| It certainly seemed hopeless for me when I "lost" my "one true love" when I was 21. I did some foolish things while I was "mourning" this girl. Really, honestly, the best thing to do is to move on from her. She's not a bad girl. At worst, she's a fickle college girl. P... |

| I think the phrase I love you but I'm no longer in love with you means she's no longer attracted to you. It's like you fell into the "just friends" category. I'm NOT going to speculate on the reasons why she's no longer attracted to you & I don't think it would do you much good if you... |

| The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago. I don't understand how someone can love you in one minute, and not love you the next. Or how someone can dump you saying that you two could have been a perfect couple, but things just weren't right. It really does hurt. I saw us getting married... |

| I don’t want to just read and move on. I’m sorry that you’re hurting. It’s okay to be a crying mess right now. Thank you. To return your valentine's gifts - that's low. She sounds, if I may say so, like a complete turd. She sounds like the type who gets a kick out of the power she believes she has ... |

| I was just dumped by my girlfriend last night, and I don't know what to do. "I can't really say I'm in love with you" is what she said. This just came out of nowhere and I feel like I can't breathe. The day before yesterday I thought we were still madly in love, now I'm heartbroken. I just... |

| Woody Allen was a script writer for years. He would read out his new jokes at meetings, and his co-writers would laugh and include them. Then, he tried stand-up comedy, and got no response until he developed a funny delivery. It is good to have some useful content, but a speech is primarily perform... |

| It doesn't have to be one story. Ok, so I'm considering advocacy for autism and as a part of my presentation, here's my closing story (as an example). And here's the way I'd tell it to my audience: <I'd like to close by telling you a story that is in four parts. This'll be brief, but it's the best ... |

| So, why doesn’t your daily routine vary much? Is that by choice? Do you an adverterous type? If not, why not? Do you have a ton of friends? If not, how come? You’re not going to have a developmental disability like autism and not be impacted. Think about how you are impacted and also include how yo... |

Examples, - Did well in elementary school except socially - Developed depression in early teens, middle school especially hard - What happened that resulted in a referral for evaluation - Things my family (or school) did for me th... |

I don't know really, this is something I volunteered to do, but I guess I want to educate the audience? |

| I always start anything by making a list! In this case, it would be what areas would you like to discuss? I'd go for social interaction/communication differences, sensory processing issues, need for routine and planning, the joys of special interests and autistic strengths. You don't need to say mu... |

| It's for a mental health panel, I'm really nervous, there's gonna be maybe 200 people there, it's at my campus and I'm not 100% sure what to talk about. I'm kind of scared, and I would like some advice on how to get through this and what to talk about, it's supposed to be 15 minutes long |
