People are really hit or miss, but computers are predictable for the most part

Yeah, people are really hit or miss.  You've got rude people that no matter what you say or do when you're around them, they're going to act in an unexpected manner like be rude to you or whatever.  You have no control on what they do or say.  You have no predictability on how they may react.  There are a lot of good people out there and there are some rude people out there.  That's part of why I isolate.  Even online the same old thing.  Especially YouTube or other boards where you're really not bonded with everyone.  I use these sites to communicate and get my socialization going and to learn how to handle trolls and jerks mentally.  And I'm actually getting better at it.

The other end of things computers, electronics, video games, and etc are mostly predictable and controllable.  If you've run into a problem on the computer, it can be fixed.  If you're computer's so bad off, you can buy or build a new one.  You have total control and mostly predictability.  Computers don't judge you.  People do.

Socialization is a difficult game to play and maneuver.  You have people with erratic behaviors that are nice one moment and no good Nazis the next.  You have people that try to pry into your business.  You have insulters or real life trolls, i guess you could call them.  You have good honest people and even then sometimes you make a mistake, but you can patch that up as best you can.  friendships are mostly fixable.  Gotta love the social game.  It's much more difficult, but well worth playing.  Probably the most difficult game to play in my opinion.  Online or offline.  More success online, because you don't see people's faces.  It's mostly just text on a screen.

So again, it's best to balance the two, but maybe for an aspie like me, just take the social game on a small manageable basis.  All in all make sure not to overload yourself socially.
