| Perfumes, and artifical flavors in soaps and shampoos, do not mix well with human odors. This. No scented products are allowed in my home. It makes me sneeze, get headaches, and feel nauseous depending on the smell. I'm not the best at keeping up with hygiene. I shower 3 times a week on average. I ... |

| Yeah, that is precisely where I always fail. I have trouble just listening to people's problems in a detached manner. Listening to their problems starts causing me distress. And the way that I deal with it is to try to make the problem go away, which is usually through advice. Otherwise, I have ver... |

| Familiarity breeds contempt? What I consider to be negative traits in myself are very difficult to deal with in others sometimes. Though, if I know someone is an Aspie and they do something that I find offensive/irrational, I let it go. As for NTs, I will usually call them out and tell them why some... |

| I turned my back on the world after routine bullying took its toll, and five years of my life were spent in a time-loop of procrastination, even the rigours of personal hygiene were too much of a chore to maintain. An apt description of my mental and emotional state at the time would be a feeling o... |

Unless the job she wants requires a degree, I recommend certification instead. Or even on the job training. I... |
