| I find it a sad thought that some poor devil will have to clear my house of all the junk I've collected when I kick the bucket. I guess with you, your things feel more like pets, only with real pets somebody usually adopts them. :( Me, I'm more sad about having to cease to exist, and more scared abo... |

| I did start eating healthier when I was about 40, yes. I started to panic a bit about bad diet and smoking too much. I'm scared of cancer and the horrible treatments they have for it. Wasn't too hard to fix the eating because I'd been into health food since I was a teenager and liked the taste of go... |

| It's tricky if you keep yourself to yourself a lot. I think people feel safer about people they know a bit about, and suspicious of people they don't. Hate to say it, but I think a bit of small talk seems to go a long way. It's good to reveal a bit about who you are and what you do, in small doses, ... |

| As individuals, I don't care what their brain wiring is as long as they treat me with respect and we get on OK, and I've known some good people who are very likely NT. They may have a few skills that I don't have, so we can complement each other. But ASD types and NTs tend to have particular problem... |

| I was about half and half. I never consciously decided to isolate myself, and always started to feel lonely if I had to be alone for a long time, but wasn't fazed by a few hours of working on a project. I didn't feel unpopular and wasn't really non-social as a kid. If somebody was willing to play or... |

| I remembered this comment you made in another thread a while back. It seems relevant to the current discussion. I very rarely benefit from trigger warnings myself, so it's hard for me to appreciate the circumstances in which another person might find one useful. https://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewt... |

Very. Probably the most triggering one I've ever seen. Needs excellent people skills to discuss it without doing more harm than good. Those are very rare. I think everybody made mistakes, self included. People's experiences in such debates are very different. |
