| That's a tough one. I know how obsessions are and how difficult it is studying when all your mind wants to do is resort to the obsession it feels most at ease with. I wonder if the thought of learning new things can actually make the obsession worse? Maybe it's an expression of insecurity about aqu... |

| I've recently become obsessed with a TV show, and it's interfering with my life because I want to watch it all of the time. I can't get my homework done the way I want to because my mind keeps going back to the show and pulling me to watch it. This has happened before, but last time I wasn't in scho... |

| I hate wearing gloves, because I find it very uncomfortable when I walk around or move my arms with them on. It's like the air is being abrasive on my skin, under the gloves. Does anyone else have this problem? |

| I have two friends, who are most likely both NT, however they are each a bit odd in their own way. |

| I marvel that he has a career based on listening to Song A (the original song) and turning it into Song B (his parody). I try to go back and forth between the two when I hear one. And the fact that he can still get away with polka style songs in this day and age is another feat to his credit. Some ... |

| I'm a picky eater. If it's something I really hate I'll gag while I try to eat it. I don't like accepting invitations to people's homes for dinner unless it's mentioned what they're' having, not that I get that many invitations. Yeah, I always get nervous when I have to go somewhere that is going t... |

| Weird Al is hilarious, I actually prefer a lot of his songs to the originals :P Me too. I love the eBay song as well, and his Michael Jackson parodies are classic. I love how he even parodies the music videos of the originals. One of my other favorites of his is Albuquerque. It might be a bit lesse... |

| Extremely picky! I also make food a big deal in my day. For example, if I'm hungry, I will hold out for hours until I find the perfect thing to eat. I can never understand people who just eat whatever simply because they are hungry. Anyone else like me? I am picky about things other than food too. ... |

| I remember when I was little, if I was asked to make a decision (such as what I would like to eat) I would have such a hard time. It was as though I didn't know how to think/make a decision. I would actually wonder, 'how do I think?' Even now, I still have this problem occasionally, particularly whe... |
