Okay... finally get the HSP and dolls mistaken reference. HSPs and stuffed animals happen. Highly Sensitive... they need something soft to hug. It wouldn't hurt if it was a human who loved them, appreciated them, and treasured them, but a stuffed animal or I suppose a stuffed doll that was...

If... crying is to HSPs(Highly Sensitive Persons) what stimming is to Autistics, Then... you can get a quick idea of the health of an HSP by how recent the last time they cried was. So, here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking if an HSP hasn't cried in three days, that's a clear sign something...

It occurs to me that those reading past posts might be confused as to the details of my mother's striking when I was a child. According to searches, it is in the realm of a 'downward hammer fist' to the back of my head, alternating left and right fists for however long it was. Her partner...

It all seemed quite reasonable, the virtual testing of it all. By video we shall teach you vocabulary, then we will test you by quizzes to see what you have learned. And so it went, and it was easy. It was comfortable. It was very nice and soothing until that day, where there was no...

God loves you. I mean, I just want you to know that. There is no one on this earth God made without something that's a treasure. Some got the mind, some got a knack, some got the strength, some got the social aptitude, and some got the charm. Maybe we feel broken, or are convinced we're not...

my better half is, smarter than Newton, more talented than Mozart, more creative than Dickens, luckier than a Leprechaun, sharper than Kant, more capable than King Arthur, more skilled than the dwarves who made weapons for the Norse gods. (While I am not unaware of flaws, nor the personality...

The truth is - a man can't have hsp. Sorry, it's unacceptable. I figure I knew I was off in some way, but whatever, right. Professionals had their opinions, but those matched up as much as two years of reading national and international news. There was just something off, and you can only...

the yelling, it gets me grumpy, and i'm being immature, of course, i know, freeze is not acceptable, new stress is not commendable, froze in action is not to be, tears require implicit trust, yelling back brings more fuss, no solution, is the answer, stress, go away, i know of no way, for my...

Jesus was something else, right? From the amazing and fantastic details of His death in Matthew, to the specifics of his birth and childhood in Luke, to the family occupation in Mark, to the fact that the very guards who came at night to take Him away bowed before Him in John... Jesus is God...

Thirteen is a number associated with loss. I bet you didn't know that. Anyways, I found that bit of information from a year of Bible encryption studies. And so, this 13th page should be a page about loss. Of some sort. I guess. Though as I'm an odd one here comparatively, this loss spoken...

I'm thankful for today, For I breathed another breath, And then one after that, And yet another, Now how do I do something, With such a precious gift, For in all efforts, I must breathe, But I hope that I make good efforts, That lead to good things. No one seems to follow Revelation, Not that...

See, the thing is, at some point the 'automatically forgiven' for lousy interpersonal skills disappears due to expectations of age. All of the sudden, your grades aren't so hot anymore because of your interpersonal skills. That was the sort of thing you prided yourself with because if I can't...

So... life funnies. Do you know how on these ASD tests, they ask questions like, 'do you ever take things too literally?' Well, if you don't know that, plenty of tests checking for ASD do. One time, I got in so much trouble. I was waiting to die if it were by parents, as every kid must have...

If you have learned nothing in the last 7 pages of this blog, then let me say one thing that I hope you will remember: Crying is to HSPs(Highly Sensitive Persons) what Stimming is to Autistics. These two things are stress relief designed and built into these personalities. If they are not...

I was recently sitting with someone and chatting with them. One of those sorts that the bad guys should all die, completely rejects the humanness of them. I mean, I get this. It's real. In wartime it's useful, in peace it's sociopathic. Me? I excused myself and found other places to go...

"When we withhold trust out of fear or cynicism, we starve our humanity." This sentence holds alot of meaning to me. Fear is the core of what plagues my very mind and heart. Fear that was seeded from my parent's upbringing and the fact that I at no point in my life questioned any of it till...

So the HSP thing. Simply put, that ain't about guys wanting dolls when they're growing up. Let's be real, kids often lean to their environment around them... at least before the teenage years. I'm not sure I understand this whole doll thing everybody keeps talking about. Excluding the...
