To be honest I find it interesting that you view only females as aliens. For me, the entire human race is the alien. Or actually, I am the alien, and everybody else is a member of the native species.
Do you have any idea on why it is like this for you? Is it all women, or only attractive ones? |

| i think that web chats may help learn how to carry on conversations and make small talk, but they do not give the same practice as real-life interaction. normal everyday interaction with people is a lot more complex, over half of what a person is saying is through nonverbal means, like body language... |

| Hi :) Im a 24 year old female living currently in Eastern Europe. I was never diagnosed with anything, because for my parents anything to do with mental problems and psychiatry is the ultimate shame, and only "crazy degenerates" see psychiatrists.
