    I have been working with my psychologist for 11 years on that ;)

    Insecure and a bit paranoid about SO when anxious?

    I apologize if I misunderstood your situation and I wish you all the best to decide for your own life and for your own peace of mind

    Participate in a Study on Dissociation in Autism Spectrum Disorders

    'When I'm upset I don't know if I am sad, frightened or angry' It is implied that a person can only experience one emotion at time: OR sad, OR frightened OR angry. Why? It may be shift from one to another (depending on the situation) or several of them simultaneously. For example: a collegue at...

    Participate in a Study on Dissociation in Autism Spectrum Disorders

    If I may point at some things that confused me in the questionaire 'I focus on details rather than the overall idea' - details matter to me, but after decades of sorting out the information in the society I learned to pick up the whole context (the details and the concept behind them) and I can...

    Insecure and a bit paranoid about SO when anxious?

    Hello If I may to clarify: you still fight after 5 years of knowing each other, you can't handle peacefully seeing each other once in one-two weeks, you think the problem is totally in you because you can't be chill about being abused (take his agression). You wrote you express yourself and you...

    Am I Expecting Too Much?

    I feel impatience when it comes to waiting for a reply to my messages, but on the other hand when I receive the letter with some ideas (or musings) from my friends - I have to take quite a deal of time to consider that. It's just recently I have learnt to answer "I received your letter and I...

    Laughing at 'the wrong time'

    I don't understand WHY it is so important - because I read a lot in my younger years (and I understood very little out of it) but I read very little now (often I reread the books I still find interesting and informative). I met the opinion 'It's irrelevant how much books you read - it's only...

    Laughing at 'the wrong time'

    I was amazed when I discovered what not everyone laughs at their thoughts or the imagination's product (in movies stamps it's only 'bad persons' do that - when they build their evil plans to hurt as many people as possible, unfortunately). Also I can cry at something I think, I feel hurt and can...

    Difficulty with friendships

    I can't give any advices but I wish to share the results of my observations: - most people feel themselves safe only if they can 'pinpoint' you to one of the social labels as soon as possible. These people are afraid of my personality - they can only deal with me by putting me into one of very...

    Behavioral Progress

    I think that parents are the first experience of the oppression the person meets in the interaction with other humans. Actually the attitude the child meets from their parents - and the society do not intervene on the child's part - is in effect approved by this society (its laws and government...

    Behavioral Progress

    I totally disagree with people who insist that saying 'sorry' should imply 'bettering myself in future'. I came to conclusion that nobody can 'better' themselves: because every person already DOES the maximum efforts they can spend in order to: a) maintain their existance in everyday bombing of...

    How can people tell?

    I think there is no psychic or 'telepathic' ability - it's just most people at the first meeting throw all the efforts to 'make the good impression'. While I (self-diagnosed) try to get invisible to watch how new people act to understand about them: what they ARE, how do they behave and act...

    I can't feel love for people!

    I look around and reconsider what I see going on between real people and what I feel myself - and how relationship 'have to be' according to social rules. General niceness: I noticed that the rule of 'being friendly and attentive' is only refers to people who can be used in any way (i.e. people...

    The spoken words "I need you"

    Every person has their own 'reading' of the word. When my mother said she 'needed' me - it was a demand to financially and emotionally provide for her (though she was quite not-old and quite healthy then). I was terrified of the word for a while. It is important to be allowed to discuss openly...

    The spoken words "I need you"

    I think it depends on the certain people's needs to hear the key phrase: I have a friend who really likes to say and to hear from me "I need you". I guess what she means by 'needing' and I can sincerely reciprocate. My other friends like to say and hear from me "I miss you'. As time passes...
