| Film directing is cool, i've studied film and photography but I gave up years ago on ever working in the field because it's extremely hard to get anywhere as it's a very popular field to work in and you have to be good at talking and pushing yourself forward and be good at marketing yourself. I see ... |

| There is such a thing as only having social anxiety in certain situations. Personally I have it in mostly all situations, for example I could never have approached that man who fell off his bike and sit there and talk to him, it would've made my anxiety peak very high. There is of course also a scal... |

| I agree with abortion... Even if you can adopt a baby away going through pregnancy and childbirth is no fun, childbirth is extremely painful, so why would you wanna do that for a baby you can't/don't wanna keep? Even if you use condoms or birth control pregnancy can still happen, it's never 100% saf... |

| Bad hygenie. Thin/non existant lips. If he's shorter than me. Overweight. Young-looking. Bad eyebrows like way too bushy and big or unibrow. That's pretty much it, i'm quite accepting even though I can sound superficial at times because I have a very specific type. In general though I go more on che... |

| Instead of identifying as involuntarily celibate, do something about it. How we see ourselves amplifies how we are as people so if you identify yourself that way you're gonna stay that way. Everything in life takes effort. If you don't have any luck dating do something about it - fix your hair, prac... |

| It's a scale so you could just be lightly on the scale. I didn't get diagnosed until I was an adult after sending a referral to see a phsychologist for evalution so clearly the traits I have weren't obvious enough for anyone to notice as I was growing up. I was always an odd and extremely quiet, lon... |

| I've always been that way too. Unfortunately it's easy to get manipulated when you're honest, naive and innocent and I have always been so I learned the hard way that a lot of people take advantage of people like us. I'm a lot more cautious now and I try to stick to people who are the same as me as ... |

| That may be true but it's very general. Most people aren't as put together as they appear on the outside and have no idea what they want to do with their lives, many people just do what they feel pressured to do to make their parents proud and then pretend to be happy in social media etc. None of my... |

| People don't approach me either.

On the other hand when I approach others they neve... |

| There is nothing you can do, if she wants no contact she doesn't. I've been there also, I was very good friends with my ex then all of a sudden he didn't want any further contact. I accepted it and moved on with my life, i'm sure he had his reasons. It's best to break all contact with an ex anyway e... |

| Yes. Of course you can learn social skills with enough practice and maybe get yourself to be more social as many aspies are introverted but things such as sensory problems are for life I think, and feeling tired from social interaction in a way that NTs do not. We're just wired differently as they s... |
