As a kid I always ate with my feet up. Letting them hang in the chair was so uncomfortable for me. I had to keep my knees by my chin to feel comfortable. My mom hated it.... now I'm an adult and I eat all of my meals with at least on foot on the chair. If I'm somewhere nice I just just sit cross-legged with my legs under the table. No one ever knows. lol


Oh my goodness I am EXACTLY the same. EXACTLY.

It's so amazing for me to read this thread because so, so many of the things people have said apply to me and I've never felt more understood!

The most aspie moment I had today was when I went to paint pottery with my friends and they were standing around chatting beforehand but I knew we didn't have much time, so I kept being like, "Come on! We haven't got enough time!" and my friend was like "You're really stressing me out..." Well, I was stressed because of the time constraints and I love painting and wanted to get on with it instead of dithering with everyone else's unnecessary chit-chat! I felt bad though haha :oops:

Captain Mills, what on earth are you doing on WrongPlanet? I haven't seen you since CoS, though I do plan to peek in and toast the Professor on the third of next month.

(If you're a different Captain Mills please accept my apologies. You can PM me to tell me off or to confirm my recognition otherwise...I'm known everywhere as "Lyra")
