| But the truth is, if they did include me, it would only annoy me. Oh yes. In years past, I could usually fake it well enough to gain some small level of initial inclusion in a group. Thereafter I found that if I actually attempted interaction then I would be slowly eased out by being excluded from ... |

| I wish I hadn't tried so hard to be a 'good girl'. It never worked anyway, and it still only ever backfires, and I don't even know who I really am most of the time. This. The worst bit is realising how much self harm I have done by trying so hard to be someone I cannot be. Believing that if I just ... |

| So, the thing is, if you go out with a guy, and he is a douche, but you don't know this yet because you've just met him, if you let him pay for you, he will think he is entitled to all manner of things. Like you being nice to him for example. I like to reserve the right to be nasty to sobs who deser... |

| I truly feel its the way I was born. I've never felt sexually attracted to anyone. Well that will make your life easier on one hand and harder on the other. Are you still emotionally or intellectually drawn to people though? Not really, at least not to a guy. A girl then? Do you enjoy human contact... |

| Think of all the things that you may have wanted to have a go at (like living alone) and see if you can get yourself out to try and do some of those things. Volunteering is a really good idea. Walking dogs in a dog shelter or just spending time with cats in cat shelter, if you are not keen on hangi... |

I had to ask her what she meant by that, and I am still waiting for her response. Aww I am sorry your parents don't understa... |

| I've always felt strongly asexual. IDK if its due to sensory issues or if its the way I was born. What really gets me frustrated is when I tell people I feel asexual and their response is that I just haven't found the right guy yet and that I'll feel differently later on. I truly feel being asexual... |

| What empathy is - actually feeling the emotions of the other person as they are feeling them. It's the connection on the non physical level - and as such complicated because scientifically speaking it's not supposed to exist, and yet NTs use this to function socially the whole time. I call it the ul... |
