You should google "Harlow's Monkeys". It is a famous experiment demonstrating the need for physical comfort in primates.

Wish I could help even if only a little, actually, I moved on from trying to be a perfectionist. I don't know if you feel like you want to be perfect but it is impossible for anyone to be and even if they are, they end up miserable. I think I had a click in my head and knew that I don't need to be ...

Some pressure on yourself can be a good thing. Otherwise, you will never improve yourself. The fact that you are so focused on little things you can do to improve yourself is good. Just try to keep how you *feel* about it reasonable. In other words, use the logical information you gain that you can ...

This sounds exactly like what I have heard from friends I have told about my suspected AS. The response always seems to be, "but you seem so normal", or some variation of how I couldn't possibly have AS. Like you, I've learned to understand and participate in social conversation and superficial inte...

I am trying to hold on to a man I love and knew was flawed, but didn't know it was 'chronic'. Didn't know that anybody could be wired this way. It sounds like you got married to someone who you thought you could change *into* someone you love; it does not sound like you married someone you love. No...

Look everyone in the "eyebrows". It'll look like you're making great eye contact, but you don't really have to look anyone in the eye.

I have been living alone for the past 6 years or so while going through grad and now grad school. I have a stipend and my own apartment, I pay my bills, get my work done, etc, etc. I can't imagine life changing much from this even after I graduate and start work. Just coming home, alone; night after...

Have you tried SSRI's? Even if you don't technically have "depression" (according to the DSM manual), you may still benefit from SSRI's. I was not "depressed" according to the general diagnosis (I had/have: good sleep, good eating habits, I do activities and go out with friends, etc) yet I was suici...

I've done a neuroscience paper on AS for class before. The research on AS is exploding! Just dig through the citations and reference section at the bottom of the link for a bunch of AS neuroscience studies!

That sucks - I feel for you. I'm in pretty much the same position. The closest thing I've had that could be called a "relationship" was just called off two weeks ago after just a few months. Add to that the face that Grad school leaves little time for socializing, and I don't see how I'm not going t...

Sometimes, I think a small part of it, is that women are seeing who the "crazy stalker" types are, and who are those who are interested in who they really are. Interested in a real way, in that they are not just in it for physical contact. If a guy keeps reasonable communication, that means he won't...

Please find another psychiatrist immediately!! !! I had the same experience years ago. I called up a psychologist years ago to make an appointment to get help. She was rude and did not have shred of compassion. This made me terrified of attempting to seek another psychologist. It has been years sinc...

Born and raised on Kauai until the age of 23, then lived on the Big Island until I was 26. Now living on the mainland. There is some truth to the poster's posts, but, for the most part, they are subjective experiences colored by an individual perspective. My experience of Kauai was the complete oppo...

"here to the mainland" - I hate those flights. Nothing but your thoughts to keep you company. That's probably why I don't go home that often. I've always tried to break them up into hours. One hour in my seat, half an hour pacing in the back by bathrooms, one hour in my seat, etc, etc. Then the flig...

I don't really remember what it's like to not have the overwhelming urge to commit suicide. It's been about 15 years, more than half my life. In some sense I suppose that I've gotten use to feeling like this, which makes it even worse. The relentless pain is not enough to push me over the edge anymo...
