The past 30 years I have had an office job but at the moment I'm not working. I quit my job because it became more and more too difficult for me to almost constantly be available for talking or listening to people, to be exposed to smells such as perfume, to participate in social events. Before I was acting and tolerating but now I can't any more. How do you earn your money? Maybe you ...

I'm not an Asperger but have many traits of them. Especially I don't like people coming close, sensibility to smells, don't like conversation, being short with people (extremely introvert).

My stepson is 29 years old - single dad with 1 child. He lives with his grandmother in another state. He is an alcoholic. He has had several run-ins with the law and has been put on probation and community service with hefty fines for his drinking. He has been court ordered to attend AA meetings and has even been caught in a bar drinking while on probation (he spend an additional week in jail ...

I dunno if this is where to post this question, but I don't know where else to.

How do you keep yourself from talking about yourself so much? Because I've been feeling really guilty about it lately, but I don't know what else to talk about unless something interesting happens or unless the person I'm talking to has something to say. It's just what's in my head.

I thought id just post this here, didnt know what it would fit in best,

Ive had a friend for 2 years and I still can't speak to him... you'd think by meeting up once a week for a year that i would get better and it would be easier to talk, but its just the same. Same with another friend i had... we arnt friends anymore because i never really spoke, only if she ...

Bored, so why not.

The sensation of a deadweight disaster,
Lost and found in a heart-beat.
With no will to succeed,
It finds me losing my capability.
The weight of a miracle wasted
By the faults of a self-centred soul;
An immense insensitivity
That breeds my insecurity.
Damaged organs and camouflage,
On a mission to find the interim,
Easy-won secret to self-control.

Lol. :roll:

Hi people,
I've been a bit screwed up in my head now for about 6 months now and have known that something wasn't right but havn't been able to nail it. Maybe you guys on here can help. I'm not gonna leave anything out, some of the things I'm gonna say I'm not proud of and some of the things I'm gonna say I'm ashamed of so please try and keep answers constructive on not ...

I seem to have a bad habit of saying things I think are really funny that are actually very hurtful to the people I am saying them too.

I have worked very hard cultivating this friendship I have with a workmate over the course of the past 3 months - I have no other friends and do not speak to my family. I have been taking an anti-depressant for the first time in my life ...

When Im in class , I keep thinking about my appearance. I ALWAYS look at pictures of other people and compare my nose with them. I HATE my nose and am waiting till I am 18 to get a nose job. Its ...

Although I've never sought a proper diagnosis for the disorder (and have no desire to; it has had no negative effect on my life thus far), I am fairly certain I have SPD.

In MBTI terms, I am an INTP. I feel the description for SPD is eerily similar to that of an INTP.

What is your MBTI type? Here are two different tests: http://similarminds.com/jung.html
