Your opinion please

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've found that I seem to have cycles of where I somehow acquires some

'friends' for a while, until I somehow loose them due to something I

didn't figure out correctly as being the " correct " response to NTs.

So I wrote the following, and would like to get your opinions of it:

And then you left

You encounter me, in the dark corner, away from the rest of the crowd.

Either due to sincere effort, or due to wanting to know if what

you've heard is true you attempt to befriend.

I'm hesitant at first, like a dog that has been shown abuse more than

love. Wanting to be befriended, but afraid of the outcome as well.

However you persist, I begin to open to you. And slowly open to others

as well. In private I tell you why you found me in the corner, how I and

the word friends is rarely if ever used together.

You assure me that this isn't the case with you, somehow you will be

different from the rest. And I want to believe, how I so want to believe

that this will be different.

Time escalates, moving faster and faster. We are Cinderella at the Ball.

Soon my time away from you becomes painful, where ever you are that is

where I want to be.

The clock ticks louder, the minute hand flies forward, but I don't care.

The Ball, is all that matters.

Every time you see me, or know I'm near you say hello. You drop what

your doing, and come be with me. Time moves faster.

I begin to forget, what I was afraid of, forget what it was like before.

We dance faster and faster, the minute hand flies across its face.

With you, I begin to feel human. We dance faster, as the clock flies

even faster.

In the distance there's a loud noise. I'm to busy to hear it, the Ball

is all that's important.

The noise happens again, and everyone begins to stare.

I glance at the clock, its midnight. The spell is over. And you either

with a hysterical scream or a roar of laughter.....

LEAVE

The Ball ends, and once again I try to find out what happened, once

again I'm given answers that don't make since.

The pain replaces the Ball, I limp back to the corner, because....

You Left.

" I think sometimes perhaps people see us as 'oddities' 'novelties' and

with a lot of non aspies often novelty value wears off pretty quick

if they are surface and shallow people and just as we may be opening

up developing bonds they are throwing us away like a used kleenex

tissue that has served it's purpose. That also is perhaps another

reason, that in thier 'throw away' world we were just another

commodity and not one they were ever going to keep :-( "

I've been developing a theory on this. I think that maybe non-Aspies

are dependent on other people to such an extent that they have to form

social bonds with them. Under the guise of friendship, they

periodically " cash in " their niceties for favors.

Well, Aspies, being anti-social, aren't of use to your average

socialite beyond their ability to spew facts which most people are

incapable of digesting. Aside from that, if you hit on an Aspie's

perseverative interests, chances are no one will understand the Aspie

enough to see any value in them beyond their ability to bore people.

Lastly, Aspies make people feel stupid because they tend to not to

argue a point unless they know what they are talking about and have the

facts to back it up. And if there is one thing people hate, it is being

bombarded with truths when they would rather have conjecture or

outright falsehoods.
