| I think you'll find a girl soon. How's your mother doing? She had some more pain this morning, which I believe is because she hasn't followed all of her doctor's orders, such as not smoking. She went to emergency this morning, and basically, she was told there was little wrong with her, and not muc... |

| I showered or took baths every day when I lived with my parents but I usually shower about every two days now. I have skin eczema & my doc recommended I shower every other day. The bath & shower are small here & we have to bring our laundry to the laundromat. Showering every day would u... |

| I mean, if you like hugs so much, how hard is it to say "Can I have a hug?" and wait for an answer before grabbing someone? If you feel genuine affection for these people then you should also show some consideration for their feelings and whether they want to be touched by you or not. I d... |

| As an aside: I just noticed we are neighbors! ... That is great! I seriously doubted there was anyone on here that lived closed to me. I am more than twice your age at 67 and I talk funny because we came here from northern Indiana just a few years ago, but send me a PM if you might ever want my pho... |

| I think many people turn to relationships simply to not feel lonely or distract them from low self-esteem. If someone else is there to reassure them that they're lovable, then they feel better. They just can't believe it coming from themselves or a friend. I don't think it's wrong to search for lov... |

| I'd like to know why the OP only seems to want to express physical affection towards women. If you are only ever trying to touch and hug and kiss women you're not in a romantic relationship with, it seems like you're just looking for an excuse to touch women which is probably why it's causing probl... |

| Before I respond to rdos's post, I did add some more thorough to my response to idonthaveanickname a couple posts up, to better explain my habits on affection to the board. I, too, like to show affection towards people, but only to those I like. I really enjoy hugging, kissing and any other kind of ... |

| One thing I feel is still an issue with me is that I feel like a person, definitely in my younger days, who just has been prone to, at times, doing the wrong things at the wrong time in a relationship, or even when I was trying to get a relationship. Back in my youth, when a mistake was pointed out,... |

| MathGirl, despite the fact that during most of my later years, since about the eighth grade, I've been the exact opposite of you, though I've toned my outgoingness and affectionateness down in recent years as I've become more mature, I can also relate to how you feel, because up until my early teens... |

| I, too, like to show affection towards people, but only to those I like. I really enjoy hugging, kissing and any other kind of physical contact, but only if I like the person and have a reason to have physical contact with them. So, does that put me in the minority of Aspies? Sorry...didn't see the... |

I did overwhelm him with sharing my own emotions, both what I feel for him and the hurt I had over the withdrawals. I think he's the most am... |

| From the gist of a lot that I've read lately, I'm sure there are at least a share of other Aspies who don't like being naked, or not liking the feeling of water from the shower head hitting them. Water hitting my body feels amazing but... NOT IN THE FACE! NOT IN THE FACE!! ! Haha :D I literally avo... |

| ... I feel your advice is going to be a help... That would be a conclusion of the mind or intellect, not the emotions. Do not look for all good things to feel good, and do not let Mr./Ms. Emotions do your thinking. As an aside: I just noticed we are neighbors! My wife and I are in Minden. That is g... |
