| Getting undiagnosed won't help you, if anything, it might hinder you. |

Girls who are diagnosed early have more severe presentations of autism while girls diagnosed later have milder presentations or had n... |

| It depends on the therapist. I've had bad therapists and it took several years for me to make progress. I think it also has to do with what you go for help with. If you don't talk about your low self-esteem, the therapist won't work on it (although if it turns out to be the source of an issue then i... |

| However, if people know I'm a lesbian and they hear that I don't have a girlfriend, then the response becomes 'well maybe having a girlfriend would encourage you to improve yourself and get your life together', which is rude. Bold of you to assume I require a partner for that. I mean, my life is a ... |

Unless you get a really high paying job and nothing bad ever happens - you could get a house.
Its basically impossible for the average person. |

| Limited range of emotion / exaggerated emotion. Rigidity. Lack of understanding of personal space. Can't be touched / too touchy ( I hate being touched by randos and at times, while desperately needing to hug someone at other times) |

| Its very common that women don't think of men outside of a caricature or implicit bias which often says men can't be pretty or that as a woman, they are forced to like men. And a more popular sentiment is to hate men all together and to shame anyone who is attracted to men, who are men, and those wh... |

| I am in another forum designed for young adults and one of the threads is about finding friends. I started talking to someone (months ago) , doing my best to engage with their interests until they stopped messaging back. Since then, they make periodic posts about having no one to talk to. Since the ... |

I have watched season 1 about 8 times and am excited for the new season. There's some talk that they are filming season 3 already.
The cast looks pretty good, the teaser is okay.
I want to see the buggy mobile, most of all. |

I'm sure you've heard this numerous times but look into borderline personality disorder or at least the strategies used to manage it.
Managing is always the first step. |

| I think it was a good move since there are far too many remakes and a remaster is a breath of fresh air. I dont think that metal gear needs to be remade since the series is basically finished but i would love if they ported peace walker to a modern system - with proper upscaling. I wouldn't necessar... |

| I wish they wouldn't. Most of the time children are born out of desperation to save a relationship or the ever so selfish wanting to continue a bloodline / 'have something that is theirs'. I'm sure there are children born out of a genuine love but even those are often tossed aside once they become t... |
