I haven't seen it because I'd heard about it then forgotten what it was called, so thanks for reminding me. I can try to watch it now.  |

| I think I'm quite similar, although I've been doing it independently since I was younger. A lot of the time I dread going to have a shower, but then I end up standing in there for longer than I need to. |

| I do. I can only really speak for holidays in the sense of 'break from school etc.' and festive periods as I've only been on holidays away from home a few times to go camping fairly nearby and stuff like that. Have you tried explaining to them what it is you find intolerable? If so, what did you say? |

| Wanted to ask someone about this and couldn't think of anyone or anywhere I could talk to apart from WP. Sorry if it's a weird topic though. I often seem to have encounters with strangers that are confusing. Examples are: When I was around 12-14 I did a paper-round and one of the men who worked in t... |

| Yup, definitely. Thinking of examples from today, I was coming back from walking my dog and met two people I know in the street and it made things really weird. Don't know whether that's exactly what you mean or not. Might've had a similar thing to that lady coming into your work when I was at an au... |

| I've only really told doctors and other people who need to know. My family know and a couple of friends, but I don't tend to tell people unless they need to know, or it comes up and is relevant. |

| Your best bet would be to get a micro recorder and record what is transpiring and if indeed this person is doing what you claiming he is doing I'm sure there could be some ethics violations. Furthermore if your not ordered by any courts to see this person and if you are over 18 YOU have the right t... |

I haven't noticed any marked difference in looks between people who are popular and not so, but I guess I don't know what I'd be looking for, so you might have a point.
I also can't say much regarding coordination. Maybe it depends on a mixture of factors. |

Really sorry to hear that you're experiencing this. Have you spoken to anyone about it?
Just want to say you're not alone. Not that that knowledge will help you, admittedly. |

| I've never been to a wedding or any similar occasion, but I don't really understand them either. I mean, I understand that people might want to get married, but I don't understand the regimentation, fuss, specific rituals and conventions, lavishness etc. |

| Definitely. It's strange: good social skills can lead to someone being considered 'cool', being cool seems to exempt people from having to follow 'rules for 'normal' behaviour', but apparently it's necessary to follow those rules in order to be considered as having good social skills or being cool i... |

A few people have assumed I do drugs, so not sure if it's because of the way I behave. I don't think I've done a lot of the things the guy did in that video though, but guess everyone's different.
I just want to shout 'I'm just NATURALLY WEIRD' at them.  |
