Assume neutral/positive intent.
Be kind.

Then people will be much more accepting of whatever quirks that you may have.

Thanks guys.

I'm just wondering if there's a short cut to understanding people when I seem to be unable to.

A lot of the things you all have mentioned are not common sense to me. :cry:

It isn’t easy but it isn’t impossible. I am honestly amazed with my own people skills. I grew up isolated and very sheltered. Hell, I never had a friend over at my house until late HS.
I think even the most severe case of autism would have responded to my attempts to interact with other humans with a “ Dude, WTF is wrong with you.?”
But with time and many, many failed attempts, I learned on my own. It became much easier once I got out on my own away from family, I don’t know anything about your family but mine were very stifling and tried very hard to keep my from learning about the outside world.
Maybe yours have a similar effect on you, whether they intend to or not. I think it’s only natural to question everything when you have little opportunity to learn outside.
