Have you ever encountered a know-it-all to the point where it gets annoying?

I understand you don’t wish to continue down this vein, but I am uncomfortable with anyone else reading this who may have misunderstood me as well. So I would like to clarify a few things.


That is not what I meant when I said understand an emotion. I literally meant what I said. Understand it. Emotions mean something and getting a better idea of that meaning in my own life is valuable to me.


To me, of course! I only used sadness as an example because that’s what we were talking about. But all emotions need to be processed.


This is close, but not exactly what I meant. I mean that the human experience involves thinking. Our brains are very complex and an important part of what it means to be human. Emotions occur in the brain as a reaction. Processing occurs in the brain as thinking.

We are made up of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The feelings (emotions) are not in our control, our thoughts sometimes are in our control, and our behaviors are a result of the previous two. Our behaviors are usually within our control.

It is evident that we think differently here. That’s what conversing in a public forum is all about. Sharing ideas. I have different ideas than you and that should not make either one of us feel threatened. It’s okay for ideas to be different and also to be shared.

It’s just conversation. Just discussion. What the forum is all about.

I don’t want your clarifications. You are using them to cross my boundaries. I’d rather just let everyone else not understand what you’re saying and let it be without having to constantly talk down to them. Seriously it is a drag and a waste of my time.

On your first reply, I am not a literal person, so I will code what you say, literal or not. When you say it is literal, you are talking down to me, and you are expecting me to see things your way. I do not see your point, it is literally just you trying to convince me that my points are just my delusions, which is overall demeaning.

On your second reply, no absolutely not! I disagree completely with what you say. Procession is again just another excuse to label emotions as good or bad.

On your third reply, you are assuming that ALL brains act this way, when in reality that is false. You are assuming that all humans act and think the same exact way, when clearly you yourself are having a disagreement with me. So it’s obvious that our brains do not work the same.

I will come to my conclusion if I want to, so I wish not to be strayed away from my original point.

I am already uncomfortable with having this conversation and I need this part of the conversation regarding off topic issues to end. I am dead serious. You tell me you are uncomfortable with others not understanding you, yet you want to continue trying to prove your point despite me telling you that I want this part of the conversation to finish.

I am saying this one last time. Please respect my wishes and end the topic. It is straying from the original topic and it’s making me uncomfortable.

Well that's everyone that's human though.

If as autistics we feel deeper that doesn't make us inferior. Everyone needs to learn to distinguish between emotion and fact. Sometimes emotion is indicative of something wrong, other times we get false positive.

Some would think that people with less emotional depth can control their impulses better or have better logic but it's not true.

Some people, myself included, don’t wish to involve emotion with fact, because facts itself can be misrepresented, this is the problem with emotion treated as inferior
