| I met somone over the internet on sunday, and by monday, she says she is in love with me. We have talked non stop since sunday, and she has seen and heard me over the net. She lives over 1400 miles away in Texas, so we can't easily go and meet each other. I I have been through this before, my first,... |

| I'm 34, have no car, employment, almost no money, and I'm really short. Great catch, right? I very much want a relationship, but I've got so much stacked against me, and I have tried dating sites for years with only one girl with who I hit it off with, but we didn't work out. How pathetic can a pers... |

| I used to want to get married more than anything. I have been profoundly lonely my whole life, and aside from a wonderful girl who I only talked to online and using skype, I've never been in a relationship. I've never even been kissed. I'm 34 now, and thanks to a support group I've been attending fo... |

This. That happens to me all the time. |

| Every time I tell people I have Aspergers, they always comment about how well I express myself. They find it hard to believe I am so damaged that I can't work, which I can't, among other things. Even my therapist makes comments about it. I sometimes wish I didn't express myself so well, because I ne... |

| I've been taking meds since I was little, and yeah, they do help a lot, but I still feel like my life's empty. I see a therapist, but he's never come up with a solution either. |

| I've been diagnosed with so many disorders, including aspergers, that my life seems worthless. I'm 33, and I have no work history, no friends I can hang out with, I still live with my mom, and I just sit and vegetate all day in front of my computer and TV that I didn't pay for. I know life can be so... |

I wish I could say my life has been simple, but being disabled sucks. I've never had a job, and probabl... |

| Just Cause did have a tutorial, I just couldn't figure out where to go, and the map was useless to me. Mario was on the Wii U gamepad, which I no longer own. I just found platforming too difficult to enjoy. These are the games I have now or have recently tried and liked: Batman Arkham Origins, Assas... |

| I'm not altogether new at gaming. I played for years on the playstation 2, but that was a long time ago. I did play many shooting games back in the day, and didn't have the problems I have today. Sonic Lost World was great except for the bosses, which were maddeningly hard, which is ironic, consider... |
