| Just be yourself unless you're either trying to date someone, or trying to get a job. In which case, no one is themselves. Generally speaking, you don't need to impress anyone. I'm not interested in dating but I am interested in getting a better paying job later. Sometimes I think I'm doing ok and ... |

| I usually can avoid anything obviously weird most of the time... but every once in a while I'll screw up. People just don't get how frustrating this can be or how much hell it can put someone through to have to learn this by trial and error. All they can do most of the time is judge harshly and/or ... |

| One of the problems I run into is that someone will be having a conversation about something I want to chime in on. I will wait patiently for them to stop talking and then a second person will respond to them before I do, and then change the subject to something else before I even got a chance to re... |

| Thanks everyone for the replies. I agree one of the worst things is when they don't openly laugh. At least when they laugh, you get some kind of feedback that tells you to control a certain action/sound, etc. However if they just badmouth you behind your back you can go on doing the thing without re... |

| Sometimes it has been hard for me to realize what I seem like to other people because I'm only thinking about how things feel internally. For example in Jr. High sometimes when I was sitting at my desk I would put my hand up against my cheekbone with my elbow on the table and rest like that. It wou... |

| Yeah I hated it when especially teachers would annoying tell me to stop doing various movements like twirling my hair, drumming my fingers, etc. as if it was somehow their business. I felt like any soothing motions were seen as bad which contributed to making me feel bad about myself. I felt like th... |

| This used to be a big problem with me when it came to customer service. I had to slowly learn how to force a laugh that sounded natural. They would tell stupid repetitive jokes like "working hard or hardly working?" or "It's free right?" and look expectantly at me. I would keep a... |

| The Renly/Loras thing in the book was much more toned down. You could try reading the books because even though they have some sex in them, you don't have to actually watch anything like that. |

| My workplace does not provide an adequate break room. I could technically go in there, but it's crammed full of people and it's the size of a walk-in closet. I like to be alone when I'm eating because it's more comfortable for me. I also don't have a car I can sit in right now even though I plan to ... |

I just sent an email to the address on that page. Thanks for the link.... |
