| None of us are perfect, really. But if you own up to sometimes doing things that aren't kind, it's their decision whether or not the friendship is still an enjoyable one for them. I'm more of a solitary person myself and need a lot of space, so I'm not someone who can talk every day, spend hours on ... |

| Some people have trouble controlling their tempers, among other things. I burned some bridges when I was younger because I was too hasty in deciding what people did or didn't mean, and thought I was always right when it came to people. Some people do hang around others specifically because they want... |

| A snob is someone who thinks their tastes make them superior to those with different tastes. A lot of people think games or books could have been better but are selective about what they say to avoid offending people and starting arguments. |

| When I was depressed, I didn't know why I got up in the mornings and did so mostly because it would be worse if I didn't. Post-depression where I don't know what to feel or do anymore, it's the same. I don't know what matters now that surviving and keeping my head down around violent people isn't my... |

| As with everything, it's going to vary. Some people might have unreasonable expectations of others and some are just not good at developing connections. People are messy and relationships are messy. |

| I played the trilogy pretty much beginning to end a few years ago when I was stuck in bed for a week. It got me through some pretty serious pain. I doubt the new game will be using the same characters though so I'm unsure if I'll like it. Shooters have never been my favorite genre so they'd have to ... |

| Not more so than usual, as I tend to avoid stores on places like Saturday afternoons, anyway. I live an apartment so if the kids are off school for awhile they might be noisy in nearby apartments is all. |

| I've always been very independent so I don't like the idea of needing to rely on a romantic partner for something as basic as getting out once in awhile if I want or need to. Whatever they are, as long as we mesh well I'm happy. |

| I don't know if I have a favorite boss, but my favorite characters are Papyrus and Alphys. Papyrus gave me a few good laughs and reminds me of a close friend, and Alphys just has an endearing personality. I don't see a lot of characters like her in the games I play. I took the neutral route my first... |

| I don't think it's openly expressed, but I suspect I'm difficult to connect with. I don't open up easily or talk about myself much by nature and some people take it the wrong way. Oftentimes when people describe me they tell me I'm quiet, or think I'm passionate or nonjudgmental to talk to. So there... |

| Spam is supposed to stand for Short, Pointless, Annoying Messages. I think the problem comes when one member posts a lot of topics that don't add too much but take up room on the front page, so that their posts get significantly more space than those of the rest of the forum. |

| I don't think it's necessarily connected to autism. Quite a few people eat when they're nervous or stressed because it's comforting or gives them something to do with their hands. I drink a lot of coffee or soda and have had to cut down to tea and water. |
