| This happens to me, too. Not all the time though, normally only when I'm feeling particularly sensitive. It's like the noise is touching my skin somehow, especially if it's really distinct in pitch/loudness. It's veeery annoying to deal with when people are talking. I get horrible migraines regularl... |

| These questions were so difficult! I had to guess on a lot of them, especially the intercultural ones. General : 5/10 (50%) Lying : 4/10 (40%) Sex Signals : 2/10 (20%) Facial Expressions : 2/10 (20%) Intercultural : 5/10 (50%) Territory and Positioning : 3/10 (30%) Body Pointing : 7/10 (70%) Dominan... |

| I'm the same way. A lot of positive criticism generally baffles me, unless, for instance, I specifically want to know if I'm doing something correctly, and then I'm praised for it. But when someone just makes a comment like 'I like your shirt,' I usually don't know how to respond. I mean, I didn't m... |

| I'm good at reading people as long as I'm a third party observer. I'm not very good at translating this into anything useful, however. I don't usually 'lecture' or like to talk about my interests at all. And I used to be able to lie extremely well (I find it nearly impossible these days, however). T... |

| Sometimes. Occasionally (usually when I'm feeling especially tired or stressed) my fine motor skills are so poor that it's incredibly difficult to get my handwriting to look like much more than a bunch of scribbles, but other times it's very precise and controlled (enough so that, when I use print i... |

| Don't smile (or expect smiles) in cities. Don't be aloof in a small town. Anyone else find this as well? In my experience, this has indeed been the case. Usually if someone on the street in the city smiles at me, it's because they're either about to ask me for money or they want me to join up with ... |

| Kindergarten. I have this one memory where I was sitting off to the side one day and just looking around at all the other kids playing games and socializing and I felt so, so out of place, like there was a huge gap between us that I didn't know how to bridge. Little did I know that this would be the... |

| I keep quiet because I can't think of anything to say or, if I do think of something, it's too late to say it. Sometimes it just doesn't seem like it's worth the effort though, even if I do think of something, because people tend to misinterpret whatever I say entirely, and it just leaves me more fr... |
