Crying traumatizes me. People say that it's a relief to cry, but I don't find that true.

Having to socialize makes me miserable. People say it's necessary for happiness.

Talking about my problems just makes me feel worse. I feel much better just bottling everything up.

Going for a walk makes me feel bad. I don't care for fresh air.

I find sunshine very depressing. Just close the damn curtains!

Caffeine makes me sleepy, if it effected me at all. (sort of unrelated I guess)

I have noticed this, too. Sometimes it wakes me up; other times it puts me to sleep.

When I am really upset, talking to me doesn't work, it just makes me angrier and it's harder for me to listen.

Telling me to "calm down" doesn't do anything for me. I just find it annoying and I feel anger inside from it.

I'd rather not hang out with people, I feel fine by myself.

I am fine with seeing a movie over and over I like and not get tired of it.

I don't get tired of doing the same thing everyday, that's why I don't mind my job and I hear most people get tired of doing the same thing over and over but they deal with it because they need to make money to live.

I am more logical and precise than most people. Sometimes this makes for social difficulties. I am also very literal minded which sometimes annoys my NT correspondents.

That's true for me, too. Caffeine doesn't effect me either and I don't feel better after crying, just sore in the throat and nose and stiff eyed.

Cocoa is supposed to be invigorating but I always get sleepy drinking it.

I get no sugar kicks.

A childish one: When little I played a "cracks in the pavement" game. Later I learned that other children also had a version of this game. However they played it all wrong; they avoided walking on the cracks. I did the opposite. I had to step on all the cracks and I would take longer or shorter steps as needed to hit them. Also it was important that my left and wright foot hit the same number of cracks. If my left foot hit a broad crack, then my right foot had to step on two narrow ones. But things weren't really evened out before I had done the opposite (a broad for right foot, two small for left foot). It was of great importance that there was balance. If for instance my left foot hit a broad one, then I imagined the left foot feeling heavier,and it wasn't truly even before I had done as described above. I know of absolutely no one else that played this game.

Uuh.. I'm really chill. I like, never get mad at all, and I hardly worry. This isn't good though, because then other people have to worry. XD;;;; And if something doesn't go as planned, I usually don't even notice. Like if I get served the wrong food at a restaurant.

Caffeine doesn't really do anything to me either. If I have like a ton I get all shaky, but am still sleepy. XD;; Good combo, right?

And skunk smell, I love itttt.

lmao! XD That was epic to read. And you're right, you're the only one. I played the other game. Sometimes I still do unconsciously. D: It's kind of annoying. XD;

But I totally know what you mean about it having to be even! I used to do a lot of stuff like that too. Sometimes even with the same crazy detail, but usually the situation didn't call for it.

I like the gray days more than the sunny ones. When summer comes I don't feel the urge to go outside and soak it up, but when autumn comes I think: awesome!

I have the odd responses to caffeine that other people on here have. I don't so much feel tired as I don't feel anything from drinking coffee and red bull - it certainly doesn't wake me up.

I like listening to my old records, and watching old films, as much as I like discovering new ones.

I like staying in more than going out.

I stepped on the cracks too. I stopped after hearing the rhyme and taking it literally 'don't step on the cracks or you'll fall and break your back' and 'don't step on the line or you'll fall and break your spine'.

I like eating the pickle in my cheeseburger.

I don't have a desire to be social, as many times I've tried to explain this to people they still force me into it.

Super explosive/sensitive emotions, others not.
Often treat others' jokes as serious, and others often treat my jokes as serious as well.
People very easily recognize(get familiar with) my appearance/face compared to other people.
Super easily get addicted, others not.
Use logical thinking as decision-maker most of the time, while others often do based on what their emotions tell them to.
3-D geometry-savvy and have eidetic memory, others not.

Hah! My wife does, too. Maybe she's on the spectrum and she doesn't know it? :P

I have no desire to get drunk at all, unlike most of my peers and I don't feel silly about it.
I prefer nerds and what I find attractive isn't exactly what other girls prefer.
I don't care about popularity and don't put myself anywhere on the social hierahcy.
While others couldn't imagine anything worse than not going out and sitting on the computer all day, I am totally fine with it.
I don't get bored doing the same things.

I dislike the feeling of intense sunlight.
