I once went to these street dance classes, people would randomly smile at me and say things to me, made friends too easily, I thought this was great. Then I realised 90% of people there were "simple-minded" people, as in people with learning difficulties. Not saying I hate these people, I still keep in touch, but need to be around people and be friends with those who are on the same conscious level as me, it's nice to have a cat, but it's not a human.
No offense to those whoa are simple-minded, but I will never sugar-coat anything, that's not me.
Wow.....
Just because someone is "simple minded," as you put it, doesn't mean they aren't human and it doesn't mean they aren't intelligent.
I know MANY people who have NO disabilities and are less conscious than disabled people.
I dont think he meant it bad.
I would say its normal you wont friends you can have a conversation with and tell jokes to. On your own level not the level has a child.
To be friends with someone you have to help cross a road and cook for because they have got the mental capacity of a 10 year old or younger is not rally an even friendship.
Still it does say a lot about him that he would still remain friends with them.
That to me shows his decent and not judgmental. It does not mean that he should feel guilty for wanting friends with people his own aged thinking has well tho.
I just thought you where a bit harsh on him and maybe misunderstood what he was trying to say.
