| I'm still unsure why people think it's emo to be sensative to bullying when studies have shown that it does affect the human mind and then you add other factors to it like family and friends. Because human primates naturally signal their social status by denigrating the lower ranking members of soc... |

| @mechanicalgirl39 I am not really hyper to be honest. You might have a different way of dealing with adrenalin. Adrenaline for me is not like a 'rush' or a high, it is a downer, there is nothing good about it. I just have to try to block it out. Endorphin can be like a high. Also sometime I just ge... |

Sugar and fat get you addicted, but you taste bugs suffer as a consequence too. Therefore other thing may seem blander. I eat fresh fruit and veg, meat lea... |

Quote: I probably wouldn't have been able to breastfeed my children. And that's really what they are there for in the first place. People always seem to forget that.
This was one of the reasons I hated having them as a young teen. I felt like they reduced me to just a machine for having children with. |

| Sounds like she stuck her tongue in way too far. She shouldn't be sticking her tongue far into the back of your mouth. That would make anyone feel like vomiting. |

| Why is it so important to have many friends instead of having quality friends? Emergency sleepover apartments? People to lend money from? Safehouse for hiding from the police? What? I've always wondered that myself. I fail to see how it is unhealthy or wrong to have 3/4 very close friends instead o... |

| From the context, Aspies, I think. Oh right... I didn't mean AS'ers don't have issues or anything like that. Hell as an AS'er I know we have plenty of problems. I meant that, as people, AS'ers seem to behave in less f****d up ways towards others. Less judgmental and less complicated. Whereas a lot,... |

I first in secret, then involuntarily in front of my mum, because we and someone else had been having a conversation about AS, and it brought a lot of buried emotions to the surface.
I HATE crying in front of another human. I feel so violated....but I couldn't do anything about it... |

I have that too. I used to call it 'hyperlucidity'.
I don't know of anything you can do to induce it besides wait until you are feeling energetic and force your mind to go blank if possible. |

Screw what other people think. It's your hair, and your life.
Don't comb it if you don't want to. But make sure you do want to give up combing it, because it will go into lots of irregular dreadlock-like coils and will stay that way. |

Like if someone with hair down to his backside, a leather jacket and a Deicide tshirt says he hates heav... |
