| I'm Ortodox. I did none of this you are accusing, and you have been very rude and unfair. Where is now we all have equal rights blah blah blah I'm very very disappointed now. I really didn't expect prejudices and hatred here, not on this site. Thanks for forcing me out before I made even bigger mis... |

| I've been to this ceremony, and I believe in it. I have a friend who has gone twice, and her candles lit up entirely by themselves, before anyone even passed the fire to her. Yes, I've seen people passing their faces through it. Why don't you all just take turns slapping me? Telling me I'm stupid, a... |

| Three days ago I sent him a message asking to speak on Skype sometime this week. He replied last night, saying he is busy this week but would make time next week to talk. Yet he has no problem posting stuff on FB and going on forums that have to do with his special interests. I'm starting to think ... |

| As far as studying, I think the first decision to make (maybe) is whether you are interested in academic analysis and critique or practicing. For me, anyway, that would determine whether I majored in religious studies vs. going to seminary. As for jobs.....other than professor....and professor itsel... |

Just as he has to see if he has the strength, it will take a lot of strength on your part. Maybe as he is trying to work on himself (at least to the minimum of not contac... |

| Besides slightly squinting along with the lips smiling to mimic what NTs are saying... try raising your eyebrows and slightly widening your eyes. This is the FAR easier expression to fake, imo. It's the face that tend to NTs make automatically when interacting with babies (for reference, so you can... |

| Sometimes it's just that group of people, unfortunately. I have been to churches where the people weren't welcoming, I have been to some where everyone was nice, but I just didn't think I'd really fit in comfortably, and now I am at one where it's like a big, eccentric family. I hope you are able to... |

| I don't know why, but that girl is trying to send signals that she doesn't want you around her - that she wants to avoid you, she doesn't want friendship with you, maybe she is afraid that you think she is a friend, when she doesn't want a friendship with you. This is an awful feeling - it's why I a... |

And I forget lots of stuff, I do things in a jumbled way rather than a smooth and rational/logical approach - I h... |
