| I've ran a half marathon. The last miles were tough. A lot of the running was between fields, and it helped me when we were in areas that had actual public to distract myself from the running! I run with music too, but I had a buddy to motivate me during the half marathon. Have fun! I hope you have ... |

| I love Meetup, but it's very unpredictable and often people don't feel committed despite their status on Going , unless they already paid. You can see other group events and see what is successful. Movie meet-ups can be interesting, then after you can discuss it somewhere... or like go on a picknick... |

| I found it online when I was 15, when I thought I might have autism. It helped to read other people's experiences, and that I was able to recognise myself in the stories. |

| I think showing up randomly at her workplace could come off as potentially creepy. It's hard to say. To ask someone out would be the quickest, and you could start with talking about some kind of interest you share, and try to work your way up to asking for a date. Organised events are there for smal... |

| I kind of think, why has this suddenly resurfaced as an issue now. Michael Jackson is dead, has been for a while and the court trials happened a long time ago...and suddenly its news again? And news enough for them to remove a simpsons episode that featured him as a voice actor in one episode. I me... |

| Good arguments being made on both sides in this thread. I dunno. Havent seen this new movie. For me it just goes back to the same old dichotomy: Either MJ was just innocently weird, and like to have innocent pajama parties with kids, and his bad judgment about the optics of doing that set himself u... |

Like the final goal here is definitely monetary gain, which would totally be justifiably. So they had to spin it in the way that the documentary shows, so while I think a ... |

| It's probably her way of trying to be supportive. My girlfriend says that sometimes when I'm really on the edge, and for me that isn't helpful at those times. I'll feel like how can you know? or like I'm not being taken seriously and downplayed. I told her how it made me feel, and she realised how s... |

I'm meeting a lot of the same people, and it's nice to just be outside of the house sometimes. Not really made friends though, since I don't ta... |

| I would often take a walk or go on a run when I felt anxious, and just being outside in the fresh air lifted a little weight. I love going into the forest, there is something beautiful in the collection of mushrooms, moss and tall trees and the smell of earth and leaves. |

| For me, it kind of feels like a wave I need to ride out alone. I become uncommunicative and it's hard to do any kind of reaching out (it feels futile, and I don't want to drag anyone down or waste energy on things I can't explain anyway). I think it's good you're there for him, even just in the back... |
