Children? Hmm, how do you (and other kids here) play then? Do you still have feelings? Or only drive for sex, power and popularity, like adults? |

| Second, you are overgeneralizing the problem. As you said " I find everyone here gross and unrelatable..." There can be such people everywhere. But they are less here in number. I would like to find just one who is relatable. Just one cute cat. Or a dog. Or anything really. As long as I c... |

I don't need to identify as a human (icky) in order to take advantage of human privileges. I just mask as one. |

Yep, so this! Pretty sad how many people don't appreciate their bodies, especially since there are no better alternatives so far.
Hmm, maybe need some kind of separate "body appreciation topic" :3 |

| I also don't think I'd like being a "brain in a jar". Being devoid of all sensory input would suck, and I like being able to explore my surroundings and take in the information from it. A "brain in a jar" wouldn't be able to do much. You could persuade me with that argument. It'... |

I do have plenty of mammalian instincts though, so trying to use them to help those that are already here. As for the question in the title, I d... |

| I love my body to bits, it's very practical, gives me a lot of pleasure, joy and nice feels. It's so soft and squishy that it's great sensory toy. Would love to make it even better, as it obviously has some flaws and annoyances, but sadly, can't do much yet. Luckily I'm asexual, so one of the bigges... |

| Who is this weird woman?? I'm always 'wrong' in some way. You aren't hurting some big egos by any chance? Humans seem highly narcissistic and bond by ego stroking, so flattery and "white lies" are paramount for socializing, while any kind of truth tends to be huge "faux pass". B... |

| Do people call themselves HF Aspergers? I thought it was called level 1, 2 etc. now. High functioning sounds more "able", and since humans tend to be very ableist, those who are well off and privileged often like to use this, to feel better about themselves. That's how I understand it. Wh... |
