    Feel totally misunderstood

    Dogs and cats are great with me. I don't think I've ever had a dog scared of me. I have no problem coming up to a strange dog in public and giving them a hug. In fact a lady even trusts me with her guide dog on the bus simply because it likes me. I often think I get along better with animals...

    Feel totally misunderstood

    Actually you've been a great deal of help. I'm about 5 ft 11, and a athletic. My reply has always been 'it's just my face', but what you described in high school pretty much happens with me still. It happened when I was a kid. I tried taking a picture of myself once to get over of my fear of...

    Breaking family ties

    I also cut ties with my family. I don't think it's so much the lack of attachment, because it hurt a lot. But the fact that we are all usually very black and white. There's clearly a wrong and a right. And we usually value honesty and truthfulness, even if we are blunt about it. We do however...

    Your anxiety busters...

    Try Valerian or things like Kalms. CBD can also help. Just realise that even when you don't feel hungover, you will be more emotional the next day after a drinking. This will pass, you just need to grit through that bit until it passes. Consider talking to a doctor about beta blockers for...

    Feel totally misunderstood

    That's a good plan. Wish that occurred to me at the time. I will ask them when I see them next. It's just whenever they come out with this kind of thing, no matter who it is, it's a bit of a conversation killer for me. It makes me feel like I've lost whatever confidence I had in talking to...

    Feel totally misunderstood

    Yeah! I totally understand why'd you'd ask that. I wash once or sometimes twice a day, take quite a lot of care with my teeth too. I don't have any piercings or tattoos, and just wear my hair in a crew cut. Honestly I try not to stand out so I don't wear anything bright or eye catching. To the...

    Feel totally misunderstood

    No, no tattoos. I dress plainly, and average. I don't really do anything that makes me stand out. I do smile, but it's just as soon as my eyes meet someone else's, they almost flinch and look scared. It makes me feel like there's something wrong with me but I don't know how to change this. Maybe...

    Feel totally misunderstood

    Hi there! I was diagnosed with high functioning autism a few weeks back. I also suffer with PTSD and depression. One thing that's always bothered me is people find me intimidating. I've been told I have "serial killer eyes", that I'm cold and that I scare people. I make people uncomfortable...
