Chit chat is boring but exchanging information can be very stimulating.
What is, does not matter. How we perceive it does. We change and withdraw our facts all the time. The world is flat, We have to bleed a sick person to let the sickness out, cigarettes are not harmful, eggs are bad for you, and on and on. We don't know anything more than what is right in front of us at the moment. And some of us don't even do well with that.
It is useful to talk about our feelings and our perceptions because it helps us to understand them better. After a bad incident, emergency personnel do what is called a debriefing. Everyone that is involved gets together and talks about what happened and how they felt about it. It has been discovered that this helps to understand things better and greatly reduces the stress these people feel. It is kind of the same thing in life. We have different experiences, it is now appropriate to process them correctly so that they are useful. Often times it is useful or necessary for people to talk things over.
I find Aspies very knowledgable, particularly in their area of interest. However, some of them acquire substantial knowledge in other areas also. Why is it so? That some Aspies feel that they don't have enough knowledge?
Is it because they are unsure of themselves.........
