| Yes. The social difficulties have a huge effect on my life, but at an even deeper level than that, the cognitive profile and the things that go with it -- intense interests, the ability to absorb vast amounts of detailed information about those interests, and the tendency to focus on details ("weak... |

I once read that about 20% of world leaders are scorpios, and almost 40% of those are married to a pisces.
Also, the majority of couples I know are with signs that are considered 'compatible'; ie. earth & water vs. fire & air.

| Yes, it happens to me a lot too. I don't mind it so much if it's from strangers... but my mom ALWAYS talks down to me and I hate her because of that... it's ruining my life; no wonder I have no confidence. |

| I have lots of interests... which is probably why I`m not very skilled; I don`t focus on one interest long enough. My only really noticable talent is that I can paint very realistic surface textures (ie. wood, stone, concrete, etc). |

Ruminating on these phrases has helped me a lot in understanding the finer points of conversation. I also get TV/movie clips stuck in my head all the time, especially from Simpsons. If it`s bo... |
