| Okay, so I understand mind-blindness, but face-blindness has always confused me. I can remember that I know someone's face, but their name is what I forget. I've forgotten someone's name up to five times in one night, yet I'll still recognize that their face looks familiar. So... >.> Not sure what I... |

| Saw the small letters, noticed that it formed a letter, and went through trying to find a pattern to the small letters comprising the big letters. HH, SH, HL, LH, SS, HS. Seems at first like they're trying to shhh people in a very disjointed and abstract way. >.> As for the free cup, it's not intent... |

| Supposedly if you can still question your sanity, you're sane. That's good, I hope you find them. And you're very welcome, I hope that my advice helped, even if only a little. |

| You'll never be perfectly mentally healthy, neither will I, no one is suggesting you need to be a perfectly "normal" person to look for a relationship. All that's implied is that you should be in a slightly better state so if the depressed person you find isn't always capable of being helpful, you c... |

| As a "mentally ill" person myself, I know the need to talk about stuff. Trust me, I'm in a very similar boat to yours, I get it. I'm not saying you have to be doing stuff 24/7, I'm saying that doing some positive stuff like distracting yourself with a movie or music or whatever can do more for you i... |

| Well that sounds fairly positive. Maybe you just think you're negative when you're actually positive. Finding other activities instead of wallowing in sorrow is like.... The definition of positive. Or at least positive distractions. Well I don't know everyone would agree all the distractions we'd i... |

| and likewise I can usually smell enemies miles away. Not if you don't know that they're your enemies and you think they're your friends. Aspies are often very bad at telling manipulative/narcissistic/predatory people from good people. This can be very dangerous for women. Well maybe I should just g... |

They might be making the best of it, but is that the kind of relationship you want? That's a relationship between two depressed people in action... |

| Rough times are where you should be at your most supportive. True, and a good boyfriend/husband should be as loving, caring and supportive as he possibly can. That said, if the person never seems to change (and doesn't really respond to love and care) or refuses help the other party may decide to c... |

| That is where the being up front before the relationship gets too far comes in. Again, life isn't like that. Someone with very low self-esteem (like I am assuming you have?) can be very easily suckered in. Fragmented : thank you! Onward to free nations once again! Tequila: The problem then is, if y... |
