Why is being direct so offputting to people? How can I get better at wordplay? Specifically, I need to work on concisely expressing my thoughts instead of going overboard with verbosity. Halp

Say a handsome guy walks in the room, introduces himself, and I break the ice with 'wow, you're attractive' just because he is and he obviously knows it and I'd be crazy if I didn't think so.

Or, not sugar-coating opinions when asked for one

I get the feeling you're just a brash asshole and don't even realize it. You can be direct and concise yet not come across as being a dick. People do it all the time.

You're probably autistic. I know the term gets thrown around here a lot but in your case it sounds like it may be true.

>verbosity
>over explains things
>gets frustrated because people don't understand
>thinks people are annoyed
>maybe people really are annoyed
>either way you are annoying and social awkward

If this is the case I'm not sure how you cure autism. I'm sure you can manage it better but you'll never be fully cured. Sorry bro.

As long as the guy is not a cisgendered white male it's okay to say things like that

Thanks anon but I'm not autistic, I'm just really introverted and haven't had a lot of social exposure due to unforseen life circumstances. Mostly depression, ptsd, and working 60 hours a week.

"Wow, you're attractive" is not an ice breaker.

Your comment claimed you were not autistic but your response determined that was a lie.
