| I chose the 2nd variant but I can also say I like my job. The truth is I would prefer to have no job if I had some money to live a normal (not luxurious) life. I'm self-employed and can choose my own schedule. Can't imagine myself in the office again. I worked for two companies during 6 years and co... |

| Spot on and that is precisely what makes it unfair. Well, life's unfair isn't it :wink: I don't expect anything from people and hope they don't expect anything from me though I know some of them do. I don't expect they'll try to understand how my mind works. I actually believe this would do more ha... |

| I guess most people (AS\NT) have a certain stereotype in their minds like 'if somebody says I'm fat I'll never talk to him again' or I can't be a friend of someone who's always late'. Once you hit this apple in their brains you're done. |

| I hate dirty dishes but I hate washing them even more. Luckily I've got an NT husband who does it. I'd like to get a dishwasher but 1) there's no space in my studio and 2) my husband says he doesn't mind washing them so he's reluctant to pay for a dishwasher. |

| My mom was really emotionally abusive towards me and my dad. I ran away when I was around 22 and have lived on my own since then. A year ago she found me in Skype and gave me a call to say how much I had disappointed her. It was a short one because I only told her she can go f*ck herself, but my han... |

| Cats, definitely. I hope I'll have a cat of my own one day, but this seems too complicated at the moment. I like lizards, turtles and gekkos, too, but I'm scared of most dogs and seldom meet a dog I like. |

| I guess I started feeling grown-up when I began to live independently and provide for myself completely, without any aid or hope to get any help from anyone. That happened around 21 or 22 and I can't say I noticed this transition at that time. I was too busy living a life. |

| Hate weddings. My own official registration took around 5 minutes, I was wearing jeans and sneakers, as well as my BF (now husband), and cost us around $3.5. I never wear dresses or dress shoes. Besides, where I live we have foolish traditions when everyone takes a photographer and sits in a limo an... |

In my country, without watching porn we would have never learned anythi... |

Now I wash it once in 5-7 days and try not to touch it during the day to avoid getting them greasy and dirty. I've got very dry lo... |

As a toddler, I was very quiet and could keep myself busy, didn't like other kids and preferred to stay away from communication a... |
