| I feel extreme rage about this as well. The goddamn social games played by NTs are making the planet slowly unsuitable for human life. Their social games make them f***ing kill each other for no real good reason other than greed and wanting to feel superior. You know that there is enough resources i... |

| Okay, so about connecting with others, the things I'm good at, I tend to be outrageously good at, other people aren't even in my league. As far as the help I need, it's sporadic and it's really hard for someone to help me, except for jobs which has been a source of huge anger and frustration. That ... |

| They don't sound like friends to me, or good people for that matter. And I would not call what you experience paranoia, it's not out of whack to think that her motives (the hostess) are not quite right.

| Cornelius, I'm not offended. Please forgive me for writing a post which sounds patronizing. I found your original post compelling and honest and not at all arrogent. Clearly, I am unable to write in the tone I intend. I'll keep trying. Don't use me as a baseline, I am autistic, so I have an impairm... |

| I am struggling with a very similar demon a lot of the time. The one thing that works for me is to nurture hope, or put simply: to find something to look forward to, anything. Concentrate on what you love. Good mental hygiene is key. You are a beautiful and kind human being, you are part of the solu... |

| I hate the phone as well. Everytime it rings my heart races and pounds, I get anxious. Talking on the phone is the worst. I never know when to talk, I always seem to interrupt the other person, not because I start talking in the middle of what they're saying, but because I start talking a split seco... |

| How long ago have you broken up with him? What you are feeling right now is grief, it's the worst of all emotions. And it's OK that you loved him in spite of the verbal abuse. I was with a girl who insulted me all the time and was mean and manipulative, and I felt real bad when we broke up, for at l... |

| The tone and everything is fine, but your response towards your company president--I don't get why that was necessary at all. He broke your flow, yes its hard to get back into pattern (for me sometimes impossible), but there could've been a million nicer ways to phrase what you did. You're not expl... |

| This is a compelling topic, heartbreaking, but more compelling than heartbreaking. That seems like a pretty cold reaction. Probably you feel I'm arrogant and unsympathetic in the way I present myself. In fact your post in general is unfriendly and moralizing in tone. To wit: I'm wondering what your... |

Wow! That sent a chill down my spine. It really connected. Very well done!
I read it 10 times.
Don't sell yourself short like that, you have talent.
Oh, and don't worry about the ghost theme, to inspire another is the greatest of compliments.  |
