I've gotten very clingy about this lady I live with. Just being around her is very soothing.
I am normally not much in need of social contact, but I want to be around her ALL THE TIME. I don't have ... |

Please tell me. I feel very lost right now.
I'm 24. I'm almost beyond certain that I have Aspergers by now. I'm self aware enough, and social enough, that I can kind of cope with it, but I really w ... |

I honestly think Spudnik's alternative suggestion is closer to the truth. Being a geek is a mentally androgynous state. Girl geeks get picked on for being too manly, and guy geeks get picked ... |
