| I used to be very good at maths and loved physics more than anything in the world. In high school, that was the most happiest I'd ever been. I learned formulas with ease. I struggled with most everything else. I suck at dates and names. |

| I've been looking into it. I've taken a quiz here and there and have been getting opinions which have been mixed. I'm at a place in m y life where these suspected symptoms have been getting in the way and I would like to receive help. Anytime I go to a therapist, they never listen when I say somethi... |

| I understand this. It's like a never ending loop. It's weird that sometimes I look up and I've not done anything at all. I feel more of a pull to do nothing than to do something. I do push myself to do laundry. I shower. I eat. I watch TV. I have no motivation. I do get bursts of energy here and the... |

| If you do allow her to stay, a time limit would be best. Make her aware of it, sign something to say she agree, keep YOUR house rules. If she breaks them, you can kick her out. She sounds like trouble. |

| I feel like mine aren't. I try yet fail a lot of the time. There are times when I'm okay. I managed to speak in front of a camera at a gala. It aired on television and from what I heard, I did okay. |

| I don't find you a particularly controversial person. What do you like to talk about? But I want to be. I wish I was. I think a lot and just wish I could have that type of conversation with people. Most my conversations are complaints. They are also one sided most of the time. TV. Life. And then I'... |

| What do people normally talk about? Are there safe topics? How can I have a conversation without losing bits of myself? Like how can I incorporate my own interests and still hold a good conversation with others? When I talk to people, I tend to get an eye roll or someone will just stop talking to me... |

| Yes and no. I do like to celebrate in some ways. It's a day just about me! Then it's a reminder of how old I am and how things are for me at this time compared to others who are the same age. |

| I've said this to my mom on several occasions. I hate how unpredictable people or situations are. I do feel overwhelmed when things don't go as I had thought or hoped they would. Also, order to a system that flows seamlessly on a consistent basis usually keeps me on track and calm. I'm more focused ... |

| This is just one day. Call someone who would know for sure. That's not true. Not here, at least. My neighbor works with people who have disabilities. Being a student doesn't disqualify you. You'd probably qualify for more benefits. It's about finding the right person to answer your questions. She's ... |

| It may have been an accident. Maybe she's not great with eye contact. Instead of getting angry or assuming anything, why not ask? I've always been accused when really I look at everyone in that general area. Either there or towards the floor. I'm mostly straight and I've even looked in that directio... |

| I forgot to mention that part ^. Her introducing her niece to him anyway is weird as hell. While I shared pics of my little ones with friends, I could never introduce them to them unless they were like over my house regularly. So her behavior on that part was VERY odd. Also, she might have been acti... |
