Fear of smiling when saying sorry

dunk-in-biscuit

Sorry folks this may sound a really stupid thing.

When I find myself saying sorry to someone (meaning it not just polite twaddle) my mouth feels like I'm going to smile or lear. It really scares me as it is the last thing I want to do as it would really upset the person.

It feels like I don't have control over my facial expressions or at least that I fear that I don't. I've felt like it for years and years but never associated it with aspergers.

Am I the only bod on the planet who feels like this? I would be interested if others have related issues about expressions.

  • Totally agree with that. About the only humour I laugh at is situational comedy and the more ludicrous the better. But as you say life also presents itself in the most ludicrous situations which just makes me disolve into laughter (which totally baffles folk around me because I won't have laughed at anything for months). 

    Have you ever noticed how "normal" folks constantly take the mick out of each other and ridicule others, yet the one time they do something really funny (if unfortunate) they get really offended. You know, I'll stick to my own world where you laugh at whats funny and gloss over whats basically just scoring points by insulting other people.

    Thanks for both your replies. I do appreciate it.
