| I love giving gifts but receiving them has always been uncomfortable for me. Even if I love the gift I always feel a little bewildered about how I'm supposed to react. |

| Well, as usual, today is just the last straw on the camel's back. I just never seem to be able to communicate with people at all. I am so gunshy at this point that I just don't want to talk anymore. I can go for a while without any misunderstandings but when they happen it just devastates me. Its li... |

| Oh god...all the time. Most of my hypothesizing during my life was in the form of questions like "what is wrong with me?" "why do people hate me?" "why do bullies always want to pick on ME?" "why do people always get mad at me when I try to help them." "why can't I make friends?" and on and on. Find... |

| Am so frustrated...done a lot of work in learning to communicate but it all seems useless because I still end up in huge arguments. It seems like I can simply say "Pardon me, do you have the time?" and somehow find that I've been rude or insulted someone. I really do wish I had the willpower just to... |

| I could barely read after the first bit I was so mad.....I was bullied viciously early on. To this day it affects me, the most notable effect being that I don't have any sense of "escalation." As soon as someone seems to be trying to intimidate me into doing things their way I into absolute resist m... |

Some synthetic fabric just feels 'toxic' to me for no particular reason. I've been thinking of going Scottish and wearing a kilt. lol. My socks are the s... |

I used to just take 5 or 6 puffs at 11pm and I'd sleep fine until 7am with maybe a bathroom break at some point. And if I ... |
