| Half the things I relatively expressed as a 'complaint' is more of a question or a permission. When I was really young, anytime I complain, people are not reliable enough to do it for me. No one could explain. 'It's a fact of life', 'that's normal', 'you have no excuses', 'it's too expensive', 'you... |

I want to be able to talk freely and focus on being interesting and entertaining, and network like I used to. Even for all else, I never quite hated myself until problem sharing became my primary topic of conv... |

| But did said stories taught kids how to handle envy? Derision? Anger? Any anti-social thoughts and emotions Yeah, that bothered me too. Considering how destructive anger and belligerence can be, it frustrated the crap out of me that nothing is done about something that can destroy lives. It just ge... |

How great would it be if people came with name tags like in video games? XD How are you with remembering people's gait and voice? Hmm you could try and just own th... |

| Haha yeah, I loved that show. Watched it as much as I could when I was younger. And coincidentally I ended up going to college for mechanical engineering, and learned a ton about manufacturing on my own besides. There's actually this book in the industry nicknamed the Engineer/Machinists Bible (actu... |

| Depends on the circumstance. Not sure on any wholistic approach since there's a LOT of stuff involved, but some small tips: -Think of everyone like they're just a friend or acquaintance you haven't met yet. Don't treat people like strangers or you'll get stuck in apprehension of trying to break the ... |

| Reading, and figuring things out. With both of those interests, I'll waste away entire days, barely taking short breaks for bodily needs and my dog. Whether it's figuring out how something works, or what to do to make things work a certain way, I'll hyperfocus on things for hours and hours and hours... |

| Yeah, it's tough managing other people's issues. That's how I see things, nowadays. If someone can manage social interaction with both parties coming away better for it, it's a successful interaction. If not, there's a problem there somewhere and it's creating more problems. Although we humans have ... |

| Mine's been quite high since puberty, and has frequently been a nuissance. And it drives my feminine alter crazy. Crying, intense thoughts and consideration of very drastic measures to find a partner. I'm extremely worried for them. Thankfully, (and depressingly) I've been cursed with self-sabotagin... |

| The legalization of weed has/would undoubtedly cause a pretty significant uptick in casual use across the population, not necessarily because people need it but because they can do it, and believe it enhances their experiences. As everyone gets used to it, it'll slowly fall out of fashion as the 'ne... |

| Interesting topic! For the naysayers, I should point out that sex dolls or the adoption of artificial tools and companions belong well within the ranks of harmless endeavors, and can even goes as far as beneficial, life-impacting mental health measures. It also isn't as extreme as you'd at first ass... |
