And yeah, I do have flat affect and flat vocal tone. All of my psych evaluations have said that, as have all my pdocs and therapists.
My therapist thinks that my flat affect "pushes people away." She claims that I make people think I'm "uninterested in them." I'm not sure if that is true or not, but everyone says there is a major disconnect between what I'm feeling and what my face is showing. My therapist even admitted that she can't read me. She told me to tell her how I'm feeling (e.g., if I'm happy, sad, etc.). I mean, I try to practice showing emotion, but I suck at it because I either over exaggerate it or I don't do a good job at all, so I've just kinda given up and let it be.
The weird thing is that my therapist told me not to worry about whether or not I have Asperger's, yet here she is saying that I likely have it (when I asked her) and that it's causing social problems for me???

Maybe she should learn to use empathy so she can spend less time 'reading' you and more time 'feeling' you...
