    Imam Ali wisdom

    For me, fear isn't about being terrified, but it is more than awed. Christian theology says that all sins are forgiven for believers, and you enter into a new convenant with God as your parent. But he's your parent. And good parents will discipline, not to punish, but to help you become the...

    People on reddit and other forums can be so mean

    Yes, Reddit is highly confusing and seems geared towards drama queens. When I first learned about the possibility of autism, I tried to learn about it by browsing Reddit. Now, I realize that autism comes in many varieties, but the autism sites on Reddit seem to cater to a very specific of...

    I would trade it all

    I'd be tempted to respond to these kind of advances with "ok, but are you willing to marry on the first date?" just to watch their reaction.

    He's not an easy one to keep busy! Ignores almost every toy (including Legos). Seems to prefer hunting down household tools/appliances/items and doesn't seem happy with the toy versions. We'll keep working on alternative outlets.

    I leave my kid with the TV for half an hour and come back to him having tiled the hardwood floor by gluing paper to it. Thankfully glue was still wet so I washed it off. He did quite a good job of "retiling" the floor though, lol.

    How do i know if a guy has a crush on me

    I think he does like you, but beware that at that hormone-unstable age, his ideal romance might look a lot different than yours. If you have boundaries in a relationship, be prepared to defend them.

    How I see things

    Identity is a complicated topic that I believe resonates a lot more with NTs than NDs, for sure. Alexithymia doesn't help. Paul compares our earthly bodies as being "seeds" that wither to make way for the glorious plants of our eternal bodies. I like that comparison.

    How celibate woman became a threat.....

    I would be very honest in your profile. 17 years ago on Match.com I wrote I was looking for a man to marry with compatible views and desires, and I did not want to waste my time with anyone not aligned with that. Got a lot more men agreeing with me than I thought, but then again, this was in the...

    Have to change churches after 5 loyal years.

    Tony, take an intellectual step back - I could easily tell you, yes, it is awful that your current church does not look like a "real" church, go to your new church. That would make me more likable to you. But I do like you, and it is because I like you that I am saying this stuff, stuff that...

    How to tell someone off when they comment your behaviour?

    Me telling off someone in my mind: "Why do you care what I do? Don't you have anything better to comment on or worry about? I'll do what I want!" Me telling off someone in reality: *be self-conscious, whimper something deflecting, scurries off at first opportunity, vows to never have any social...

    My memory problem

    I find that my memory is simply wired differently than others'. I can remember almost nothing about other people (names, faces, details) and a lot about random things or texts I encounter. Most NTs seem wired in the opposite direction.

    Have to change churches after 5 loyal years.

    Yes, and I would agree that the church is not fulfilling your spiritual needs and you probably should switch churches. But, if you already had an "us" in the form of male companionship, why specifically seek out single women? That's where I am getting lost. Did one of the elders or deacons...

    @thejuice - it's not entirely conscious, but it's been hand/arm bouncing and leg bouncing for me. @marc_101 - yes, my therapist claims this is a sign therapy is working. my husband says I am much more "present."

    Have to change churches after 5 loyal years.

    Tony, I say this only because I want to help you. I've seen you post a while now, and from my perspective, it seems that you flip rapidly between deciding someone / something is good for you and someone / something is awful for you. I understand Tony as an awfully lonely person who is trying...
