| I do get obsessed with my crushes, and i'ts not all that easy. :roll: I loose interest in anyone besides the person in my focus at the time. Usually it lasts for years, but sometimes for shorter periods too. The scary part is that I know so well, and I see all the "wrong" things I do, like not playi... |

I am afraid of new contacts, people in general, really. hale_bopp Look at peoples eyes- they are the window to the soul. Sometimes I j... |

Im usually the calmest person.. But I can be very angry, and if I get angry, I see red. No, thats not true, is see black. And I will be angry if someone is threated unfair. Or if there is a lot of noise, and someone saying the wrong thing then is not wise.  |

| I try to tell the closest family, but I feel that they will not believe me because I am not diagnosed. But I think that if I get a diagnose or not, the problems are still real and should be taken seriosly. I moved away from my family and home town because we don't get along. But now that I know abou... |

| Yes, you are probably right. I am used to beeing an observer, so I might just be good at that. It just seems like I interpret evrything to do with me the wrong way. Get into the wrong crowd in younger days, and now mostly keep away from people. Mostly I like to be alone, but it makes me sad too... W... |

She said a few month... |

But that does not mean I am capable of expressing myself in a good way.Well I mean I don't communicate well with most people about evryday things. I have taken all the online... |

You probably came from a foreign country, but then again you seem fo... |

| I like both, but coffee is my favourite. I like it best with milk and sugar. With tea it's green tea, rooibos or earl gray with milk and sugar, and chai, with cardamom. |

And I wanted to work in a library as a child, probably because the library was one of my favourite places. So playing library makes sence. Yeah, we did that, too. I think it's more of a kid thing, not an... |
