| I think you need to be A LOT more specific, if you want useful answers. In conversations I feel like I come off as a self-centered asphole. I think I don't know the proper timing for talking about myself. I know its good to ask questions, but then If I try to relate to that persons experience I fee... |

| Honestly, I think even if people do know they don't take it seriously or care. agreed. I try to put myself in their shoes and realise that it is of no gain telling them. The only time it might be useful to 'disclose' is when you're being asked to do something that may cause some extreme unexplainab... |

Most people who have anything to do with me know because of my site (aspergersgirl.com) If they think I'm full of it, they can jump in the lake. I'm not interested i... |

| I hate working retail too. What kills me is that I'm good at it, so a lot is expected of me, but I hate it, so I am not naturally good at it. And at the same time, the pay is sh!t.
