    Reasons to Not Self-Harm

    It's highly disrespectful while you are trying to communicate with someone! Long time ago, when I was young, I was talking with this girl on Skype, highly depressed since the man she loved (and of course it was not me), dumped her. I mean permanently depressed... We were communicating more then...

    Internet dating experience

    Actually this is something I don't quite get. I seem to attract more the attractive girls, while the more "average" ones, don't like me so much. Why is that? In this site, it's the same thing. This was the most beautiful girl that I saw there, and she was the most interested in me... I'm not...

    Internet dating experience

    I want to say, after few days in hesitation - I made a "move"... I didn't expect this from myself. But one of the girls was actually very... lovable (probably even too beautiful for me). And since she showed interest, now I feel stupid, if I don't do anything. There is a slight problem though...

    Curiosity about the life of Saints

    Well, if you don't know, it's a sign of intelligence to ask... Note that I didn't say St. Valentines, but just some saint to mask the pagan ritual... Трифонов день — Википедия In other Churches, it may be another saint, another holiday. I've not researched that much, I just know it's actually...

    Internet dating experience

    I want to share my internet dating experience. It can be of values for the younger people, I'm also not quite sure how to proceed in my case (of old dude, settled in his way). Sorry if what I have to say offends somebody, but I don't think lies help anybody... So, since most of us here, have...

    How do older autistic adults deal with social challenges?

    I would agree with both visions - yes, intimacy is evolutionary, but evolution is random, so different things are developed to different extend in the individuals. Anyway, in many cases, it's just consequent of life. You can never say how these people actually felt. The problem of this...

    Curiosity about the life of Saints

    It's true that Church Christianity is built on paganism, especially Catholicism, although you can't say it's just Catholicism... AFAIK, all Christians celebrate December 25 which is a pagan holiday of the Sun, not the real birth of Jesus (which by the way is a known date)... Most Christians also...

    How do older autistic adults deal with social challenges?

    Human intimacy is conditional and based on personal preferences. I don't seem to match the preferences of the others, so nobody asks me, nobody gives me intimacy, since I'm perceived as "lower quality". I just deal with this in the way I can. From my perspective, human intimacy is overrated...

    What music do you play when you're down?

    My problem is not that I'm sad per se, but that I can't relate to the world. So it's still better for me to listen to people that I find similar. Yep, a lot of these people ended up dead pretty young, which I actually find liberating and I'm not judging. Kurt has a great thought - it's better to...

    Movies or tv shows that put you in a good mood

    It's probably strange, but now that I think of it, it's probably X-Files. I like how Fox has a purpose in life and is so motivated, self-driven, although he is alone and living in lies. I also watched a lot of Malcolm in the middle, Two and a half men (with Sheen) in the past, but the fun is...

    What music do you play when you're down?

    I'm almost always down, so my list can be quite long... At the top, its Nirvana. As a person who dealt with depression most of his Life, I love how Kurt integrates sadness in his music, and makes it somehow more tolerable. Next, Jimi Hendrix. What can I say, just a phenomenon Linkin park...

    How do I stop hating other teenagers?

    I was the same... But I grew up and realized that "adults" are not that different then children. They can just control themselves better, and "play" the role better, somewhat more responsible, more reasonable... Which are all good things of course, but I think the problem is that you can...

    Obtaining greater intimacy in our relationships

    This is called "wishful thinking". I've talked here, about the people's inability to correlate all their knowledge, that most of the time - save them from themselves (although doesn't save the others). You can see a lot of people talking about their small box of understanding, and if you read it...

    Loneliness

    You must understand that feeling lonely has nothing to do with how many people there are around you. People are so afraid of loneliness, that they do crazy things trying to avoid it, and end up even worse. Having friends, doesn't help, since most of them can't understand you that deeply. Even...

    Has anyone else decided they don't want children?

    I actually like children, and I don't think I'm genetically much worse then the average guy. But: - I don't think I can find a person who really wants me, and I want to live with. - I'm actually antinatalist, and think that having children only increases the suffering on this planet and is not...
