Anyone else on here just a normal, non-autismo dude who's just into fitness?
I've got my life at least somewhat together: Married to a beautiful girl, just moved to a new city, can function normally in most social situations. Just wondering if everyone on here is a retarded autistic dickhead or if there are normies in the great unknown abyss.

30, married, a lot of friends, never really had a problem in social situations. I just prefer this forum for fitness, is all. Don't even go on other boards, except maybe /out/.
i'm non-autistic in that i can talk to the woman at the checkout counter i guess
but i'm still a 24 year old KHTV

/Gif/ is gr8 for a wank when you're ready. /b/ is fucking cancer though.
How do u go about making friends?
Let's say (god forbid) all your friends died tomorrow, how would you make new ones? I'm near your age and my only real friend is my wife, who has many friends of her own and doesn't wanna go out to meet new ppl as a result. So I'm stuck friendless unless I go do it myself. Halp?

Engaged, ph.d, socially functioning, so I guess you're not the exception.

That's not how it works....
>>37663948
That's exactly how it works

Carefully and methodically choosing all your words and analyzing how other people interact to make yourself more presentable is pretty fucking autistic anon.

>analyzing how other people interact to make yourself more presentable
Literally everybody does this. It's how people learn to function in society. Except for autists.
>>37663988
That's how people work. Autists are unable to analyze subtle hints etc., whereas everyone else does it subconsciously. When it comes to conversation literally everyone picks and chooses what to say based on the situation/who they're talking to/what's their goal.

Happily married, pursuing an interesting career, with time for hobbies. Never had any social issues except early elementary school, cause I used to be a prick to others, thinking I was better than them. Got out of it pretty fast.
Life's good.

would you say you got out of it faster than most people
Long term gf (5 years this week) but my friend group is slowly drifting apart. At a decidedly meh job that has nothing to do with my major. Oh well, at least I'm getting a new (used) car soon. Gonna take some GIS classes in fall and retry applying to jobs in my field
>happily married
>have kids that I think are amazing
>moderately successful job
I was a huge autistic sperglord Fedora in high school and uni but transitioned out of that when I entered the real work force.
I honestly doubt every autismo on this board has ever left their parents basement

That's really hard to judge. And it's a process that is still ongoing - you need to do constant reality checks for yourself, not to fall into the same thinking, especially if you achieve something. So it's never totally over.
