    the opposite of you?

    What are some words or phrases you'd use to describe the OPPOSITE of you? (I thought of this question while walking my dog this morning.) Here are a few opposites for me: Trendy Hipster Conforming Trusting Relaxed

    other peoples' feeling about you??

    How do you try to judge whether someone really likes you or just pretends to? Are there questions you ask yourself or clues you look for?

    "intimacy" in relationships

    Just read a number of posts here on the difficulty of making and keeping friendships, and this reminds me of my psychologist's big interest: intimacy. Not necessarily sex, but emotional intimacy. He believes that the most rewarding relationships have a balance of stability and intimacy. I guess...

    physical clumsiness?

    Thinking about one of the most frustrating, lifelong traits I've dealt with. Clumsiness, and terrible hand-eye coordination. I'm always dropping things, struggling to operate small knobs and switches, and trying not to knock things over. Walking on icy sidewalks is almost impossible, and when I...

    How much satisfaction do you get from buying something you want? I guess it's commonly thought that things don't give you friendship or love, but I disagree. Sometimes they can seem like very good, loyal friends. I admit that my favorite part of ordering something is the anticipation of opening...

    why I chose "AwkwardSilence" as ID here

    Since I'm new here, I have a lot of reading to do on the boards. But one phenomenon I'd like to ask about now: I've been told that most people, when asked a question, will either answer immediately or make some kind of sound ("hmmm..." "well..." "uh...") to let the questioner know they've been...

    Was afraid to jump in, but here I am...

    Hello, I've joined this community because I live in an adult Asperger's therapy desert (Vermont). Here there are no relevant support groups, and the few AS psychologists and programs focus on children. I see a generalist who is helpful but admits that AS hasn't been his thing. I'm especially...
