Eye contact issues are common, but (reported) pain from just walking into his field of view? That sounds like something else.
It might be a good idea to consult a doctor about this. |

Well, it is noisy, so you will need to shout.
of course, this makes more noise, so those at the next table will also shout, which means you got to shout louder... |

| This i hear more often; the defining factor here is trust. If i trust a person (my partner, but also close friends, housemates and things like that), being physically close and even having physical contact is no problem. The exact same contact with others can be anywhere between uncomfortable and hi... |

As long as you never run out of clean clothes, it isn't bad.
Now, dirty laundry has a tendency to get a bit smelly, so i would not let it pile in a spot where you also live, but if you got a separate room where the laundry machine also is, there is no problem as-is. |

Just becouse life has no inherent meaning doesn't mean you can end it without remorse.
Don't forget that many murderers are religious in one way or another (christian, muslim, jew, ...), so blaming nihilists isn't entirely fair. |

If you ask me, this is indeed sexist.
Then again, why would said woman not punch the man herself? equality works in both ways. |

| If you consider BMI, they are, but many strength trainers (weight lifters, body builders, MMA fighters...) are considered obese. The BMI scale is of very limited value, and shouldn't be used really. The problem in this case is that muscle is heavier than fat, which makes BMI even less useful than it... |

Whether human society will survive? yeah, it will; small scale war is good for business (for some people), but all-out world war, especially nuclear war, is bad for everyon... |

| Portability is also an issue. Having a giant powerstroke makes carrying the weapon inpractical. Then there is the matter of reloading: often, a squire would reload the weapon and swap it with the weapon that was just fired (the archer would have 2 bows: one loaded, one that is getting loaded).

I wear them as little as possible, i don't want to risk becoming dependent on them.
I do always wear them while driving (either regulars or those yellow-tinted "nightvision" ones, depending on the time). |

The less the better really.
In my view, 4 times would be what i'm aiming for.
first, you move from your parents house to a college dorm, second is from this dorm to a starter house, 3rd to a family house and finally to a senior house. |
