| Oh my goodness. I just read this thread and...this was me. I used to be a teacher too, and I faced similar problems. I was in a really tough school with a horrific working environment. The school was broke, there were no resources, a lot of the kids were completely crazy, and classroom control was n... |

| Yesterday, I bailed on a shift. My current work involves doing data research, which means I often go around surveying people. Yesterday I had a shift where I had to do that. It was outdoors in a busy location, the kind where people walk past you without giving you a second look. I have done this par... |

| A few days ago, I met up with my parents to go for lunch with some family friends. I got in the car, they started driving. While they were driving, I got out my phone and looked at it. Just one glance - and all of a sudden my mum went off on an angry rant about how I spend too much time on my phone ... |

| This post resonated with me because I was 'diagnosed' as a child, but have spent my entire life fighting it on the basis that I don't feel different on the inside, I feel like just any other person but happen to have an interesting mix of personality traits that cause me to be perceived as 'differen... |

| I cannot make a direct comparison there. However I believe I can make a few links to the situation. 1. Around the time that I first met her, I was at the beginning of being about to go through job-related hell. Long story short, this hell severely crushed my confidence. As such, I spent two years wr... |

| I have a long-distant friend who I care about very deeply. For some reason, ever since we first met, I have developed an ongoing insecurity where our friendship is concerned. It's nothing to do with anything she's done, said, etc. In fact she's the one person I *didn't* want to feel insecure around.... |

Etc etc etc. People don't get it. It's not about my phone or my laptop. It's about my friendship with one particular long-... |

| Dear N, I've been trying to get to the root of my issue that has resulted in weird behaviour on my part. I'm fairly sure that I've figured out what it is: A simple, basic fear of rejection. It is a fear I have carried with me throughout my life, ever since my childhood. I've spent my life finding it... |

| I'm not brave enough to tell her, but if I was, this is what I would say: Dear N, This is a bit of an essay that came about as a result of me ruminating after the things we talked about the other day. I hope it serves as an explanation for how I can be sometimes. You asked me if I feel held back abo... |

| Dear N, I didn't mean to make you feel endangered, I was only curious, and I am so, so sorry for making you feel that way. I wasn't trying to go behind your back, but because of my obsessive behaviour I couldn't stay away. I should've handled things better and been more direct. :( Someday I hope to ... |

| Interesting situation. I kinda think what I'd do is say to her that her understanding and support is much appreciated, along with, "Oh, and by the way, if I ever seem to do really weird things, this might be why ..." I did mention that there were reasons behind it and things that I might ... |

It's not that anything happened on purpose, but more like I ended up in an accidental situation and didn't handle it as well as I could have. My friend and I have a unique long distant friendship, meaning it's hard to see her in per... |

| I met a girl online a few years ago, and we see each other in person maybe once or twice a year. She is one of my best friends, and sometimes I find it very hard to be apart from her. I don't have many friends, so I often feel that it's unfair that someone I connect with is so far away. Does anyone ... |

There's a huge market for gaming in Japan so you could combine your Japanese skills with your love of gaming and get a job involved in game creation.
