I just don't like it when I say one thing wrong and then the game's like "NOPE YOU'RE NOT COMPATIBLE AT ALL GOODBYE!"
Like I've never been on a date, is that how it works 8u

I think to a certain degree, it does. Like, if it's someone you know and already like, then it won't happen that way. But dating sims are like dating apps/dating sites/speed dating. You judge your compatibility based on short interactions and in those cases, smallest thing CAN turn people off of you and vice-versa... after all, there are plenty more where you came from.

But anyway, the dating sim games I play will pair you up with the character of your choice regardless of your choices. The ending you get might not be as happy as if you've made all the right choices, but you get some romance nonetheless. Which I think is fair. Real life isn't all happily ever after after you find "the one", either, after all.

I don't care if people pull out in front of us.

See, that's something that could cause accidents so I will get mad at that. Until the offending car is no longer in my vicinity. But while they're still around me, I'll keep my eye on them because you never know what other dangerous driving habits they have.

According to my mom, the truck that almost hit us - she said it looked like the guy driving was drunk and said he swerved towards us on purpose.

Wat. :V I don't know. I mean, drunk people do stupid things, but I'd think it's usually more, "I can keep my car straight! Look at me go! Oh that car is swerving towards me and so is that tree."

I don't know if this will be easier but I watched a show that said people tend to like people who mimic them so maybe if you mimic their expression and the way they tilt their head that might help people realize how friendly you actually are? And if you're mimicking them, then they won't know what you're thinking and feeling.

My therapist told me it's good to make eye contact because it lets people know you're listening to them.

Clearly, your therapist has never dealt with Autistic people. For a LOT of Autistic people, myself included, eye contact is uncomfortable at best, physically painful at worst.

Fair enough. I'll stick to looking at the stems of glasses, or ears.

I remember when I was in choir, I was on stage a lot in front of audiences.
My choir teacher told us to look slightly above everyones' heads.
It gives the appearance that you're looking them in the eyes, but you're not 8u

I remember being told that, too.

Yup. Knew that. Never experienced it, but I've heard plenty of stories, and seen videos / gifs of soldiers faceplanting because they locked their knees...
