| you a drinker? Or do you use any specific drugs regularly? Because I am (a drinker), and that's where the liver is around, and mine hurts occasionally, presumably as a result of my alcohol consumption. Your GP can give you a blood test. edit: or your family doctor, whatever you call that where you l... |

| Yes, but it's hard to act normally and relaxed around her if you talk to her for more than fifteen seconds. I hate awkward silences, and always try to stuff them with more small talk, lol... which might make the situation even worse for her Well, just sort of fill up the space yourself, and anticip... |

| Yes I strongly agree that Nietzsche was very self-contradictory. It's not that I take every thing he said as gospel, but there are certain things that strike a chord even if they are not scientific fact. I think even his self-contradiction had a logic of it's own probably intended to jolt people ou... |

| Yeah, I wouldn't raise it. Just talk to her and sort of bear in mind she finds it difficult. Be tactful. I would have frozen up and fled if someone had talked about any "syndromes" to me when I was at school (+ undiagnosed) or asked an awkwardly forward question like "do you enjoy me talking to you?... |

| basically I think she sounds like she has it and I wish I knew anyone in high school who was as considerate and understanding as you. Since you understand AS a bit, you are in a position to be friendly with and supportive of her. So, good on you for asking this and being interested. |

| I went red and became incoherent when I had to give presentations. When relaxed I was strange but could be fairly articulate in a gauche way. I've built up some psychological defences over the years but I still find presentations terrifying unless I drink first or something. |

| sounds like she might well be sounds identical to my behaviour when i was at school. Personally, I didn't so much mind people talking to me, but it made me feel bad when they interpreted my odd terse responses as rudeness. I liked people talking to me! I can only speak from personal experience, but ... |

| Incidentally (rambling on, but I adore Nietzsche and want to encourage you to explore him) his narrative in the geneaology of morals is, as history, nonsense, it's intended more as a counter-myth to the prevailing democratic/liberal/christian myths that he found objectionable. I doubt he ever believ... |

| And to directly answer your question, yes, I think I can identify with the elitist mindset of some dictators, Mussolini in particular. But some dictators, like Stalin, were extremely un-Nietzschean - drab, without imagination, without any sense of their own absurdity. Hitler was somewhere between St... |

"They seem disturbing even to me" is very Nietzschean.
Nietzsche is a complicated and wildly inconsistent philosopher - his inconsistency is a virtue, he's too honest not to make his uncertainties explicit and argue against everything he himself says. |

History by far.
edit: I mean, passing history exams at high school or even college level isn't necessarilly enormously difficult, but I've never come close to feeling any real understanding of the history of human affairs. |
