| I think Hakuna Matata is a nice ideal, but more realistic and down to Earth would be the Dude from "The Big Lebowski", when he says "The Dude abides". |

| A theme that has held true for me time and again throughout my life goes like this. Yes, it would be fun to have all the daring, even risky life experiences that everyone around me seems to talk up so much, and even expect. But even more important than that is avoiding nasty, highly-consequential pi... |

| Nice topic CapedOwl, Thanks! Great post yourself, very insightful! My biggest hurdle is the simple fact that everything(social) takes more steps and effort, in both directions (me to them or them to me). :) Me too! It's very wearisome. There is one tool I've discovered which can help me lessen the ... |

| 1. The constant fear that I'm missing the punchline to some social interaction. 2. The constant fear that if I explain a problem to another person, they will freak out on me for being mean instead of focusing on fixing the problem. Defensive behavior laid down as a means of protecting the ego scare... |

| I just hate seeing the confusion in someones eyes when im explaining something even slightly complex. 8O And they look at me like im crazy or a moron (when i'm smarter than them, thats REALLY annoying).

| I won't be getting that iPad. I have an iPad, and regret it. It doesn't compute, but rather it puts on gaudy performances which resemble computing.

| Let's just say I can feel the all encompassing, higher love more often than I ever feel lower, more physical, and definately the socially conditioned types love. I feel the same way. Far sooner would I feel a heavenly, angelic love, than I would a human-level, soap-opera-drama-loaded affection. Thi... |

| This necrothread ran me over like a bus. I've found it difficult to "feel loved" myself. In the past, I've seriously wondered what was wrong with me when I don't automatically mirror back the affection that others might show to me. This thread has brought me great assurance that this is a ... |
