> Even to this day there are a lot of things that "normal" people do that are utterly foreign to me, like going to clubs I understand that a lot of people who go clubbing actually don't like it, but they're under the false impression that's what people their age do to have fun and they need to participate to meet people, etc. So normal person == enthusiastic clubber is false. > watching sports on TV I personally don't watch sports, but I think the people who enjoy watching them tend to have grown up with them and have a much greater knowledge and appreciation for the game than those who don't. If you don't understand what's going on, a random televised game is very much like watching mediocre language sitcom in a language you don't understand. Not knowing the language of the show doesn't make you less "normal."

I'm so ridiculously far from "enthusiastic clubber" it's not even funny. I don't even know how to go through the motions. All of the social interaction skills I've learned in the past N years all require that I be able to talk to the person I'm interacting with and hear what they say. That's not possible in a club, at least not for me (one of the problems I have is being able to follow a conversation in the face of any background noise, so in a club it's completely hopeless). I am (or was, back when I tried it) completely rudderless in a club. With respect to sports, I actually do enjoy watching the odd sporting event now and again. What is actually foreign to me is caring about who wins.
