| He does miss you, the problem is we can be content being away from our loved one with the knowledge that she/he loves us, we can get 'stuck' so we need to be 'pushed' reminded. We like our alone time and we have normal human emotions like everyone else but we have a kind of default position of being... |

| So I deactivated Facebook and texted all 3 of them to say don't take it personally it's just so I don't hurt you guys again. Now they're all saying I'm being childish. And I can't stop crying. And I'm at work. I feel ugly and small just like I used to when I got in trouble as a kid for saying they ... |

| My main problem is being unfit and the effort thing, I mean is it really worth it? Yes, people react to you much differently. If you've been overweight most of your life you'll notice subtle and not so subtle changes in how people treat you. Like night and day. Also here's a talk @ tedx by an aspie... |

| Worse. They claim it's an epidemic, for fundraising purposes, that only affects children. If they admitted that the prevalence among adults is just as high and it's just that we weren't diagnosed when *we* were children, they couldn't claim an epidemic and parents might think twice before paying fo... |

| Hello everyone, For approximately 6 months ago I was tested by a licensed psychologist in order to determine my intelligence. I scored a 87 which is surprisingly low (Sorry if this offended you) Education is a lot about how much time and persistence you put into it. Also we have no idea what 'test'... |

It had been so many months since that had happened I could barely remember what to say, not that I was that great at it in the first place. I can talk to girls in platonic situations but on dating ... |

| And here's one half of what I was talking about. Calling someone irrational is a great way to undermine them. Also, you are being emotional in the sense that you feel attacked but all starvingartist said is that misogyny exists. She never said that you were a misogynist. How can you say her feeling... |

I talk to people online and I sometimes see one of my friends, usually at my place. Is it ok to not want to socialise? Why do people not... |

| What does this mean? Are they making fun of me? Commenting on my appearance or attitude? Why would it apply in both scenarios, where I am behaving very differently? Is the first example flirting? Why do they laugh? Your body language and tone of voice caused them to feel positive emotions, and they... |

If you actually take a look at the history of copyright, no one should respect it anymore since corporations have successfully stolen peoples right to own their own products and stolen the public domain.
