| What I find fascinating is that some in this thread are so opposed to the song because it presumably 'throws his shortcomings out there for the whole world to see'. I had an entirely different thought when I heard it. Is it really that hard for some people to believe that some of us might just be si... |

| Not everyone is a 'hero'. Hiding behind a video camera can be a coping mechanism used to distance oneself psychologically from the immediate threat of the situation. Where the alternative would probably be to run around, screaming like a headless chicken. For the record, I agree that this sort of th... |

| Casual hatred: No. Deep hatred: Yes. When I grow to hate someone, it is for real and it is for keeps. Someone has to /really/ mess up repeatedly over a long period of time for them to reach that status though. Once that occurs, I do not want anything to do with them and will not even try to be nice ... |

| I never accept invitations to birthday parties and rarely go to any other gatherings with large amounts of people (5+ is large enough to qualify for this). When I go outside, I always bring my mp3 player with in-ear plugs that are covered with rubber. They completely seal off the ear canal from the ... |

| I love it though. It's the place I think most clearly. I have my best ideas under the shower. I can never take quick one, because I always get lost in thought. This goes for me as well. I /love/ showering. The one place where my mind can finally come to rest and I can focus my thoughts. Whenever I ... |

| I very much agree with all this. In fact the article [1] I wrote about my pub visit last Saturday is about exactly this. How I have always tried to understand people's behaviour by observation, but never realizing that my interpretation of the reality was heavily skewed by my own ideas, morals and v... |

| @Rhiannon0828 I'm glad you liked them. I hope your diagnosis goes well. Explaining to an NT how things work for you really is very difficult to do during a simple face to face conversation. For everything you do mention, there is so much more you tend to leave out because you may not even consider i... |

| I agree with you in that a list of symptoms and a clinical description of what the eggheads /think/ it is supposed to be like is not in anyway conductive to a good understanding. This is why I write my articles. They tell the story from my personal perspective. My own little idiosyncrasies and quirk... |

| My Dying Bride - Le Figlie della tempesta (Daughters of the storm) Whenever I feel super melancholic (which happens frequently), this is the song I will listen to. It reminds me of a person and how she is very much as described in these lyrics: Before I go down Cleave to me Kiss and drown Weave your... |
