| I don't understand the point of fake nails. I can't stand having my nails grow longer than a couple of milimeters before I have to clip them, it feels like a sensory issue for me, it freaks me out. |

| I voted for "a few close friends". But in reality I don't have any friends. I think it would be nice to have someone to talk to sometimes, but I don't know if I would be able to handle all the stuff you have to think of and do to maintain a friendship. My experience with others is that the... |

| I was extremely shy as a kid. I wouldn't answer if people asked me something, I was always observing and not participating. |

| I have my special interests that I've had most of my life and some that are just a period of time. But sometimes I get obsessed with doing small things, I just have to do them. For example, I recently ordered a christmas gift for my son online. Once I decided to get it, I spent hours and hours findi... |

| The thing that makes me sure that I don't have social anxiety is the fact that I really don't care that much what people think of me (but I don't want to hurt them). I get anxious in social situations because I don't always know how to behave, problems reading social cues etc but it's not out of fea... |

| Yes! Finally someone who explains how I feel. I am trapped inside myself and I can't show who I am, I cannot put into words everything that's in my mind and everything I understand. There's an invisible bubble that keeps me from fully participating with the rest of the world, but I am here, inside m... |

| I really dislike changing the clock, the change stresses me out. Because of the stress and change in my sleep routines my muscles are sore, I am tired and have a headache most of the time. |
