    Music You Love

    This is one of the great live TV performances ever: Otis Redding, Eric Burden, Chris Farlowe; for fans of 60s soul, highly recommended:

    I wish I could have a girlfriend

    On the other hand, the Facebook quiz has spoken, so I think it's safe to assume it will all come true.;)

    I wish I could have a girlfriend

    Apart from some basic generalisations (which may be true on average), stop thinking of people as "women". Mainly because if you seem desperate for the company and attention of women generally, any one woman will see right through that. Show genuine interest in the one person you are actually...

    Music You Love

    I don't have the time to explain what it means to me and why, but the sweet and wonderful sound of Motown does a lot for me in terms of helping me manage my emotions and stay balanced and generally chipper.

    Can you recommend me some Punk Rock...?

    yes, this is great!

    Can you recommend me some Punk Rock...?

    Wow, thanks that's quite a list! I've only heard of X-ray Spex (adore them) so I'll enjoy exploring the other ones.

    Can you recommend me some Punk Rock...?

    So I've recently been going to the gym to burn off my excess of anxious energy (it works wonders btw) and so I've been getting back into music again having not listened much for a while. I've been making punk rock/hardcore playlists to listen to while working out because it really seems to go...

    How You Deal With These Kind Of Jealousy, Rejection & Disappointment Scenarios ???

    I would say I relate most to the talent one. I just lack any particular talent for anything and am generally plagued with self doubt when I try my hand at anything, while it looks like some people just have natural aptitudes for things. Whatever mine is, I've not yet discovered it so I lack that...

    How You Deal With These Kind Of Jealousy, Rejection & Disappointment Scenarios ???

    I think there's no end to your misery as long as you insist on comparing yourself with other people. I think we on the spectrum are destined to be more frustrated in life than those who are not, but I think we can make it worse for ourselves if we dwell on these differences. Even NTs are...

    Anyone feel like Spock in this scene?

    I concur with Sportster. I hate being asked simple things like "How are you?", because they're not simple at all. Often all they want is a non-specific "fine thanks". If that's true, what's the point of this merry dance if everyone always says the same thing. But if they do want the truth, they...

    Anger Issues

    I concur with this. I have found meditation to be an excellent way to gain some detachment and control over negative emotions that would otherwise carry me away with them. If you can get into a habit of allowing yourself to sit quietly and watch your thoughts without getting entangled in them...

    Want someone to be a friend, but they are not interested

    This thread is very relevant to me right now. I've been trying to make friends with someone and I've got to that stage I always get to where I remember that I've tried so many times in the past to make friends with many people and failed so many times, I can't believe I let myself believe it...

    Making people uncomfortable and not sure how...?

    Also, don't think in terms of 'wrong'. You may appear different to him, but that's okay. If this was school you might expect people to think of you as 'wrong', but in the real world those people who are worth knowing will see through your apparent differences and still accept you. I have to...

    Making people uncomfortable and not sure how...?

    ah, yes I know exactly what you mean. It's much harder when you do care what they think and you want to be able to make sure you're doing the right thing. I have exactly the same issue quite often, and am having the same problem with someone at work at the moment too. I empathise but can't tell...

    Making people uncomfortable and not sure how...?

    This is a good question, something I've come across throughout my life. My thinking is that due to my aspie-based social problems and the subtle, unintended body language I give off (or fail to give off), I create a slightly 'off' atmosphere about myself that puts people ill at ease. This is...
