| I use one of those handheld tally counters. The feeling when I click it is very soothing. Also, if I’m having anxiety I will use it to count a certain type of object. Maybe the number of red cars the bus passes, or trees I see. Focusing on spotting the objects distracts me from what is giving me anx... |

| I have always struggled with socializing. Even when i was very young. When i started going to school, it was nearly impossible for the teachers to get me to socialize with the other kids. Over my entire life, I have had maybe a handful of friends, and every one of them didn’t last long. I have a ver... |

| I used to be extremely suicidal, and even attempted once but failed. I hated life and being alive. I didn’t know it at the time, but the reason i was so unhappy and wanted a way out was because of how i was living. All the things i was doing didnt work for me because of how my brain works due to bei... |

| I do this as well. I’m horrible with procrastinating and “switching gears”. Have been my whole life. The cards idea is similar to what i do. I always have a small memo pad in my back pocket and a pen clipped to my front. I am taking notes and making lists all day long. I go through them crazy fast. ... |

| Welcome. I completely understand what your experiencing. Like you I am very high functioning and you probably would not know I have autism unless I told you. For many years i worked in kitchens.

| I am gay and very kinky. It’s just something I’ve always been into. Anything vanilla has never done it for me. I love a lot of the gear because of how it feels on my body. I tend to like tight fitting things that hug my body. I have a bulldog harness and it fits nice and snug on my chest. I love wea... |

| I have the same problem. Always have. Making friends has always been very difficult for me. I am very introverted. I have made some friends over the years, but they never last. I find it very difficult to keep contact and maintain the friendships. But that’s on the rare occasions in the past when i ... |
