Okay, so I'll just jump right in here and save you the rambling.

I'm a 16 year old girl, and recently I have become aware of an internal conciousness other then my own. Although, this is NOT the first time I have been aware of her.

The first time I knew her I was around 13 years old. To make a long story short, I had had an online relationship with a man 5 years ...

Machiavellianism is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "the employment of cunning and duplicity in statecraft or in general conduct", deriving from the Italian Renaissance diplomat and writer Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote Il Principe (The Prince) and other works.

Machiavellianism is also a term that some social and personality psychologists use to describe a person's tendency to deceive and manipulate other people for their personal gain.

Hi, I'm new here and I would love to hear about the most effective techniques you've used to help with AvPD. Maybe we could all help each other out.

I'll start. (This is part of a post I left in PQ's new forum.) I found this a few years ago in another chat room. I know its about social anxiety disorder, but all the symptoms overlap with AvPD. What this guy (gal?) had to say ...

Hello everyone. :D

I am around 60 years old, have an Aspie son and have been through the same as most of you all for as long as I can remember. I have also done all of the online tests which suggest that I ...
