| To some extent.... but not usually. I mean, if someone's super late getting somewhere, after a long time I might start worrying and calling, especially if they are normally on time. But worrying in general, not really. I don't really see the point in it, honestly, because if something bad happened a... |

| I mean, it's nice and all, to have someone really seem like they understand where you are coming from, but can become a problem, it seems when they start backing you up when you just don't want to do something, or don't want to learn how to do something new. I noticed this on another forum earlier a... |

| I get into this quite a bit, lately... particularly after someone else decides to spout out a bunch of "facts" about autism that hold no truth at all, while saying they don't have it themselves. Examples I guess would be parents deciding that if your kid is diagnosed with autism, they have no future... |

| I have them a lot. Sometimes it's just a repeat the whole time of me telling myself to wake up (an overview of me sleeping, essentially)... it just keeps going on and on-wake up, then I'm over myself telling myself to wake up again. Sometimes I get upset in the dream and start saying things like "oh... |

| Mine isn't really "sloppy", but it changes a LOT. I've noticed when others write, theirs is always the same, nice and neat, etc. But I get bored looking at mine and it changes at least a little every time I write something. Sometimes it looks like a completely different person wrote it. At least I c... |

| 2) This is also a differential trap, known as a trend-setter anti-pattern. In these social events, every new person feels social pressure to conform to the already-established trend (i.e. laying down where everyone else already is). Going against that trend tends to provoke negative pressure in the... |

So now she sends us links to exactly what she wants, or just orders it herself and tells us "this one is from you guys (points to something), thank you s... |

I liked some aspects though-our school had an artsy group full of very quirky people who just accepted everyone with open arms, and I was part of that-same with band. Sure, we had jocks and all that, and I'd get picked on here or there, but I h... |

I long ago decided: If someone's kids are throwing tomatoes on the ground, that's not your problem to interfere with. If someone's k... |

I'm always complaining about it because the majority on our street are like that, and I cannot stand to be in public with them. It's not because they are awful kids, but because the... |

I mean, sure it's extra money in my pocket if they do pay, but I know they are budgeting as well and am not sure if they had already planned to ... |

| My parents divorced when I was quite young - and it was very messy. Following that time, my father often commented negatively about my mother, and it drove a wedge between us which has never fully healed. Explain to each of them that they have your friendship - but that it is becoming important for... |
