Tom
Is this a caring thing to say to a friend? What does 'always' mean here?
PLEASE HELP ME INTERPRET THIS - I HAVE ASPERGERS AND CAN'T.
‘Tom you can always talk to me :) and I don’t know of anyone who hates you you’re such a lovely person. I think you just need to gain perspective on the situation you feel you’re in. Are you at home at the moment? Might be best to get some sleep and think about it tomorrow’
Do you think that the person who said this to me is my friend/cares about me?
7 AnswersFriends3 weeks agoIs this a brush off or a genuine friend?
Is this something you would say to a friend? What does 'no worries' mean here? Please help me interpret this - I have Aspergers and can't. This is from December.
"Hello! Are you still ok for the 9th? Also, do you mind if caitlin joins us too? She is visiting me this weekend as it was her only free one left before christmas. If you'd rather do another time then no worries, let me know :) "
tl;dr - Does the person who said this to me care about me?

Please help me interpret this - I have Aspergers and can't.
"Glad to hear that you're better today. But dont worry about what messages you sent and how people feel about that, if youre feeling better that's the main thing, and finding a good way to manage your stress, are there people at the uni who you can go talk to if you get yourself too stressed? I remember how stressful it could be at uni, especially at this point in the year when the focus is always on exams and assessments. But even those are not worth stressing so much about. Make sure to spend some time taking care of yourself and doing things you enjoy - there's more important things than grades!"

Please help me interpret this - I have Aspergers and struggle to do so myself?
Hi everyone,
I just please wanted to ask for some help in interpreting this particular response to one of my messages.
I think the tone of the message (below) sounds angry at me, and that this person hates me now.
I posted to someone who I once knew from school that I was lonely at uni and that I had no friends and that people were calling me names. I felt very down and under pressure at Uni when I did, and think that this person is angry at me now. Do you think this is good advice to what I posted, or do you think this person hates me? He responded:
'First of all you need to chill. You are not a ******. The dictionary definition does not apply to you because you are social and you know how to interact with people. Only you can change your loneliness. Throw caution to the wind. Join a club/society. Ignore those who insult you - you have dealt with worse at school. If you think you have no friends then you are wrong. Look up the definition of friend in a dictionary and apply it to people you know. It's not all about uni work. You need to put yourself out there and friends will come your way.'
Do you think that this is good advice, or do you think that the person who wrote it now hates me and is angry at me? Is this person my friend or have I made them angry at me?
Thank you all so much for any advice.

Psychology11 months agoHave I lost this friendship now?
Please help me - I have Aspergers and really worry about social situations.?
Does this person hate me now?
I was speaking to one of my friends on Facebook. They said lovely to hear from you' when I first reached out. We were speaking, and they responded to my last message on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, I was a bit distracted and away from Facebook on Wednesday - something urgent came up and I couldn't respond until Thursday at 12.30pm. They have been online quite a bit, but have yet to respond to my last message - they haven't even read it yet. As of now, it's 6pm Saturday.
Do you think they hate me now because I took so long to respond to their message?

6 AnswersWords & Wordplay12 months agoDoes this person sound like a friend?
How much would you care about someone to arrange to meet with them (travelling 40 minutes on the Underground to get there) and spend six hours with them - firstly having lunch with them and then visiting a museum with them?
Do you think that the person who did this and met with me is a friend?
(I have Aspergers, so struggle to interpret things socially)
3 AnswersFriends1 year agoWas this too harsh? What does 'thanks' mean here?
A friend of mine wrote 'dear suicidal bug, thanks for ruining my freshly poured glass of coke...t wat!', supposedly after a bug fall into their drink.
I imagine this would be annoying, but was this too harsh a thing to say in the circumstances? Why did they use 'thanks' here - wouldn't it have been more caring of them to try and save the bug, rather than letting it drown?

Is this (below) a cruel status to write on social media after a night out? Who was in the wrong here?
'Some strange girl was throwing punches at me last night because I said I didn't care about her life... then she got taken away by police...'
Was saying 'I didn't care about her life' harsh or cool in this case?
