In most normal social situations I feel like an alien trying to pass as human, like the people I'm talking to are really far away, or like we're reading lines off an uninteresting script. Is this because I'm abnormal, or because I'm not trying hard enough? I really can't tell.

I'm in Los Angeles and I feel that socially people are very guarded, especially in environments with intellectuals and artists. My impression is that people are so hyper aware of criticism that they take on an outward detachment an attitude of non commitment.

Most people aren't terribly fascinating nor are they poignantly beautiful; especially not at first and many aren't ever as they are often too engrossed in super self centered, shallow, and/ or petty things for any deeper maturity to likely ever have room to flourish inside them.

There is commonality in the human experience. Ask folks questions, based on what they say, relate to your experience of what they say as it impacts your mind, body, & spirit. Barring that put yourself in their shoes and try to navigate it hypothetically (but with sensitivity).

@IngridMouth may have a point or two to make about the variations of Aspergers known to create personality traits that you describe above.

Plus, I just think you two should know of each other if you already don't. I would love to be a fly on the wall next to you two engaging in philosophical speak!

I have both that “alien trying to pass as human” and “other people are fascinating” sense (the latter fluctuates more)— treating it like anthropology or a game kinda works for me. :D
