I come here unsure of what's going on with me, though I find many commonalities with what I've read here as a lurker only recently. I'd like to learn how people on these boards address and deal with issues that I may similarly deal with, so that I can feel more sure of myself and take the next step in my life.

I don't like hugs, although it seems a good handful of others like to hug me. I prefer tea mixed with milk to standard iced coffee, and I deplore hot drinks, even in winter. I like to write about many things, but have recently dabbled in paper craft. I like to make coasters out of tile and appreciate it when friends give me their old magazine paper that I may use when feeling artsy. I also like to make paper cranes repetitively, as it does calm me down.

I work in a cubicle.

Hi. I'm glad you posted here asking what's going on with me rather than what's wrong with me, because you sound like a really interesting person to me with your interest in paper craft. Hope you find solutions to some of the individual problems you have dealing with daily life. With regard to your adverse reaction to people hugging you, you should create a topic in the section on social skills and making friends. I'm sure people on this site will come up with answers for you. With your work situation I read your other post expressing your desire to become a lawyer. I'm a firm believer of following your dreams, so if that's what you really wish to do, then I would pursue that with all your energy and ignore those people who disagree with you.
