| @Darkstone100 Scrooge's traits are sometimes pointed as being caused by a distant father or his mother dying at birth, but it depends on the version of the story being cited. Many versions of the tale discuss nothing in his life that specifically causes his obsession with work and counting money or ... |

| Well, I mean I know these guys are supposed to be viewed as "bad guys" but I kept identifying with them because they have issues with the holidays because of seemingly ASD type traits. It makes me wonder though if thats the way they all see us, we're "bad" because we don't automatically want to do a... |

| So I'm watching the typical xmas shows with my kids, and the thing that stands out to me is that Scrooge seems to be at least an Aspie if not some other type of ASD. Here are my arguments so far for Scrooge: He was socially awkward, particularly with how to handle a girl who fell in love with him. H... |

| The one way that I managed college was by doing it all online. I went to American Public University that has an undergrad book scholarship and you can take one class at a time (classes start every month instead of having traditional semesters). You have assignments and discussion boards but no F2F i... |

| I'm a minister and do spiritual counseling, so its my job to listen to people complain, but I tire of it pretty quickly if people are just whining to have someone verify how hard they have it instead of wanting to actually change either themselves or the situation. There are plenty of times when I h... |

| No, it means you just don't know a socially appropriate way of getting rid of moody or emotional people around you. It is a narcissistic action, but that doesn't mean you have that disorder. We all do things that are self-serving, but its when you think that you are better than all these people beca... |

| The short answer is yes it is. The longer answer is yes it is and here is why: If someone is in a bad mood and comes up to you, they are not in a bad mood because they want to be in one and if they're talking to you they are either doing it because A. They have to be doing it (like at work) or B. Th... |

| I understand your point, but my line of text was just a simple line referring to a mix of quotes. I too have an ethic code... it mainly prevents me from trying to crush people to get my own way.

| I'm of the opinion that any action trying to influence another's opinion, decisions, or actions is manipulation, whether done with ill intent or not. I'm a very good manipulator: I won't deny it.
