| I did better on the social scene when I was younger, too. I wouldn't say it's because I had more skills, but socializing just wasn't nearly as complicated. On top of that, because it was less complicated and I was doing better, I had more confidence about it and thus I socialized more. Fourth or fif... |

| I'm not psychotic, so I can't entirely understand this, and can't really give advice... Any advice I can give is stuff like "oh yeah, try to ignore it" etc., and I figure that's not only completely unhelpful but also been said to you a billion and one times. Just know I'm rooting for you. I really h... |

| I think it's an okay movie. I respect it. I do not think it is the work of God or whatever like so many other people seem to. Everyone seems to get super excited about it and think it's amazing sheerly for the part where 'true love' ended up being sisterly love and not romantic love. And yet they do... |

| I suppose not? I mean objectively speaking I'm a bit on the overweight side, I never bother wearing 'flattering' clothing (I love my baggy t-shirts and jeans), wear glasses, don't do makeup or hair, etc. But honestly I wouldn't want to be 'attractive.' To me that is very much a label and I don't lik... |

| We're animals. Many humans think us better than the other species because of 'intelligence,' but the fact is, the way we measure intelligence is based on our own type of intelligence. Who's to say birds don't find us stupid because we're unable to fly without the aid of machine? Or (non-mammalian) s... |

| For almost my entire life I've considered myself cisgender and straight, and honestly hardly thought of being otherwise. This is no doubt at least partially a result of the society I was raised in considering that the norm. I'm sixteen now, and don't know exactly how I'm classified. At the moment I ... |

Some momentary 'hurt feelings' are ten times better than people realizing the alleged faults in themselves later. I know that I persona... |
