I can deffinately relate to your situation Dennis. I'm 25 also, I've had very few (short) relationships and each one I somehow f****d up, and each one made me feel worse than the last. I've dealt with depression and anxiety most of my life and my self-esteem has deffinately suffered over the years. ... |

All my life I've been uncomfortable sitting(or standing) too close to anyone, the only exeption being a girl I'm attracted to. When I was a kid I was horrible in the car or taking a family picture, and I would throw a fit if one of my brothers touched my leg with his(usually on purpose). Nowadays I ... |

I'm a very good driver, but I have some problems when it comes to driving in unfamiliar locations. I have a lot of trouble following written directions (it's easier if I print out a google map or something). I miss turns and get lost and frustrated, but I have few problems finding new places in town... |

Thanks for the replies, it helps just to know someone's listning. It's usually hard for me to talk about the things that really bother me, but writing helps me and I feel a little better getting that off my chest. I hope things get better with me and my brother, but things will never be the same bet... |

I've had suicidal thoughts since 12 years old, but for the last year or two, my life has seemed more and more hopeless and I've been moving closer to actually killing myself. One of the only things keeping me going was the love of my brother and the hope that we would go through with our plans of ge... |

Scarecrow, I know where you're coming from. All my life I've lied to everyone about my many problems and it wasn't until a few years ago when I learned what AS was that I realized I wasn't the only person in the world dealing with this. Since then I've opened up to a few people (by few I mean 3) abo... |

You know how most plush toys have those little tags? Well, I was obsessed with the tag on mine. You know, one of those tags hanging off the side saying where it was from? It used to feel like that sort of shiny stuff, but I used to rub it against my index finger all the time. It's hard to describe,... |

I compulsively tracing out certain shapes with my eyes, for example outlining a square sign and blinking when my eyes reach the corners, or I find the center of an object and blink.

I find that I keep a lot of my emotions hidden most of the time. I tend to withdraw rather than reach out, even towards loved ones. I have a hard time expressing my feelings, and the sadder or angrier or stressed out I get, the harder it gets to talk to people at all. |

The idea of evil is a product of humans. Nature has a certain balance which some consider cruel, but that's a matter of perspective. Two male rams will fight for dominance, but won't kill each other or hold a grudge. Some people will kill others out of hate instead of necessity. I wonder sometimes i... |
