| All I can say is that psychedelics fixed that for me, for life. Psychedelics direct-wired me to my emotions and I felt love for the first time, love, affection, sympathy... Suddenly I was gifted with a powerful yearning for the warmth of human love. And that was fifty years ago. Still feel the love ... |

| Keeping it brief: From where I sit it seems like you're experiencing a lot of what the neurotypicals go through and believe it or not, you may be handling it better than you're inclined to think. By that I do not mean everything is okay and you're exaggerating, what I mean is, a lot of folks out the... |

These are largely political definitions, at least for many.
In my humble opinion I define Eastern Europe in 1961 terms, when the Iron Curtain descended on the continent. |

| I am not about to directly recommend psychedelics to anyone else because I am not any type of doctor. That said, my experiences as a teen in the early Seventies were overwhelmingly positive. (1967 to 1975) https://i.imgur.com/mPRAPf9.jpg As a kid I felt like I lived in a windowless concrete room but... |

| I always think tourettes syndrome must be really exhausting to have. A friend of mine had adhd and tourettes. It was really severe for him. He could suppress it for a certain length of time and then all hell would break loose. I have to agree because I had a heart attack on June 7th and the first t... |

It wasn't a happier me, just sharper. Long COVID? You clicked a switch in my head, because I've felt like a zom... |

| The Ukrainians are fighting our common enemy--Russia. And, no American soldiers are involved (at least officially). We need to help Ukraine all we can. Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, we sent a LOT of weapons, arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help them ... |

| When we form a crush on someone, do you think it is more intense than the crushes that NTs generally form? That seems to have been my experience-that past crushes involved me feeling more intense about it than the other person did. I would think about the person all of the time. Given our tendency ... |
