I used to, particularly with work colleagues. My "solution" was to completely separate work from personal. I not only don't look for friends at work, I actively resist the idea of forming friendships with co-workers.
Of course the downside to that is that I don't get into social situations outside of work, so there's no opportunity to make friends that way, either.
Ran across an article on RSD and now wondering if thatโs the name for some of my brain gremlins. I thought RSD was more of an ADHD thing so assumed I didnโt have it, but this article describes some of my reactions quite well. Anyone else have thoughts about RSD and autism?

Memories of...
Building my first RAID array, using a SCSI card on a Windows NT server, setting the IRQ with DIP switches on the card, configuring the drivers, installing the software and - OMG! It works!

Some years ago I had a cherry blossom tree I planted in my backyard - this was based on one of my photos of it one spring. Still makes me smile.

My entire sense of humor is sarcasm, and I deliver it totally deadpan. People who know me get it, people who don't know me are usually horrified:
[USS Voyager is overrun with Hirogen hunters]
Me: See, this is why women shouldn't be captains - they just can't keep control.
Dealmaster: Lenovoโs ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 tops our list
Plus: discounts on several Mac laptops.
True, but they're just tied up in knots about it.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
