| Why do I have to keep living like this? I hate my life and everything about it. Everyone else has a ton of friends, and I'm always the outcast. "Join clubs," they say. Oh, I've done that. I'm the outcast in those too. The only friends I have are from high school, and they live four hours a... |

| I've had a lot of brain scans, and I had brain surgery last year. I asked the surgeon take get a picture of my brain for me during the surgery, and I still have it if anyone wants me to post it. |

| You hate genericized trademarks, e.g. Google, Frisbee, Xerox, Kleenex, etc. "Just Google it." WELL WHAT IF I WANT TO BING IT?! You despise the constant misuse of "literally." You can't concentrate in class if the teacher makes a grammatical error on the board. You go through this... |

| The only sex ed I ever received was about STIs and how you should wait to have sex until you're married. That's all that was ever talked about, and this was at a public school. I never learned anything about female anatomy; I've had to go online to find any information. |

| There's probably some good advice in that post, but it's written in the most condescending way possible. I've never had a girlfriend, but I would guess acting like that would not be a good way to acquire one. |

| All right, let's give this a shot. I'm a 19-year-old male who lives in Kansas. I like reading, grammar, geography, The Simpsons, baseball, Pokémon, and theatre. I'm trying to find a friend somewhere, because the only two friends I have live on the other side of Missouri and I rarely get to see them.... |

I also have massive struggles in math, but I excel in many other subjects, especially English. I could never figure out why I had so many problems with math. No matter how o... |

| Halloween was pretty fun when I was trick-or-treating. But now that I'm older, it's apparently all about these parties. I've never gone to any of them; those don't sound like my types of things at all. And like most Aspies, I get scared very easily, which isn't fun during Halloween. But it's not a b... |

| I'm sure other Aspies can relate to being an extreme completionist. This year I decided to read every Stephen King novel. I've read about 26 now, and the one I'm currently reading is Black House . It's a good book. It's a sequel to The Talisman , and while most people seem to prefer that one, I'm mo... |
