| On my mind is how annoying game shows can be in this day and age. It seems like the most annoying contestant is the one that always wins. Also on my mind is how annoying social media is.

| Eye contact has always been a problem for me. I don't want people to think I am rude, but I cannot help that I find it very difficult to look them in the eye. When someone is looking me in the eye, I feel like something is shoving my head in another direction. |

| I don't watch it now. I am a traditionalist and I liked Richard Dawson as the host. I tend to like things as they were originally done. I liked the style of television of yesteryear and a lot of today's stuff annoys me. I think it has to do with the style or flavor of many of today's shows that I di... |

I find my special intense interests (roller coasters, house plans, etc.) as very relaxing and fun. I have invented an entire amusement park that I enjoy most nights after I l... |

| I have known since childhood I was different, but I didn't know why. After nineteen years of teaching English, I became a gifted intervention specialist.
