I've been wondering whether or not I have as for about a year and a half now, and still don't know. I've had to completely distance myself from the subject for a while as it was beginning to drive me mad. I almost drove my best friend mad by going on about it for months. And now I've reached a kind ... |

Yeah, I totally identify with that. I can do Harry Potter although I usually lose myself in it so much I have tears rolling down my face during the opening music! I really dread my friends suggesting that we go as I'm running out of excuses. There is only a certain number of times you can say that y... |

Just wondered.. Does anyone else here dislike going to the cinema (movies) cos they find it overwhelming? I don't have any recollection of feeling like this as a child but more recently, after going to see a film I tend to get a headache afterwards (I think because my eyes dislike the fact that I'm ... |

That's really interesting, I'd never given it much thought before, but the number of times people have asked me if something's wrong or if I'm ok and I've wondered why they're asking is astounding.. |

I was "spiteful" and incredibly bossy, apparently.
I've always been much "better" at expressing myself through writing down my feelings than talking..so often I would tell my sister what I really thought of her on paper and get into trouble when my mum found out..haha |

Hi there I haven't posted anything on here for MONTHS but I'd really appreciate an opinion on this if anyone has one. I went to the doctors today and found out quite by accident that my ears "need" syringing. I didn't give it any more thought til I got home and then decided to look it up on the 'net... |

I play piano, guitar, and tin whistle (a little). I have been teaching myself piano accordion for three and a half months. I have learnt twenty or so tunes already. I class my voice as my main instrument though. It took me about fifteen years to realise that I am never going to be a pop singer, so I... |

I rarely express anger at an "appropriate" time.
I cry at the drop of a hat though..
When one of my friends died I couldn't cry at the funeral, then the tears came a couple of weeks later and I cried for about an hour non-stop. |
