    eye contact

    I also have trouble watching videos/photos of people looking into the camera, or have close-ups of people's eyes. As a kid I couldn't have posters on my walls of people and I didn't like stuffed animals or action figures. I felt really creeped out by them. I think it's called Scopophobia.

    eye contact

    I have trouble with eye contact. I usually look at the person's nose and briefly glance into their eyes from time to time. I even feel very uncomfortable looking into my own eyes in the mirror while washing my face or shave.

    Are there any smells you cannot tolerate?

    Anything with a sulphur smell, eggs/matches etc. The place where i'm living now uses well water which has this strong sulphur smell. I have to drink bottled water all the time. All the water in the house comes from the well, so taking showers/washing dishes is difficult to do. Cooking oil when...

    What is this called?

    I have this pretty much everytime i talk. It takes extra time for me to put the words together in my mind before i respond, people usually give up waiting and move on. Translating the pictures in my mind into words is difficult. Sometimes people wonder if i'm even able to talk.

    I'm Starting Job Training Program

    Metaphorically Speaking...

    Not sure if this is on topic but i've always wondered why advertisers put the word "Real" on food labels, such as "Real Mayonaise". Does it make it sell better? Is there such a thing as "Fake Mayonaise"?

    Maladaptive daydreaming?

    I do this all the time, but i'm usually able to do other activities while doing it. It's usually interspersed with what i'm doing. But since i'm alone much of the time, it doesn't usually interfere, just slows me down a little bit. Actually sometimes it gives me creative ideas.

    the border between dream and reality

    I'm not sure if i can explain what i'm trying to do. I'm trying to quote each statement seperately, in a single person's post. Is that something i can do? But it doesnt look like the answers are coming from me, it looks like the person is answering there own questions.

    Does anyone have the same dream that is almost the same on multiple occasions, or continue where the previous one left off?
