    Is It Realistic To...

    Is it realistic to pursue a relationship with an NT in the hope that they could be your lifetime partner? The older I get, the more I feel like the more normal a person is, the less hope there is that things could work out between us, because he will inevitably become disenchanted with me and...

    Please Help :'(

    I apologize that it has taken me this long to respond. I have been struggling with low energy for a while and have been in-between jobs for the past couple of weeks/on the search (recently found a new one, hoping for the best). I really love all of your suggestions. However, my greatest...

    Please Help :'(

    I have been feeling extremely depressed for some time now and it is very hard for me to see a way out of it. I have often felt trapped and still feel very stuck. I don't feel that I have the energy or the social skills or maybe even the human ability to connect with very many people in order to...

    Initiating Conversation, Hating Small Talk, & Taking Interest In Others

I have also been told this, to just keep asking people questions about themselves because with as easy it is for people to become self-absorbed, it can help them to transcend any of their self-consciousness and encourage the conversational flow. But like you said, if they're honestly...

    Initiating Conversation, Hating Small Talk, & Taking Interest In Others

    How do you go about doing any of the above? Currently I am 24 years old. I have a couple of friends that I see regularly but I'm at a point in my life where I feel like I truly need to branch out more. As I have noticed with many of you, I have also felt extremely disconnected from most people...

    Recently Diagnosed with HFA

    Hello Elemental! No, this is not me in my avatar, although I wouldn't mind if it were since she is very beautiful. Falconry would be pretty intriguing to get into, I'd say. In all honesty I didn't realize until just now that people did that sort of thing. It sounds really cool though :) Here is...

    Recently Diagnosed with HFA

    Hello, Feeling pretty uncomfortable as I write this. But I did intend to seek out to find others more like myself. For the most part I just tend to read these but usually feel more apprehensive to contribute anything of my own. It hasn't always been that way, but I've noticed it happening more...
