Ingoring other people doesn't work for me, I tried that with disasterous consequences, I was very noticeable. The response I was greeted with was anger and laughter fro... |

Hostility from people is therefore difficult to detect, and unless that person is shaking me whilst letting me know, I'll never be able to determine these negative cues and the response I sho... |

| Yes, and all the time. I bite my finger nails excessively, more than half the length has disappeared. I compulsively pick at the skin under my feet using a pin or scissors, and use the sharp edges of a bottle cap to allow the skin to peel away. Using the abrassive fabric of my socks I rub inbetween ... |
