Hello everyone,
Sorry that I'm putting up yet another 'problem thread' but there is an issue I wanted to throw out there and see what people think. Basically there's this person who I've been 'friends' with for about the last year or so at uni. I was often on my own at uni and this person was one of the few who approached me and started a conversation. Things have been fine up until recently, when they seemed to become quite distant towards me. I emailed them about this and they said everything was fine, they still considered me a friend, and that they were just pre-occupied with uni stuff. This put my mind at ease but the next time I saw them in person they blanked me. I tried talking to them yesterday by going straight up to them and initiating a conversation (quite rare for someone like me with AS), but they didnt seem very willing to talk. They were quite abrupt with their answers and seemed annoyed. Also, their body language seemed to indicate that they were uncomfortable and annoyed at the fact I wanted to walk and talk with them (this might just be paranoia but my instinct says something is up). Now I'm sad and wondering what is going on. I'm getting mixed signals here and there's a lot of inconsistency.
What do people think? Is it worth the effort to keep talking to this person? Have I been used this whole time? Does anyone with AS have similar experiences?
