Ask HN: How do you hackers maintain personal relationships?
2 comments
I don't believe humans are logical creatures otherwise learning advanced math would come easy (I'm sure there is a flaw in that type of thinking). Do you happen to be on the autism spectrum?
Unfortunately I'm not driven by logic and I have difficulty maintaining friendships. They are work. It takes a lot of time to build a good friendship. It takes a lot of effort from both parties to regularly check up and see how the other is doing. Scheduling hangouts, etc.

Most of the world seems to be thinking not based off of logic but through thinking patterns inherited from their environment/society. Especially in personal relationships people are generally not as logic driven. In my life sometimes my friends and girlfriend are sloppy, sometimes I am sloppy but I seem to be making decisions based on logic on everything and completely forgot my old lame way of thinking. Although I have a healthy social life, have a lot of laughs every day. I get called machine or robot sometimes. Sometimes I am afraid they are right. (Not literally!)
How do you hackers/programmers who are driven by logic keep friendships and relationships?
