| As a young child I once had a friend, but I don't really remember what it was like. I think I would be able to make friends if I would be willing to do so. But in this case I would have to invest much time, and I fear these expenses exceed the benefits of having friends. Meeting people involuntarily... |

| I can't remember my own face never mind anyone else's. :lol: Lol, same here. Seriously, isn't that just normal? All those who can remember faces in detail must have a photographic memory, at least when it comes to visual information about faces. I consider that ability to be a disorder. People who ... |

| One of the most bothering problems I experience is that I often do not know when and how much to drink. Either I do not experience thirst or I misinterpret that feeling. Thus I have established specific times of day that help me to reach the ideal daily quantity (1.5l, excluding food’s moisture cont... |

| Respect them when they seem to be stupid, when they laugh at you and you don't know why. Respect them because they have something that you do not possess, because they are superior to you in many ways. Do not try to interfere because you do not understand them, because your world is yours, let their... |

| Sometimes I've got the feeling that emotions can merely be experienced while reading a book, watching a film or listening to music. Of course this attitude could be the result of an exaggerated sense of romance. Films and books try to construct a world of exaggerated emotions. But they trigger feeli... |

| Hello, sometimes it is really difficult for me to realize my aims. I'm a severe procrastinator. My strategy: setting up a timetable, then executing it strictly. Once in a while that works and really satisfies me, but mostly it doesn't. Instead of that I keep surfing the internet like an information ... |

| Hello, the topic of international relations and foreign policy sparked my interest several months ago. Recently I tried to apply the techniques being used for the analysis of foreign policy to social behavior. And it worked stupendously well. No doubt: A lot ambiguous "social relations stuff" can be... |

| There is a world, but it's not my world. There is a truth, but it's not my truth. There is a mendacity, but I don't want to be part of it. I don't like human theater, but actors like it. I don't like the world, but the alternative is even worse. I don't like our mendacity, but the escape would be fa... |

| Please excuse my language mistakes, English is not my mother tongue. - What's my philosophy? Judging my own value higher than the value of other human beings makes me feel guilty. But for me, (financial) advantages show that I appraise it higher. This contradiction causes the basic conflict. How ca... |
