| It doesnt have to be elaborated talk, if she's interested in you she will enjoy the conversation. Just go to her and ask her how is she doing, how was her week-end. ect |

I understand what you are saying, im just amaze on how the brain can function totally differently fro... |

| I don't see whole things. I see part of the edge of a door, then another part of the edge; my mind understands this to be a straight line. Then the same process with the top, bottom and then the inner side with hinges. It's almost instantaneous. But I can never see the whole thing, only parts. It's... |

| I trully beleive that I do, but I don't. If it wasnt for my wife I'd be a mess. She will be gone for 4-5 days next week and while I will enjoy some time by myself, I know my stress level will be higher after 2 days. |

| I'm just like you when im stressed and tired. It's a bad cycle because the more stressed I am, the harder it is to get good sleep and I even get more tired and stressed the next day. I really think i'm getting worst as I age too. I get very agitated and anxious when I had a good day of work or had g... |

It's with that ability that I became filthy rich and built myself a underground lair on a remote island where nobody can come visit.

| Would you be able to survive and reproduce 40 000 years ago with the way your brain is wired right now? If not then it's a disability just as much as being born with no legs would be. Are you disable because the way you function is not compatible with how society evolved? That's a different sort of ... |

| People always laugh more when they are in a crowd too, so while this joke might just be midly funny when you watch it by yourself on youtube, you might find yourself laughing just as hard as the guy next to you when you're in a crowd. |
