Watch one of those teen movies or tv shows you know the type or those feel good movies, the hardest part is learning how to use the correct tone of voice, with practice it all becomes a routine.

| I'm exactly like you, and I have to control myself to not get annoyed cause others aren't like me. I just stay quietly in the corner hoping it will end soon and everyone can go back to their normal lives. I refused to go to my grandfathers funeral so that family would not judge me.

| I tend to recognize people by their clothes, voice or where they are... that means that I will never recognize someone from work at the mall, or someone from school at the park until they talk to me. |

| I'm soooo glad I'm not the only one!! ! I live in Brazil and what I hate most is that here it's polite to greet someone - male or female- with a kiss on the cheek, even those you see everyday. People who know me already tell everyone in advance that I will not shake hands or kiss or even say hello b... |

| Even though I know I'm going to die alone, I also know that in the world we live in it's impossible to isolate ourselves completely, but everytime I am with someone(be the person a friend, a lover, relative etc.) I can't help but to keep thinking how much I WANT to be alone. |
