    Western Astrology Signs

    I have too much experience with Astrology to toss it aside. It's actually proved itself to me in very profound ways. But just sun signs? That's like saying you know what someone is like because they're male or female. lol. Definitely takes a full chart. I'm much along the lines of Carl Jung's...

    Does your brain short-circuit when speaking on the phone?

    Argh. This has always been a problem for me. I can do friends and family if they're someone I'm comfortable with - in fact as much as I hate the phone, I can spend all night on a call with someone I'm super close to - but business type calls have always been highly stressful to me. Unless I...

    Lost web developer (or something)

    Welcome! Of all things to be obsessed with, that is definitely a good one in my book. My problem in life has been TOO MANY obsessions that oscillate. Makes it a lot harder to root myself into something long term. I happen to be getting more and more into coding (and going in the direction of...

    Hijack the Conversation Topic!

    Speaking of calls, when I was a child I once called a carpenter and tried to make a fake order in my best adult voice. I think my chuckling gave it away.

    How to ask an Aspie out?

    Look... Aspie or not, "dialect" or not, if he likes you enough in that way and wants to get involved, he WILL come to you. You can try being more verbally direct about your feelings (as in: more than just "hints") but not actually ask him out. See how he responds. P.S. I don't advise the "we...

    My wife says she has discovered the secret

    What are you trying to do, suffocate me?! I like the look of tucked in sheets, but it just isn't worth it. I kick them out every time. So I just drape it out neatly and evenly when I make my bed.

    How reclusive/sociable are you?

    This is pure wisdom and I cannot emphasis it enough. If you haven't lived COMPLETELY alone for an extended period of time - ie no pets, no partners, no work associates, no friends, no roommates, no family, no neighbors - then you're kidding yourself if you think you're immune to needing...

    How reclusive/sociable are you?

    I'll start with: All of my long lasting friendships have been long distance, and usually with other recluses. Also, leave it up to this forum to make me seem sociable. :D On the day to day I live alone (though that is becoming an increasing financial struggle I'm trying to tackle) and, since I...

    30-something Aspie writer from Australia saying ‘Hi!’

    I quite enjoyed reading your story. Pursuing formal diagnosis is up to you - for some it is very helpful (whether literally for aid - or for peace of mind) and for others that are confident in their informal diagnosis (like myself) it seems unnecessary - particularly because of the expense and...

    Aggressive, assertive or submissive?

    I've significantly displayed all 3 categories, so shrug.
