I wonder your definitions and ideas about asocial. here's mine:
first of all asocial means a person who does not communicate with other people, which is 99 percent accepted as a negative behaviour and is not questioned about the reasons why. It is not considered as a "choice" most of the time but as a failure. On the other hand, in order to be social, you either must "accept" the existing social norms in order to communicate, or "not question them" and perform them, which might be either chosen because of the fear of being alone, or not having the ability to think and question. but in case you question them and not accept them(social norms) then you will choose not to perform them, and will be literally asocial. In this case u most probably will be in a dillema, since u will not be able to satisfy some of your grand needs, which I believe the most important to be the need to express yourself, and so.
I myself have friends that I can share my thoughts with, which means they understand what I am saying, in other words that I can express myself. but they are very few.

and ofcourse also not being able to perform a communication means asocial too, but the above one is what I want to highlight.

and also ofcourse I dont want to encourage anyone to be asocial, being social is the key to change the norms that you think that r wrong, that's another serious point.

I think although I have only kept in contact with a select few friends who i think really 'understand', i find it pretty easy to engage with others which i have to (like at work and stuff). Even though what they talk about might not interest me much, sometimes I try to gently bring something into conversation which I think is worth discussing, or another side to their ignorant views etc.
Most of the time, because I do this tactfully, I think people aren't so threatened by it, and are actually stimulated by it. Sometimes, of course, it backfires, but in that case fuck em, I tried.
If you dont feel like talking to people sometimes, then just don't. And dont worry about what they're thinking, because thats just what you need to do, and its not a problem. They'll deal with it.

yeah...that's all true well...actually the people being threatened by it is an interesting subject. if you go another way then what they are expecting from a regular conversation they get threatened.

I find it extremely difficult to communicate with other people at work, apart from a select few which I will make an effort for, the rest i tend to interact with less apart from work related stuff. I find most people are playing a game, desperately trying to be dynamic and fun so the girls will like them, and because most people are simple minded they all feed of each other. I usually make people feel uncomfortable because i tend to invoke more stimulating ideas about things which most people don't have an interest in, they would rather discuss which car they are going to buy next, or how pissed they got at the weekend.... I am becoming depressed just thinking about this now..
I admit I am an abstract thinker who tends to lean more towards being introvert and an observer, I don't really care that people think i'm wierd, i will only talk about things i find interesting, so instead of filling in all the gaps with useless shit, i will stay quiet EL P quote : "even when i say nothing it's a beautiful use of negative space"

Haha! You don't have any friends because you are a bore. There's nothing that you've written on here that expresses anything. You might be playing a character with a dupe but you do it too well.

you are calling me a bore and a dupe in order to say that you are not one, it can easily be predicted that your thoughts are surface.
