    Late to the game but finally here...

    Hey there, @LadyS , welcome. I am quite new to this forum but I have found a great level of support here, and I am thankful to be somewhere with so many nice and understanding people, and not feel like an alien myself too. I hope you will like it here :) Which country are you from?

    Do you also skip school reunions?

    Well, I don’t think I can do it right now, I have said to myself I’m staying away from fiction writing for some time... however, hopefully I will be able to do it soon and I agree it sounds like a fun thing to do :)

    Masters Degree: I'm very very very scared

    Everyone, thanks so much for all this advice, I feel so supported here it's unimaginable. I haven't had that much support in my life up until now! @Streetwise I will make sure to try and follow your advice, if I can go earlier to the city, I will definitely visit the campus before classes...

    Masters Degree: I'm very very very scared

    Thanks for the answer! I will try to search for campus counselor or something... I don't have an official diagnosis whether I am on the spectrum or not , but an psychologist acquaintance of my mom's said that I most likely am when we talked to her... so idk, but at the moment it seems like I...

    Masters Degree: I'm very very very scared

    Dan, thanks for answering. Well, you are maybe right but I really love literature and hope to one day be able to write for a living. I am currently kinda doing that, although it's not exactly the things I would love to write. I just feel like I don't want to give this up as it's important to...

    Masters Degree: I'm very very very scared

    Mia, thank you for the advice, I will definitely try all of this out. I don't know if I would be able to go to familiarize myself with it as it's in another city, but I can maybe just look around on Google Maps or something. Thank you so much!

    Masters Degree: I'm very very very scared

    Hi everyone, I will be starting my Masters Degree next month in Literature. Although I really want it, and I really love to study, I am terrified of all organizational/administrative and social aspects of it. I feel like I'm about to blow up just by thinking I will have to go to a new city, and...

    DSM-5 says that we have difficulties understanding what is not explicitly stated.

    On the topic of work-related instructions and work organization, I have a story to tell. In a job I once had in a media website, we had to prepare and publish articles for Amazon prime day. I mean, lists of deals we should publish. Also compilations of deals. During the entire event, I didn’t...

    Do you also skip school reunions?

    I usually write fiction stories about cool characters and people I would like to be if I could. And they usually have some cool fantasy-like powers to them. :DUnfortunately I don’t write as much as I used to because it makes me somehow feel strange... as I get too much into it and then I don’t...

    Do you also skip school reunions?

    I would never go to a school reunion. I still remember how I felt out of place and pretended all the time, trying to fit in and never succeeding. At one point, when I would talk, nobody even turned to react or say anything, as if I didn't exist at all. I couldn't relate to any of their interests...

    Hi

    I feel incredibly shy right now, although it’s a forum and I’m not personally meeting any of you. I have always felt like I didn’t belong anywhere. I am waiting for an official diagnosis, one friend of my mom who is a psychiatrist actually told us I was most likely on the spectrum but I guess...
