| I think it maybe means that other people don't feel like you are listening to them or that you value their opinions. If you say that you at least understand where they are coming from, even if you disagree, then they feel like you value them. If you fail to recognise their input then they feel like... |

| I hardly ever go to the doctor, I mean have only been a handful of times in the last 15+ years so I'm not really familiar with how they do things these days. I didn't know they expect you to pay first now before you see the doctor. I just remember all the times I was growing up, that you paid after... |

| If I'm talking about something I love and adore: NO. I am difficult to shut up. If I'm (being forced to) talk about my emotions: YES!! most definitely. I have a very stunted ability to express how I'm feeling at any given time. I'm "good," "sad," "happy," "disappointed," etc. The next question is in... |

| I honestly am not sure why it was said. I'm not that great at how other's perceive me (in person and online) though there may be something to it, because I don't have friends. That being said, I don't know how to start friendships either. That process is a foreign language to me. As far as the conve... |

| Any suggestions as to how to go about finding someone who deals with adults? I'm bad enough at initiating contact with people and the couple of times I've managed it I've ended up talking to people who deal with kids. Where are you? I am lucky that I live in Massachusetts and that there are tons of... |

| I very rarely sleep more than a few hours a day. For instance I got in around 7:30 this morning and fell exhausted into bed around 8 am (I work third shift.) I woke up before 1pm, less than 5 hours. And I was exhausted. I will very rarely sleep a full day, but that is usually when I've run myself i... |

| So, I was called "self-righteous" by a person on a pro-team related forum that I frequent. For one, I'm not really sure why they said that, because I don't genuinely think I'm better than anyone else. But for some reason (I don't even know the person) it's really hurtful to be called such a derogato... |

| I'd call them ignorant backwater yokels but that would be kind of rude of me. They remind me of the American Trailer Trash culture but much much dumber and probably more inbred. Wow, didn't know that was possible, because we're 'merica! #1 at everything. I'm clueless when it comes to flirting. Even... |

| As a note, originally I intended to read a biography about every US president. However, I got distracted once I learned about Autism/Aspergers. And this (learning about Autism/Aspergers) has occupied all of my reading time since. I can really relate to this. I have a very narrow amount of interests... |

Me too! I love my dog. I also love corduroy pants (I wear them regularly because nothing else beats their comfort) and rubbing/twirling my hair. |

If you're doing it right...  I don't really care for eating in bed. To each their own. I'm a bit too old to enjoy the kitchen table personally... 
I'm lost. Do you use TV tables or something? |
