| Does anyone else here ever get that feeling that you're just not likable, regardless of what you try? In my case, people seem to scowl at me and give me dirty looks for no reason. I find that when I'm feeling that way, a lot of times it's anxiety and paranoia, where I'm kind of looking for somethin... |

| I like to pet dogs. However, I know doggy etiquette, which says that you always ask an owner before you try to pet the dog. So I did that when I saw a dog owner walking a dog around my complex. And the owner blew a gasket at me, said it was rude of me to ask to pet the dog. I responded, confused, th... |

| I think I'm dealing with a minor case of burnout. I just can't really bring myself to talk to any of my coworkers today, and my attention span is shot (On its own, the last one isn't exactly uncommon, though I can usually remedy it by pacing the hallways for a few minutes). I had to attend a confere... |

| Yeah, feeling that frustration at the moment. Trying to finish something but everything seems stacked against that happening. Keep coming back to it, do a little more, then the results frustrate me further. I'm at the stage where I want to scrap the whole damn thing. It sits there mocking me. Sayin... |

| My roommate and I both do geocaching, and I have this one mystery cache that I had already solved the coordinates for. I sat on it for like two months because I was waiting for my roommate to have the free time to go look for it with me, and I told her repeatedly. As it turned out, when I left for t... |

| I'm at the age where a lot of my friends are beginning to pair off and get married. I am not - I'm questionably asexual and have yet to feel comfortable enough to start a relationship. But I worry sometimes that with everyone else getting married, am I going to lose all of my friends? I get along OK... |

| I find that for me that when I melt down I shutdown and stop talking. Sometimes it becomes so overwhelming that I actually cry with actually helps to relieve the feelings. Sometimes, that sort of shutdown happens right before I'm about to start crying, but usually by the time this happens, an episo... |

| I know I don't like to be touched by other people. For the time being, I'm assuming I'm as a practical matter ace because the tactile defensiveness kind of gets in the way of any particular desire for sex or ability to have a "proper" romantic relationship anyway. I get very strongly emoti... |

| Are you unsure what you want but upset when you're crying? I used to cry without wanting anything, now I'm able some to cry and identify wanting something. It's frustrating to be upset and not know what you want, frustrating to begin to know and no one understands or responds, and I think understan... |

| Meltdowns aren't the same for everyone. Does your mom want to help? Maybe she would be open to providing more calming or space to be alone if that would help? A lot of people shut down, too. Whatever it is is usually worsened by stress and sensory sensitivities are increased under stress. So it mig... |

| Quick question: I start crying very, very easily. I'm very sensitive generally and very triggery. Just about never is the crying aimed at getting anything. Usually I just get frustrated or upset over something, try to keep my mouth shut, and everything winds up leaking out through my eyes. I usually... |

| My A1C levels have been elevated for a while. Not to diabetic levels, but to levels where my doctor is concerned, particularly because my dad is diabetic. So she urged me to try to cut down massively on sugar again. I've done it before, although I'd fallen off the wagon a bit after grad school start... |

| I love Halloween, generally speaking, but I'm in kind of a bind. Y'see, I'm generally too old to go trick-or-treating (with one saving grace I'll get to shortly), but I really, really hate parties and crowds (noise sensitivity), so most Halloween parties for adults are out. That doesn't generally gi... |
