| Having a socially awkward lying "give away" body language while telling the truth sucks. Gets you in trouble all the time and don't bother trying to defend yourself. It will make you look even more guilty lol. |

| I try to avoid following scripts, because I think it sounds hollow and profoundly disrespectful, and feel quite bad when there doesn't seem to be anything non-stereotyped for me to say in the situation at hand. For example, when I can't avoid speaking the same exact words to several people in a row... |

I tend to start relaxing with the scripting when I start to feel very comfortable around someone. At which point, I tend to lose them.

| I do not think this is odd. I can be quite extroverted, but it does not come across very well. The biggest reason i SEEM introverted is when I am focused on my goal or activity and I can be ver extroverted. I like sharing my interests and knowledge and random thoughts AND I think out loud. I am edg... |

| I don't know maybe it something that alot of people do. Like when I talk to people I sort a plan what I am gonna say and it normally is generic like the weather, tv shows, and I have a really bad habit of repeating conversions with people. I can fool people at first thinking that I have really good ... |

To be honest I actually kinda liked the dentist. The dentist I visited it very nice and I would get a free toothbrush.
Except that time I needed a tooth extraction *shudders* |

| I wasn't really liked throughout my school career. I was sort of a pariah in high school. I became more liked when I became an adult. Awww I'm sorry to hear that. Y'know what else is sad? The fact that I read some comments saying that they had a friend that did not like a "Brian" in the g... |

| When I was about 7 years old, I used to go up to people and ask something like "Why are you fat?" I was the type that like to tell people my abilities--like knowing all the capitals of the 1969 world when I was 8. I don't think I wanted to boast. I just wanted to communicate with people. ... |

| I do I can't keep still when I am nervous! People tell to just keep still. I can't! movement helps me keep calm. If I keep still I get even more nervous! Aspies get anxiety and people with anxiety walk in circles. Walking in circles is not a sign of autism but it is a sign of anxiety. Yeah I think ... |

| Homophobia is often caused by people taking their (abrahamic) religions too seriously. As a result they believe that LGBTs are some sort of scum that shouldn't exist. In the absence of religion, I see no reason to be LGBT-phobic. Could it also be that people who had bad experiences with LGBT people... |
