| Driving at night is whats difficult for me, particularly in very heavy traffic. The lights, the stop and go action, and the requirement to focus while driving cause me to reach a near meltdown condition. I almost have to go into the house, and sit in a dark room for moments to collect myself should ... |

| I find this a very tricky subject too. My default facial expression seems to give people the impression that I am very serious all the time, very often with quite a frown - it's even been describes as a 'scowl' once or twice. I've been told explicitly that it makes me less approachable on more than... |

| My maternal unit as a child was a MASTER manipulator. She was classically Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and she had 2 golden children, and a Scapegoat (me).

This is often taken as unemotional, and those who are expecting emotional communication and get none, often become frustrated by this fact. It usually means I have to communicate whatever it is differe... |
