| I have Asperger's, but it is fairly mild and does not interfere a lot with how I function in everyday life. I am also an empath and can literally feel what other people are feeling, even if they do not show it. Even if I do know how someone is really feeling, I have a difficult time expressing it, e... |

| Yes. I doubt myself all the time. I don't think I could ever be in a real relationship because I am so touch phobic and cannot handle when other people touch me, whether it's a hug or handshake or someone bumps up against me. In addition to that, I don't have that intuitive grasp of social relations... |

| I have very little amount of gender identity. Technically, I am female, but I've had my gender mistaken before and it doesn't bother me. I don't fall into the typical female role for society, nor for the typical male role. |

| Dear Jim, If I could go back and fix what happened and work over the harsh words that were exchanged, I would. You know I don't hit site members with my rule book, right? I hope you do and I really hope you know that it was not my intention to let Sil be as blunt as she was. I can't read her intenti... |

| My handwriting is oddly unique, but it depends on which hand I use (I'm ambidextrous). Most of the time it resembles the computer font Minstral. Slant depends on which hand I choose to use; that's what tends to vary. My handwriting has always been fairly good, but small, cursive-like and difficult t... |

A lot of people I've talked to picture Hell as a place with lots of fire and being really hot and flames everywhere, but I've always pictured it as being very cold and desolate... a place without heat or warmth.
Maybe that's just me and the fact that I like fire.  |

| My body temperature is around 96.5-97 F (36 C if I did that conversion correctly), but I know I don't have thyroid problems. It's been low since I was an infant. I tend to feel the cold easily through my entire body, but it takes a lot more for me to stand there shivering and unable to move than oth... |
