Strength: Fairly weak but recovers quickly from a hit (however does little damage to opponents). Magic: Basic telekinesis and Illusion magic. Intelligence...

    Spacing out?

    @SliverOfSand Yep. I relate this a lot. There have been times where I've told someone to shut up because I'm writing (if the information isn't the same as what I'm writing). Otherwise I'll end up writing that. I've done that with song lyrics when I've zoned out, thought of a song, and written...

    Am I really a night person, or just sleep-deprived? I wonder what schedule works best for me.

    Half baked Dreams: what are your dreams you gave up on?

    -Becoming a cat behaviourist. In the past, I wanted to do this. However, I was deterred because in order to do so, I would have had to study an animal care course which involved all kinds of animals. It also required a high grade in science, which is something I didn't have. Either that or...

    Do you struggle to recall voices?

    I do. When I'm dreaming or imagining a situation, the voices of people are either distant and indistinct (a haziness, as if the sound was going through a tunnel) or sound exactly the same as my voice. This is also why I struggle to do accents. I lack a mental catalogue that I can refer to. No...

    I need to stop jumping to conclusions and to focus on the present a bit more.

    The Power of a Positive Attitude is real

    Although I mostly agree with your sentiment, I would issue caution. I think that there are two main types of positivity; helpful and toxic. When you're stuck in a negative mindset, it can seem impossible to escape. I know that when people told me to just be positive, I didn't think I could...

    Ashamed of stimming?

    I think of myself as being probably BAP (Broad Autism Phenotype) with suspected social anxiety. Anyway, I stim and I am self-conscious about it. I hand-flap and rock along with a few other things, but they are the main ones. The rocking occurs in times of great stress, I've done this in my...

    Reading paper vs the screen

    I actually prefer e-books over paper since it saves on space. The app I use for e-books allows for annotation / note taking but I've never used that feature. I don't have to wait for delivery time if I download an e-book VS ordering a paper version online. However, I'm not sensitive to light...

    Why I'm here.

    Particularly if someone is also hypersensitive, experiences sensory overloads and hand-flaps. I think that most of my issues socially are due to underlying anxiety and that I am mostly otherwise socially skilled. Which puts me in a rather awkward position, since I'm aware that what I experience...
