Yes, I think that is a possibility.

What do you like to do to help make yourself feel better when you are feeling sad?

Pets, music, stimming.

same q

Go for a long walk somewhere with trees and birds or distract myself with a time-consuming physical task, like cleaning the house or baking.

What travel experience left the greatest impression on you?

I spent a month in Australia but it was probably an overnight stop in S. Korea on the way back that made a bigger impression. It's the only time I've experienced looking significantly different from everyone else. Most places I've been, until I speak, I could pass for a local. So it was eye opening what it is like to be stared at because you look different. And also being excluded by the language, although many signs are in English too, a lot of the visual language just looks like squiggles - you can't even make a guess at how they're pronounced. That's super isolating. And then there's the bombardment of noises, lights and sounds (I was in Seoul at night). Proper culture shock. That whole experience is sort of dream-like in my memory. It probably stands out more because it was brief also.

Same q.

Thailand, for much the same reason.
Google translate was just integrating camera translation, so mostly I was typing, and had no idea about signage. Bangkok wasn't too bad as they cater to foreigners more, but hunting the rocket festival through regional areas I was entirely dependent on google and the occasional English speaking local.
I found waving a $5 note was a magical summons for translation. (I did have the presence of mind to NOT do that when the police grabbed me at a temple... Then the regional head of the FBI made me sit at his table for the feast)

Boring ol' me says "same question"

That's difficult to rank,
with the parents we did weekend trips, or day trips, but they had always the embarrassing meltdown of dad,
and something always happened, eg, after we'd mudhiked to an island, saving, or nor, drunk germans on a beach from drowning , then needed to walk through the nude beach(es) to get to the harbour
Later, after doing cold turkey, bf and me decided to go travel, and work the wine harvest, very interesting and memorable, mostly we stayed with one farmer and his bedridden wife, we cleaned up the kitchen and the laundry piles, the garden, the kennels, etc, eventually bf even got the woman to walk some every day,
the farmer found us some other jobs, sometimes he took us with him to the big food market (not retail) very early, interesting

How many brothers and or sisters do you have? Older or younger?

I have one sibling - a brother. He’s 2 and a half years older than me and is my best friend although we did NOT get along when we were kids.

Same question.

I have no siblings. I don't recommend it. It gets lonely being the only young person in the house, and I think having a sibling to talk to would've had a positive effect on my ability to talk to other people. And at least once you're an adult, siblings can be like premade friends. Seeing how close my mom and aunt are makes me wish I could have that. Not to mention that when my parents get old and I have to take care of them all the responsibility will be on me. I vowed long ago that if I ever have children I will have at least two.

Same q

1 older brother, 1 younger.
The elder is clearly aspie...the jury is still out on my younger sibling

Carbonhalo, you forgot to ask a question.

Well, let's resume with the 'siblings' question: I have twin brothers, two years younger than me and semi-identical.

Do you think the country you live in is getting better or worse?

Worse

Same question.

The same, most definitely.

Do you like wine?

Kind of. I've yet to try what sweet wine tastes like.

Have you ever had your heartbeat sync to music?

Not at all.

When was the last time you believed you were being attacked here on Wrong Planet?

I don't think I've ever been attacked here. But I'm not that sensitive to these things. I've seen people on here claim to have been attacked when I've seen what's been written and I just think, "Why do you care?" I don't mean to invalidate anyone's response to anything, just to say that I don't really understand it. Personally, I don't really care if someone I don't know says something mean to me on the internet. It's water off my hairy duck's back.

What happens when you get too far from your house?
