    NPD /ASD what's the relationship?

    You hit the nail on the head there, Sparticus: they are our complete opposite... a sort of dark, twisted reflection. My mother is a pathological narcissist, I know them intimately as well.

    Pacing back and forth

    A-ha! I, too, sometimes hop over to the computer for a minute instead of pacing while brushing. :giggle2: I feel the same way about just standing there in the bathroom... the other day I was stuck in there while brushing -- can't remember why -- and I couldn't help but sway back and forth...

    Mid-life gay female aspie what do i do ???

    This doesn't seem to be so much an issue about your newly-understood sexual orientation (but congratulations on figuring yourself out :D ) as it is about you needing to define some healthy boundaries with your mother. You have every right to live your life the way you see fit and as your mother...

    What era would you like to live in?

    I'd like to live either a few hundred thousand years ago as a member of a small, autonomous group of homo neanderthalensis (before the advent of the so-called "sapiens"...) or perhaps just a little bit into the future, when those of us that remain after the inevitable environmental crisis /...

    A Most Random Truth!

    Nice. ;) I do this so that I'll know in advance what it's likely to look like if they lie to me about something more important in the future. :sneaky:

    Pacing back and forth

    I pace too. Either back and forth or in small circles -- first around one way a few times, then often around the other just to change things up a bit. Mostly I do it when I'm forced to stay in one place like if I'm waiting for something that's almost finished cooking to be ready or -- most...

    A Most Random Truth!

    I am such a sap, but that is such a sweet thing to say I think I'm gonna go off and have a little happy-cry right now. :redface:

    Comment by 'Verum' in 'Blog # 15: SHE JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!!'

    Holy crap! You use the same Holy Trinity of People Repellent that I do -- a book, sunglasses, and headphones. Your mother must really be something to so willfully disregard them. Then again... that's family for you. :rolleyes2: My sympathies!

    What Is Something You Are Really Good At?

    @ Peace - Holy similarities, Batman! I also collect rocks (holy crap, like... a LOT of them) and have a cherry tree, an apple tree (only one because Galas are partially self-pollinizing, but I also grow quinces and pears), and I too collect many kinds of berries... we must compare fruit-notes...

    Greetings and Salutations Cupcakes

    You're welcome, but allow me to inform you that bishonen is a largely aesthetic term (which is what I was referring to when I complemented your avatar's appearance), whereas the term shonen merely refers to an age/gender classification or a literary genre of manga targeted toward that particular...
