    Just need a small area to live in

    I never really thought about WHY I never wanted a big house and happier with a small home. My little apartment is perfect for me, but I never use the majority of it even. I like to decorate it and rearrange and reorganize, but I have one little area where I spend 90% of my time and that's at...

    Concerns/anxiety over telephone calls

    I hate and procrastinate phone calls. Calling somewhere to make an appointment or change an appointment or anything like that, i put off as long as I can. I have a hard time making any phone calls, even if I need to talk to one of my grown kids it's hard to call them.

    Overload of saliva when talking to some people

    Yes, it would be embarrassing. I guess the problem was resolved when everyone was required to wear masks? I get embarrassed when I say something that causes spit to eject out. :)

    Reading everything in a thread

    Maybe you just enjoy reading. I always told people I hate to read, but I realized I just hated reading fiction. I can\t keep up with the characters for one thing. But I read constantly - everything from cereal boxes and labels to signs when driving down the road. And I definitely...

    Prospopagnosia, I know

    I went to tractor supply yesterday with my dog. As I was getting my dog out of the car there was a well groomed young man that seemed to be watching and would smile when I looked in his direction. "Nice young man" I kept thinking to myself. About 5 feet away he got in his jeep and left. My...

    greet passerbys - yes, no, sometimes?

    I think I would stop strolling. lol If you think about it - they don't all greet you either, right? I hate running into people I kinda know on the street or somewhere because there is always that "should I greet them, talk to them and if I do talk to them, what the heck am I gonna say" thing...

    If I'm going to be honest

    I may have misread here. I read the title and post together and thought it was clever, saying: if I'm going to be honest I'm a jerk. Because we can often be seen as jerks because we ARE honest. That's why I 'liked' it.

    Do You Ignore Your Neighbors?

    I've lived a lot of places and have never known my neighbors. I was at a restaurant once with a friend and the waitress brought me a drink and said it was from a 'neighbor'. I don't drink so I turned the drink down, but I looked at where she was pointing and did not recognize anyone. I hope I...

    I'm on facebook mostly to see pictures and watch videos of my grandkids in their cheer competitions, baseball, etc. I'm also in private groups like church, crafts and a few others. Oh, and watch Autistamatics videos. :)

    Thesis Questionnaire

    I'm not a student, but I can tell you that a couple of my grandchildren did better with remote learning because they did not have the distractions, and one has trouble with handwriting and the fact that he was able to type everything into the computer instead of writing helped tremendously. Now...

    I had to get off facebook today because it seems all the posts have very poor spelling and grammar. What do schools teach now?

    what's the weirdest dream you had? or any dreams, really :)

    I always have weird dreams. One that is really funny is when I made a quick trip to hell and was surprised at seeing some people there I didn't really expect to see there. lol I dream a lot that I'm moving or have moved in with my mom, which bothered me at first because she has been deceased...
