Normal circumstances(most of the time): calming
When excited: lifts mood a lot
When stressed: helps keep stress levels down as much as possible. |

| I'm glad it has worked out! So far I have only told one co-worker, and that was because that co-worker said she might have Asperger's and knows a few people who do. Other co-workers hat I am comfortable talking with, I have mentioned specific social things that I don't get, but haven't mentioned he ... |

| Yes, I think it does. Right now I am in a negative loop, thinking about failures of any attempt I've ever made to try to make close friends. I feel making close friends is impossible for me.
