| *waves hand in the air* Yup, another one over here. Reading posts like these make me feel less like the odd-one-out. Reminds me why WP is so helpful in some regards. As others have described, I also could cope with a relationship if there was plenty of space & alone-time. Throw in sensory issue... |

| Council Tax is (I thnk) what used to be 'rates' - your share of the cost of communal services provided by the local council & it's based on the value of your property. You get a single person discount of 25% but amounts are set by the council for your area. Personally I think you're in a much be... |

| I have the opposite problem. People are always getting in my way. Apparently it's normal to - Walk slowly with your friends, 5 abreast. - Stop to have a conversation RIGHT IN A FRICKING DOORWAY. - Occasionally walk diagonally on a footpath that is going straight ahead, making it impossible for peop... |

| It's wrong to hate on women, as a group, as much as it's wrong to hate on men. If you don't get on with the women you're with, that's because of what they're like, not because what women as an homogeneous mass are like. Otherwise you'd not be here talking to other females about how you all feel the ... |

| I liked the quirks of the original & enjoyed the sequel, though wished they'd have kept the original Sam Lake character model (good 'not your usual hero' feel to it). This one... initially the 'hitman' styling of him in pre-release screencaps put me off, yet another bullet-headed character which... |

| I find truth in Spiritblooms answer. I get better at recognising situations that require a different response to my usual, innate reaction. E.g. friends / colleagues asking me how I am - if they are busy then they probably don't want a long interaction, they just want to show me friendliness or poli... |

| I usually don't like the feeling of dirt, grit and cold. I get cold hands and feet, even in Summer (well, UK version of Summer, rain of a different temperature!). If i'm somewhere hot then it's easier to do, though dusty feet still feel odd. It can feel wonderful though, the feeling of grass pulled ... |

| Interesting posts caveman2, you're right that those in caring professions have a high burnout rate. It's a shame that the narcissists and egotists have the best time of it, being in their bubbles of imperviousness, whilst the ones who see the problems in others and want to help alleviate that pain c... |

| I can write with either hand. I was taught to write right handed, but if my right hand is occupied I will use the left one. Neither hand has good handwriting. +1 , though less good with left these days. I used to write equally well with my left hand, despite not using it as much, but my RH script w... |

I found this album of Symphonic Pink Floyd really good too, it does justice to the originals rather than making them into muzak versions.

I'm in my 50s. All I can say is... other people don't find alarms, slamming doors, crowds, sirens, bright light... |
