word to use maybe imperfect is better maybe perfect imperfection is what i am looking for.
