| No I never liked doing that. I have been made to feel stupid before and it didn't feel good. If I got picked on I just picked on the other person back so they left me alone mostly. |

| Can you give me an example of what you mean? Like a really short dialogue of a situation that made you sound this way? I have to see what you are saying to see what it is you are doing that would make someone feel this way. |

| Definitely do not play hard to get. :| JUst ask her casually if she'd like to meet up for coffee or to go get ice cream and ask her questions while you hang out. Nothing too personal but more like what she does for work, if she's at university then ask her what she is studying. Don't be scared to as... |

| Yeah he's admitted it and you are right I shouldn't be bothering with a person like that however he's not the only one at fault I have a very low threshold when it comes to having a temper but the difference is I respect his boundaries and he has no regard for mine and I let him get too close to me ... |

| First of all I've known this dude for 3 years and during that time we've talked pretty much every day and bonded except there was a point where I had a crush on him because he kept on sending me confusing signals making me think that he liked me for more than just a friend but not really the case.

| Eh because it looks like attention whoring I guess. Autism is something you need a real diagnosis just like any other mental impairment I guess. On another forum that I visit there were a few people who used Autism as well as being suicidal or some other thing as an excuse for their weird behaviour ... |

| Eh I have ADHD and as a child I had lots of meltdowns. Mostly from being overwhelmed by things and not knowing how to settle and get started with tasks or just too much things going on around me so I couldn't focus. Its super annoying even now when I'm trying to do something that takes concentration... |

| Hmm yeah, I've heard that before that the person with ADHD is just lazy or has no self control if it's a kid then they are badly disciplined but what they don't realise is no matter how much you say to a person with ADHD to stop fidgeting or like in my case "look at me when I'm talking to you&q... |

I've probably cried more than a lake's worth of tears in my life time. I think the worst was when I had to move away from my old town. I cried a ... |
