    Do any of you not bother going to autism groups? I used to in the past but I haven't had tons of progress making friends.

    Larger than Cairns, Queensland - that's a fact. I think I'd have to go to Brisbane - I'd rather die alone in a rural area than live in that atmosphere. The whole thing about paying to meet people you might possibly get along with would bother me a lot - unless I found a real friend there. I have...

    I think most people are secretly bisexual

    Most of my girlfriends when I was young had been in lesbian relationships. I always thought it was a lot more common than many people believe.

    Hey @Shamar did ya ever meet a taipan? (Also I suppose that if the quotation: "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will rightly judge you to be stupid" wasn't Einstein - then it must have been Gandhi :D )

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    hormones are so strong they'd be banned by any sufficiently powerful government I cross-dress these days; I've been doing it about 10 years. It's useful to me because I'm weird anyway. I don't do well in boys' clothes but for as long as I'm cross-dressing at least I can have some girls to talk...

    Saltwater Crocodiles

    They weigh half a ton. They get up on their hind legs and run at you. They can get up to 40km/hr in a second. You do not stand a chance. They can get up on those same hind legs and walk around almost like a human being, too, standing a couple of meters tall and with jaws a half a meter wide...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    :) ...anyway, @Matthias is right - don't you know it? Comparing yourself to others won't help. Nobody here is mainstream - this forum is a chance to see that peoples' lives find their own paths to fulfillment. Us oddballs can still find a place. Please don't worry.

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    :) @Wizardry makes good sense. I have had to put up with horrible social response all my life too, and I've been in the process of detaching from toxic people (family) for years although I only discovered (and was diagnosed) that I am autistic a few weeks ago. For me - I'm thankful that I...

    Ways in which we can keep our ego "in check"

    It was Buddhists who taught me the basic practice. I've got my own flavours added: During inhalation I give thanks for the breath I am receiving, for it is the gift of life - without this breath I cannot live. During exhalation the breath is laden with prayer for this one, for that one... for...

    Ways in which we can keep our ego "in check"

    Hi Everybody My take on all this is quite different, which is part of being a mystic. For me it is all about giving love away; learning kindness is a goal and a career for me. I owe my life to Someone who can't be shown to exist, and who saved me when I called on them. Repaying my beautiful...
