What social activities do you do?

  • None, unless you count being at work or shopping. 

    Greetings, to another Thread to which I am glad I waited until someone else replied first.

    I also have no "Social" life, and I do not count shopping apart from inviting more hostillity at myself... which is a social life for others, certainly...

  • Hello Again DC please allow yourself to count this web forum as a social activity, I enjoy your replies, never be afraid to reply first, to learn how one must try. We all make mistakes sometimes, and as you have to use an old system then you do very well indeed, I tried to use my old laptop and this web forum was so different to see, a tiny thin reply box with only one line of written text to see. Much the same as on my mobile smart phone, I am lucky as I use an iPad tablet device, I did not know how good it was until trying other systems.

    Take care DC and keep replying if indeed you feel you want to. ()x

  • Yes, I count this group as my social activity. When we think of social activity, we think of it through the eyes of nt's, but that's not our idea of fun. So we need to reframe our idea of social activity and for me, this is a big part of mine and in many ways, the most perfect kind of activity or way of socialising. Everytime I come on here and read posts, a smile always comes to my face. I love how we talk and interact, it brings me joy, whereas most interactions with nt's, brings me the opposite and I'm bored of their conversations very quickly. Not always, I enjoyed tea at my mum and dad's house yesterday, with the family. I hardly said a word but I enjoyed listening to them talking, especially when the older ones were reminiscing about their childhoods as I was learning things about my mum and dad's  lives that I didn't know, so I do like some social contact with them but I feel that this is where I get most joy from conversing. 

    When I lived in the Isle of Man, in the north of the island, there are few houses and the Internet and social media etc was a godsend for the kid who lived up there because he could interact with his friends who lived in the villages which meant he wasn't so isolated. The parents considered his time on the computer as his social time so they didn't mind too much that he spent time on the computer.
