| I very strongly recommend against any service that allows unregulated or unaccountable parties to automatically withdraw money from any pool of your money you aren't prepared to lose at any moment. Awhile back I read a thread where a ton of people recounted their horror stories with Paypal specifica... |

| Honestly, when I think of 'multi-tasking' the first thing that pops into mind is simultaneously carrying on a very involved conversation whilst performing a complex task...and watching people not being able to do either competently. I don't think multi tabs or programs open itself constitutes multi-... |

| Does anyone else not have any specific special interests? I have both very specific and very broad special interests. I can imagine it going either way, or even neither way, for different people. An example of both, for me, would be: 1) polished cross-sectional cuts of wood, or anything with an int... |

| Don't just have sex with anybody.....have sex with somebody you like very, very much. People have different reactions and preferences to sex and romance, and so long as it isn't harming anyone, whatever people consent to is perfectly fine. There's nothing wrong with masturbation. Getting some help ... |

| Damn, that sound rather awful. Unfortunately we can't really weigh in on those conversations. If you yourself can't see or understand what's wrong then it'll be difficult for people to analyze the situation through you. Based on what you've said, I'd say either you aren't aware that you're doing som... |

| I stay out of the cesspits of politics and religious discussions and the like so I don't know what it's like in there, but elsewise I don't really notice too much in the way of bigotry. Maybe some leftover misunderstandings from older folk who grew up in a time where it was considered normal, but by... |

| It can be. I used to greatly enjoy immersing myself in busy and complicated things. Back in day when I played World of Warcraft, my most played character had around 60 keyboard shortcuts (keybinds) I would regularly use in PvP, with slightly over 110 keybinds in total. I'd also mentally keep track o... |

| Maybe something you could try is join some discord servers with a voice chat channel and invite someone to chat with you. Record your conversations and compare them to conversations other people have. Note the small details of what you do or don't do, and what other people do or don't do. Some disco... |

| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savant_syndrome That link has all your answers. Gives you all kinds of keywords to use to search for more info, as well as references to science papers on the matter. Also, word of advice: Basing your self-worth on a potential Savant syndrome identity isn't healthy. |

One odd way it seems to be expressed is my cognition of metaphysics with ... |

| To the original question, "Wouldn't Constant Noise Make One Suicidal?" I would like to make, what I think, is an important distinction. I would say that no, constant noise wouldn't make a person suicidal but... it could certainly make a person contemplate it. I suppose, as diverse as peop... |

| Many men seem to give off way more female vibes than females. In fact i often get their gender opposite if they don't talk about it. Trueeeeee I used to get misgendered online a lot, and even had fun with that for awhile. And that was before I had decided to start presenting more feminine. (I no lo... |

| There's a meme about 'Resting b***h Face' that some women have, but I have a bit of a 'Resting Dour Face' when I'm by myself in public. It also translates a bit into body language, so I can sometimes appear to be a tough/mean looking person. It's scared a few women, which hurts, but I can totally un... |

It's kind of no-brainer if you want to attract a girl. Cars = status. A guy's car says a lot about himself to a woman. The exception might b... |

And then IRL I would just be vague, I wouldn't go into details. I would just say enough to convey the ge... |
