    Extreme social anxiety

    I knew a lady living in Paris who said the same thing and if you explore Paris through google street view you soon see why. Australia's sprawled out cities are a different matter though, and even in our biggest cities where you can get away without driving there's a stigma around not being able...

    Extreme social anxiety

    That's good, so if you got a job in the city it's not going to be like 4 hours each way each day to get to work. That sort of thing is a big deciding factor for employers when they're hiring too, how far you have to travel affects how reliable they think you might be. Don't give up. You'll find...

    Extreme social anxiety

    Far more important than for those in a city. Someone in a city can lie and say that they're worried about polluting the environment but out in rural districts if you can't drive then you're totally reliant on others. Much harder to find work and to escape from your childhood in rural areas too...

    Extreme social anxiety

    Having a driver's license is a big thing, even if you're only applying for an office job in the city. There's a stereotype around people that don't have a license, they're seen as socially immature and expect everyone else to drive them around all the time. When I quit school I was only 16, I...

    Extreme social anxiety

    Much older Aussie here. As a kid I was bullied pretty badly at school and my home life wasn't all that much better either, and I could have ended up with extreme social anxiety. Quitting school and getting a job at 16 changed everything for me. The people I worked with were really good to me...

    My plan of action against pervasive discontent.

    Adelaide is one of the very few planned cities in the world. The original settlement was at Glenelg and Adelaide was surveyed and mapped out before anyone ever lived there. The Glenelg Tram still runs, plus there's a few more trams in the city centre itself, but we have an extensive train...

    My plan of action against pervasive discontent.

    That's pretty much me too, except I live 100 metres from a train station and it's easy for me to go for walks through the parklands in the city. Adelaide is surrounded by parkland, and now I'm over 60 public transport is free.

    Ways Humans Can Help Other Animals

    Here it's only in the cooler regions in the south east that we have trouble with horses and donkeys and they could have been wiped out years ago if it wasn't for a bunch of non drinking non smoking cat loving tree hugging vegans getting in the way. They keep going to court to prevent the culls...

    Image Copy/Paste to this site only not working

    Take a look at what format the images you're trying to use are. This site accepts .JPG and .PNG formats but not .WEBP. More and more sites are using the .webp format these days simply because it makes it more difficult for third parties to use their images, although that never stops someone...

    Aussie birds make a lot of noise and there's nothing personal about it. Here's a short clip of the sounds we wake up to in mornings, to us these are the sounds of home.

    Language warning, but if you want a good laugh do a search for The Bali Belly Song. :)

    I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.

    Extremism in any form is evil. Capitalism, socialism, religion. The “us and them” mentality that leads to black and white thinking in an extreme form is known as fanaticism, people that won’t listen to reason regardless of all the evidence put before them, surrendering intelligence in favour of...

    All through my teens many of those songs got regular radio play, especially Time Warp. For music I grew up in a golden era.

    Sensitivity repeat exposure

    That one's my worst problem. Loud noises don't bother me, although some very high frequencies cause me severe pain. Won't happen in my lifetime but I'd dearly love to see electric leaf blowers get banned. Loud industrial noises are fine, loud rock music is fine. Crowds of people talking - can't...

    Sensitivity repeat exposure

    I found I can increase my tolerance to a certain degree, but that doesn't come without cost. It will still burn me out but if I want something badly enough then burn out it is.

    Eric Bristow, Piers Morgan & Susanna Reid

    I didn't even bother to watch it. I googled the names to find out who they were and that was enough for me to decide that it's just click bait junk.

    Eric Bristow, Piers Morgan & Susanna Reid

    Why do you keep paying attention to what TV personalities say? Being in the public eye does not automatically grant knowledge, or wisdom, or any form of legitimacy. In fact the entire entertainment industry is reknowned for it's lack of morals and ethics. Imagine living in a world created by...

    Aspies As Empaths: Fifteen Signs You Might Be an Empath

    I've always been very sensitive to what other people are really feeling and that gives me a great advantage when socialising, or when trying to get something I want. There's a huge mistake that people make when they hear the word Empathy though: Empathy does not equal Sympathy. In fact quite...
