| I've been so sick but unable to communicate it right for too long. I was doing fine on my own, even with trying to diagnose and recover from a chronic inflammatory condition, but my landlord assaulted me in April and injured, I shut down. Struggling to get protection legally failed so I moved out in... |

| I hyperfocus into repetitive tasks and thus can easily do them for hours and hours without noticing the time much less anything else. It's good in that sense but bad in the sense of missing other things going on, like someone trying to talk to me, or working longer than I'm supposed to and then not ... |

No latex and the sex functioned as it's supposed to. However once a month the infection still happened. Turns out the majority of the feminine pads w... |

| I've had this in a number of workplaces, and I'm yet to find any good ways of dealing with it. I'm quite certain I go into such workplaces with the word 'victim' tattooed on my forehead in NT-only ink. My inability to participate in these pointless social rituals sees me eventually ostracised and b... |

| I lacked the sense of entitlement to their time and money that their other partners had had. I am much more male than female and my interests and attitudes reflect this. I never intended to marry or have children. Many didn't understand this at all. I was not able to fall in love with them, but the... |

| It doesn't even occur to me to lie much less cheat. So far, every single one of my relationships (all 3, Ooo) ended because I found out the guy cheated on me and I broke up with him.
