I am OK when talking to people, but when I'm standing or walking, I never know what to do with my hands. I keep one hand on the strap of my handbag and the other ... |

My nt friends who are still single seem to be obsessed with finding a man with a good job, money, good looks and good at sex.
I am happily married, none of those things were important to me. |

For a couple of weeks after I felt panicky and couldn't think ahead beyond the minute, not that anyone knew though. For about 3 months I guess I wasn't as happy as I thought I was. I wa... |
