Your post resonated with me on so many levels. Having grown up with Asperger's I never quite understood "reading between the lines" until I better understood the nuances of the language and more about the people I was in contact with. This is part of the reason why my intimate group of friends is so small - because we can speak our minds. In essence: Say what you mean. Mean what you say. And they know if they ask my opinion, I will give them my honest thoughts. With most other people, I usually come with a disclaimer - "Do you want me to lie or do you want my honest opinion?" Strangely, most of them want the lie. And because of that, I slowly disassociate myself from them because I don't have time or the patience for games. It's not about being bitchy or rude. In my case, I consider it self-preservation.

i can relate. Don't listen about the "syndrome". Its bullshit. Psychology is more like social engineering rather than anything else. It takes the average behaviour as the "correct" one, where the rest have to works towards to.
