| I think your girlfriend will definitely "know" you better than you think, it is not usually realistic to mask your actual traits, which she will probably love you for anyway, it's always the small cute imperfections. I don’t know about that. I have told girls in casual conversation that I... |

| I think a lot of it comes from kind of gaslighting and victim-blaming that tends to happen when we see someone struggling in todays society. - They didn't try hard enough - They are always taking drugs - Those nasty mexicans... It is hard not to internalise these messages when I am low. Therefore I ... |

| Dubious claim. Anything like this reeks of the misandry of the "feminism" movement. You'd have to look at why they live longer. Maybe it's because they became human blobs and never took any risks, lived in apartments alone watching TV. No thanks. Males are more aggressive because of their ... |

| I realised she did say she had a recent failed startup in some kind of "mental health" service, so maybe she was a bit pissed of I was "on her turf" or jealous. |

A chatbot suggests she may have been "willfully ignorant" which sounds plausible, but also I wasn't very clear and she probably got impatient, but if she was just impatient she would have said something vague then goodbye.
Whatever. |

| I shouldn't worry too much about this, but I want to sort of ask this community. I was in a conversation with a girl who had done some startup with mental health services. I told her I was also working on a project just to share what it was, I said it was about solving the "theory of mind probl... |

I have never had a problem being alone with myself.
I am free of anxiety from performing for others, and I find ways to entertain myself by thinking of
jokes and puzzling through difficult problems, or reading a good book. There is always a lot to think about! |

| Yeah in my area the cops are really hit and miss. I called them for a literal street fight (like people on the ground, multiple punches) and they did nothing, not even a statement. Some of them I know are corrupt. I know a busker who has a learning disability, he deliberately avoids getting governme... |
