Yes. I don't have enough money to have it all the time, but I love it. |

Hmm... I nearly cried yesterday (bad grade).
I got called 'sensitive' all throughout grade and middle school because my response to change, negative attention, and bad grades was crying.
I cry at closing campfire at camp every year. That is a "change" disturbance. |

I don't wear it like a banner. A few of my friends know, but that's enough. I do try to encourage awareness, however. For example, in my psychology class, we had to infer why a "student" acted like they did in certain situations. I said that "Mark" shied away from conversation in class because he ha... |

Simply speaking on the topic of my view of men...
NO! Of course I don't hate them! Most of my (few) friends are guys; I fit right in, since I am what I would label a 'soft butch'.
Do I want a relationship with a boy? No. Do I hate them? NO!  |

Yes, I do this too. When walking, I typically look down. Or, if I am afraid that I will collide with people, I will look up. It is not so much for my balance as my shyness. |

Yes! I always get reaaaally nervous around any kind of road or crossing. With all the cars and distractions... I cannot be trusted. |

I'm a Neek. I pour a lot into my special interests, but also have to learn other things for school, which I enjoy. Once I'm in a working environment, probably working on Physics, I'll be a full-on geek.  |

I remember, when I was in first or second grade, I used to lie in bed and ask myself this question. Who am I? What is life? Isn't the world all just molecules and atoms and rays of light and energy? Coming from a scientific point of view, I really do think of humans, animals, plants, and other life ... |

I agree. Group work sucks. Usually, if it is a big project, I just ask my teacher if I can work alone. It's much easier that way, and I can get the A myself.  |

I do this too... even in social situations. On the language side, I have a stock of phrases that I use, depending on my company.
Mostly the physical mimicking occurs after watching television or movies. |
