re: #221 Romantic Heretic

What if, like me, a person is ‘socially dyslexic’ as I put it.

Not only don’t I understand many social concepts, I can’t understand them. My brain is wired so that I can’t perceive them, literally.

I was intellectually brilliant but socially retarded until my early twenties, then I finally hit my stride. It took some effort on my part to overcome it, but since then, I have had no trouble making friends, I often have the problem that people want to be friends with me and I am hesitant to return that interest.
