Reading through this long and tedious list makes me want to say "screw it" and just never talk to anyone again.

She was just as abused by him as I was, but she had no idea I was getting it as well: her logic was, "He may be mean to m... |

I find animals and fantasy creatures more aesthetically and artistically appealing than humans. From what I've heard, Otherkin believe they actually have an animal soul or something like that.... |

| Yes, all the time! When somebody is talking faster than I can listen/think, it makes me feel like if I don't keep up people will be angry with me. It's not even a fear of someone/something specific -- just discomfort of anticipating negative feedback. Lots of things make me feel that way, like if so... |

| There's something that's been frustrating me for years, but I recently learned it may be a symptom of Autism! The problem is, my skill set has sharp cutoffs -- I may be a whiz at one thing, but something else people see as very similar I just can't do. For example, I am quite proficient at procedura... |
