It's OK, my initial post isn't uberly serious.

So let our minds wander!

I mean yea, I do suck at expressing how I feel about people or rather care. The article even diss caring! LOL. It's somehow lower than feeling!

But anyway. I do care. I have even been told I need to care less! Yea, I do suck at the occasional hug and saying "aww" and connect at that level. I am indeed the Sheldonian type that will instead bring you a hot beverage when you need comfort. But is that just bad? Or does it create a balance in the world? Some people being awwers and some people being tea bringers?

When I care or help I express myself actually doing something for the person. Sometimes people don't need a fixer, but well... sometimes they do! And then the awwers can aww while I actually help with the real problem.

Don't get me wrong, I don't diss NT empathy either. But maybe we just need both NT and aspie empathy in this world.
