| I have a problem understanding questions - test questions, interview questions, homework questions, everyday questions. I always answer them wrong or am unable to answer them very well unless I have answered them before. It is not like I don't know things, I just don't know what people are asking fo... |

| There was a period in my life where I just wanted to eliminate all gender identification and become truly androgynous (though part of the problem was that I am male with an effeminate body, so I get confused for being a girl a lot). People like that are generally known as Neutrois. You can look into... |

| I am going through the tedious process of finding a job for the summer - and running out of time to get one. But I feel like I am fighting a curse: "I am never considered an option* unless there is no alternative." *Specifically never accepted The jobs I have had were because there were no other peo... |

| We are actually quite similar - around your age I actually had a massive identity crisis on top of that (usually happens around 18 or so). It sorted itself out about a year later. While I still can change modes, the trick was to actually define yourself, even if you have to sit down and write it out... |

| My brain does not really register hunger and being full, so when my stomach is growling and stuff, I guess I get pleasure out of that being unusual. Usually I cannot let my stomach get empty for acid-reflux and seizure related reasons (I can also get very irritable), so when it happens and nothing b... |

I got into the idea that 1) I was a nuisance 2) Useless things had no reason to exist 3) I was dangerous 4) I wa... |

A fine balance between "be yourself" and "don't be yourself because no one likes it"....
The downside you get is that most children do not do soul searching and establish an identity until they are in their later teens, but good to start putting the ideas into their head when they are young. |
