| Makuranososhi speaks truth. 8) Sometimes when people are extremely distressed, their emotions become an unbearable weight and they want to externalize (or dump) their thoughts and feelings onto another person to get them outside of them, which is an immense relief all by itself. What they usually wa... |

s**t, I still haven't figured this one out.
I think everyone everywhere will always have this problem.
Just pick a side and stick with it. Force the other person to move.
Or alternatively, look for a route around the person as you approach. |

| To NTs and to educated Aspies, smalltalk can be damn useful. Here's the secret: It's not the content (words in and of themselves) that matters so much as the manner in which you present it and respond to it. Every time someone makes smalltalk with you, they are trying to glean information about you ... |

| I'd say a good rule of thumb for Facebook is don't friend anybody you haven't met in real life (unless it's one of those fake celebrity pages). Facebook is the ape equivalent of grooming - it doesn't serve an obvious purpose, but if you think about it it's a way for people to maintain and strengthen... |

| I think sex evolved to feel good so that we would have it as often as possible, in order to trick us into reproducing as much as possible. That's why all animals have sex. I don't think a male preying mantis would offer his head to a female to bite off if he didn't feel some supreme, transcendental ... |

For real dude, I know I bitched at you for whining and being emo, but I'm really happy that you have someone who loves you back now. Everyone should have someone. |

| I think we like anything that falls outside the usual musical structures in pop culture, because it's different. Not to say that you don't like ANY pop music, but it does get quite repetitive. |

| Because when I find a man attractive, I become terrified of him and can barely speak when I'm around him, because I start worrying about how he's going to interpret everything I say and that I might say or do something that would ruin my chances, so I don't say anything in a self-fulfilling prophecy... |

| I don't know, he could be. Many Aspies like bodily affection, just only in certain ways with certain people, like everyone else in the world. Tell him exactly what you want from him, and be very clear and unambiguous. He very well may not have the ability to create or process the usual nonverbal cue... |

| One thing I will say in favor of Catholic schools is that there was no paddling. That seems to be mostly a Protestant thing in the South or Southwest. We just had your standard passive-aggressive verbal abuse from teachers. But I did get a good education, and only had 2 or 3 truly bad teachers in my... |

| I think it is mostly a good thing that we have civilized society. A civilized society is more egalitarian, and gives a greater number of people the ability to pursue happiness in life. When we agree not to fight each other, we can focus on other things and live a more productive, relaxed life. |
