| OK, so I've already finished secondary school and I have seen very few people in my year group outside of school; including people that may be considered 'friends', and I don't want to see them again nor keep in contact with them. I also did this when I left primary school. Is that wrong for me to ... |

| For some reason when I used Valium (diazepam), I needed at least 20 mg to experience a therapeutic effect of anxiolysis, as opposed to many other NTs who get effects at 5 - 10 mg on their first dose. It was strange, and for a while I hypothesized that I may have innately reduced GABA activity, hence... |

| My advice is controversial, but it is to study something you actually can parlay into a job in the real world. Everyone I know who studied something more practical had a lot easier time finding a job than those, like me, who studied something that didn't have a clear job path. (Well my degree does ... |

| I am both a mixture of superficial maturity and immaturity. However I find that I superficially get along with elderly people better, as I don't feel as self conscious; I know I'm not expected to connect to them a lot so I feel less awkward and embarrassed, which ironically results in more comfortab... |

| You could say "excuse me" and get your item. The body movement and your position may give them the message to move to the side. If they still don't move and you get the item, if you accidentally bump into them, you could say "sorry". |

| nicotin and adhd meds seem to have many effects in common. Why not just go for ritalin? People with ADHD are more prone to (nicotin) addiction + nicotin is very expensive (atleast here it is) I don't have an official ADHD diagnosis, and getting one is hard for adults, hence I can't get Ritalin etc. |

| The best way to treat ADHD is by consuming caffeine (that is, if you don't already take Ritalin or Adderall. Hell, scratch that, coffee helps me even if I'm already taking Ritalin) or taking ephedra (if you can find any and it doesn't personally give you any bad side effects). Smoking nicotine isn'... |

| I am also very interested in pure MDMA because it is well documented as having therapeutic qualities. My studies of autism have led me to believe it would work very well as a potentiator of empathy, as it is an empathogen after all. It probably brings us to an NTs level of empathy or more or maybe ... |
