| I am really not a "musical" person, never been a "fan" of anything not having any kind of proper musical education (due to my own laziness and comprehensive lack of discipline and motivation). So I'm doubtful of my judgment having any merit. So what are anyone's thoughts on the Smiths? I find them e... |

| That is some important insight, and I agree completely. But I am very pessimistic about society and the media tackling these issues. Social darwinism is on the rise. Those with "depression, loneliness, poor self esteem, and paranoia", on the spectrum or not, are expected to suck it up, take some med... |

| Ultimately the killer is to blame. But maybe some explanations for his behaviour can also be found in the dysfunctional parts of modern society and culture, for example the commodified view of sexuality and women? After all, he saw himself as entitled to get sex and adulation from women. And it's no... |

| Well the thing is, people on the internet can be very disgusting too, by being obnoxious, inconsiderate, annoying, rude and hateful. Trolling and Flaming can cause a lot of pain. But yes, I think this old article (warning: rather adult humour here) by Charlie Brooker sums up the anguish of having to... |

| I don't think it would be that different actually. I have come to acquire a very bleak view of human nature myself and I think all the bad stuff such as selfishness, ignorance, bigotry, greed and hatred will still be there. I have witnessed all the nasty streaks that are found in NTs in people with ... |

| "Sub-clinical narcs", I think that is a great way of putting it! I wish you all the best for the future. Thank you so much for the insight and that link in particular! Sometimes I think, that in at least in the case of narcissism upbringing and the environment must be the main factors. It seems that... |

| Did anyone have some experiences with people you have suspected of suffering from these, um, conditions? Of course the title is somewhat inaccurate, as I think the DSM-V has come up with something different, but then I have heard that the DSM has never been a very scientific thing. I once attended a... |

| Being 23, I thought it would have gone away. Now it has gotten stronger, alas, but I know it is a rather foolish sentiment, nothing I am proud of really. It has probably a lot to do with the fact that I graduated and are now doing my graduate school in a different city and a different country, and I... |

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but I'd also recommend:
Peep Show (especially the earlier seasons)
The Fast Show (not too sure about the rehash though)
Knowing me, Knowing you with Alan Partridge
The Armstrong and Miller Show (has some very clever sketches) |

| Why, Asperger of course. Sorry, being facetious here as German's my first language. ahs-pair-ger well, don't know how to put it into IPA. That's the closest to the German pronounciation more or less. I insist on using that in English all the time (being supposedly in need of rigid routines and all t... |
