| At least you didn't tell me to "find" a girlfriend. You told me to "try" to find a girlfriend, which seems doable provided that one understands what "trying" entails. But since I don't know how to "try" to find a girlfriend, your advice is moot. Have you ever tried to find one in the past? If by "t... |

I had a dead-end job, I was using archaic technology, I wasn't earning a lot money. 2. I don't like being unemployed. I d... |

| I have a prescription for Ritalin and Adderall... but I don't really take them consistently. I probably should, but I don't like how they make me feel most of the time. I only use them when I really need to do something important. How do they make you feel? Did you mention those side effects to you... |

| I know people who look very autistic to me and they have girlfriends. In your case, how come you have never had a girlfriend? Do you blame your problems with women on your looks, personality, asexuality, or the fact that no woman seems to find any trait you possess attractive enough to want to date ... |
