| I wonder if maybe I respond to "falseness" - all these people had a "mask" on, hiding their true personalities, and maybe somehow I pick up on that mask. That I get. There have been a few times when I met someone and just knew that they were absolute fakes. One time in particular, my boyfriend intr... |

| :) Not at all. It's good to remember why a relationship didn't work, in order to keep from repeating the same mistake over and over. It's also good to hear about others finding happiness. This is the first Aspergers Forum I've ever been on. It's comforting to see people struggling with the same thin... |

| Opposites can certainly attract . Someone completely different from you can be very interesting and even exciting. Attraction, however, is a far cry from being well suited to form a successful, happy relationship. I'd say it would depend on what levels they were opposite. Some differences can actual... |

| That's a cool law. I'm don't think it was describes very well at the start of this thread. The law allows people who have been violently attacked by a criminal to kill them without having to try and flee first. This is legal in California which I should point out has many gun laws of questionable c... |

The Spearment and Chamomile one? I like that as well, although, it never makes me sleepy. I actually drink it mostly when I'm studying. |

| I focus on a detail of a scene. I stick to them same scene for years although the scene has changed about 3 times. One I really liked for years was to imagine I was drawing back a longbow as far as I could and taking aim. For some reason I can't explain this calmed me down and relaxed me until I wa... |

| < Raging insomniac. Some things that help a little bit: - Use your bed only for sleeping or sex. - Take a very hot bath before sliding into bed, the cooling down of your body can be extremely relaxing. - No cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine or food for at least 4 hours before bed. (Make sure you have ea... |

| I'm saying that every group has stereotypes, even similar ones between groups. -Goths are white -Goths don't believe in religion -Goths like Rock and Goth -Goths are introverted I prove my point again. You can apply some of these to any taboo or controversial group. I got your point and agree, I wa... |

You can apply a few of these to motorcycle gangs. -Motorcycle gangs are guys -Motorcycle gangs are white -Motorcycle gangs don't believe in religion -Motorcycle gangs like rock and goth -Motorcycle gangs ca... |
