| I never ever call people by their names, even my boyfriend. If I need to get his attention I just say what I have to say and assume he will know I'm talking to him. Or I will poke the person then talk. I don't know why but I can't say people's names, I guess it does feel intense. So does when someon... |

| Psychopathy isn't having psychosis. It's having antisocial traits and then some. It's usually associated with antisocial personality disorder. These types of people don't care about harming others, they don't feel bad about hurting or manipulating other people and will do so for their own benefit. S... |

| I don't find stand up comedy funny. There's a pressure for it to be funny and it just isn't. I don't find jokes people tell to be funny...ever. I also don't find it funny when people fall or trip over something. Things I find funny tend to be a little over the top like the show It's Always Sunny in ... |

| Every diagnosis was invented by humans who invented a word for a group of symptoms/personality traits. It's not like the absolute truth of the universe is that if you display this or that trait you officially have autism according to the laws of Nature. The fact that Aspergers/High Functioning Autis... |

| I don't lie about little things that other people seem to lie about. I don't see the point. What's the point to anything if it isn't real or true? I have a preoccupation with genuineness. Why not just give the real answer for why you did or didn't do something. A lie might sound better... but it's n... |

| It's easier to learn another language if you go to the country where they speak it for awhile, then you learn it in a way that doesn't feel like learning and you are forced to practice it and hear it every day. You feel like you're just having fun or living life, but you're actually constantly learn... |

They're boring to me. I was watching adult movies as a young child. I am small and look younger than I... |

| Alcohol= I like it for socializing, dancing, or wine on occasions. I tend to feel a lot more sick the next day compared to most people even if we drink the same amount though so on that side it's undesirable at times. It has to be worth it. Marijuana= I like it in small groups of familiar people. I ... |

| Being nice to everyone all the time takes a lot of time and effort. Some of us prefer to be genuine over being nice and value the realness and honesty of it. I think people can see it, too. When someone is overly friendly it seems fake to me, and I don't value that. When someone is normal yet genuin... |
