There was a case of a serial killer I studied once, who was a severe introvert, but yet craved human company. But because of his repellent personality (which itself was due to mental disorders), people would just leave him and not come back. He was so lonely and crazy he'd invite people over to his place and kill them (so they couldn't leave him) and them prop them up on the sofa and just sit and watch TV with them there. It was the only way he felt he could be with other people.

I know which one you're talking about -- I believe he was in England, but I forgot his name. I think a robot companion would be perfect for him.

Uber the fact that you associate 'giving' with 'rejection' I find quite poignant... I don't want to assume but it does remind me of things my daughter says, who also has Asperger's. See, for most people, 'giving' is something that's rewarding because the person you give to is made happy and appreciates you for that. But in the case of my daughter, and the other Asperger's people we've met through her support group, giving is tightly bound up with rejection because their autism prevents them from being able to accurately assess what another person wants, so even with the best and sweetest of motives, their attempts at 'giving' often end up with them being yelled at, judged or hated...

I just wondered if that might have some resonance with you?

I never intended this to be about me. I never brought up my own problems. I just stated my philosophical view that I think everyone is like this. So if this is going to be about me, then let's continue the discussion in my blog.

Ladies seemed to like Alex Murphy (AKA Robocop), too! :D

And, of course, let's not forget about these:
