| If you're a bit OCD (at least in the digital domain) like me, maybe you don't want to add your own spin on things in case your opinions change over time, but you don't want to have to edit past posts so you put very little "human touch" to your entire online legacy. Normies seem to not car... |

| Hundreds of times and always suppressed it. I was at primary/elementary school during the time when HIV/AIDS was first released into the general public so all the other boys at school were very anti-homosexuality and I guess I felt their disgust was justified. I felt disgusted when my mother discove... |

The only way to know is to meet everybody on the planet, until then, you're bisexual or asexual.  |

| It's a very nonsensical stereotype! It's like confusing left and right with up or down really. Most people discover who they are attracted to long before puberty, and long before ever hearing about the subject of paedophilia (edit: or certainly this was the case before the information age), so a lo... |

| I have AS and do have some difficulty carrying conversation and fitting in with my peers. However I would say that I have developed control over most of my obvious signs of Autism to the point that very few have ever figured out I have AS until I have told them.

| If I call myself ret*d, but never anybody else, am I likely to upset anybody? I'm not always very sensitive, but I try to be. I'm just not in the most positive state of mind, due to not feeling like I'm speaking the same language as anybody in my family or phone book, so I felt it was long overdue t... |
