Actually, I did see this. I float around here sometimes, in the empty bored for people who do not desire to contact others.

Quote:
Because of the social anhedonia and lack of empathy I have to keep up appearances.
^ this is why I question my diagnosis on this level. I do have empathy. I'm very empathetic. I'm clumbsy at showing it, though. I think I come off as fake. I am very emotional, but certain emotions I feel like they don't come out right. Or sometimes they come out right but then they don't.

Surprise is one. Empathy is another. Cheerfulness or happiness is another. I often have people ask me "What's wrong?" or say "What's the zombie face for?" When I'm content and happy. Or people get mad because they surprised me but I don't seem excited and surprised. These things I practice. I will think, "I was just surprised," So I will smile and say "yay!" in a happy way....

Not sure if that's how this goes or not.

Sorry for rambling or if I said that already.
