| Thanks everyone for your kind replies. Sometimes, the time is just not right for a relationship. It is ok. There is much more to life than dating, or a job for that matter. Find something wholesome that interests you, and it can give meaning to your life. There may be little odd jobs that you can tr... |

| It's been a while since I last posted here. It's been many years, actually. I felt like I wasn't adding anything relevant to help other people around here. Besides, my life took an unexpected turn - a very bad one indeed. Before I tell you why I did what I did, I must add some background. To sum up,... |

| I do that all the time and I'm not positive as to whether it's related to ASD. I think it's not. Often I'll stop paying any attention to what's right in front of me and simply imagine some scene inside my head, or replay a situation and picture a different aftermath, or make up stuff that could be e... |

| First with regards to the possibility of a supernova. If it happens, it could take hundreds to millions of years. Bear in mind our Sun is said to have been once much brighter than it is now and it's still there. Therefore, this is the first reason why people shouldn't go running with their heads in ... |

| I am not the one who'll tell what other people should do, say or think. Me, I have no sympathy for bastards whoever they are, and I'll feel happy when they go down. If they die in excruciating pain, so much the better. There's no one who'll have a valid argument stating that I should empathise with ... |

| The aforementioned beverages contain high levels of sodium, which can be harmful if abused. Therefore, I hardly drink them. It's been eighteen months since I last drank any "Ades". Gatorade is the one I like best among those two but any of the "clone" brands are fine by me (as lo... |

Short answer: no.
Long answer: though I have skills some say are impressive, I'm no savant. I have dyscalculia as well, which is most severe I'm afraid. |

| I keep lorry-loads of lists, spreadsheets, text documents of every kind. Some of them date from a long time ago. However, none of those documents is well organised. I simply can't be accurate and organised, I mean, I'm really incapable of. Also, I get sidetracked very easily. While I'm writing about... |

If I can make any suggestions, that's exactly what you should do. Forget about love and focus on improving yourself and your life. Don't look for love any more. Shake the idea of love off your mind. |
