| Let's say a complete stranger keeps walking up to you in school, you don't know their name, don't share any classes and have never spoken to them except these encounters, and tells you on a daily basis that you talk too much, are very annoying, are worthless etc. Are they simply being mean for the s... |

He said that the two are very often linked and this I probably have aggression issues... As far as I know, and I've asked close family and a few f... |

| My special interests tend to really bother other people, no one really wants to hear long lectures about cerebral palsy, conjoined twins, spina bifida, gientism, dwarfism, Ocd or the collection of other conditions i care about.
