| I don't wear anything other than high merino wool content hiking socks, they are a lot thicker and fit much more comfortably than the elasticky cheap socks you get in supermarkets, particularly because they don't squeeze your feet nearly as much.

| I have got the "no enthusiasm" feedback in the past as well. First of all, if you have a monotone voice or flat affect, try and practice speaking and emoting more like an NT if you can at all, I naturally have a very muted affect when I'm stressed and I come off as robotic, most NT intervi... |

| Why not buy something in the town you live in but put a cap on your time there? Does it make it easier to think about staying in your town if you knew it was only going to be a couple of years?
