Re: Do you ever try to work Slow to make your Work Last?

Yes I do this all the time, but only because often there isn't enough work to keep me going through my shift. If there is plenty of work to do then I shift up a gear and get as much done as possible....

Re: If you could go back, would you?

If I knew then what I knew now, I would absolutely go back, in a heartbeat. Would save me half a lifetime of stress and mental health problems. But you can't, can you? The best anyone can do is focus...

Re: People from your past you dread bumping into

Anyone from my old high school. Unlikely as this was back in the 80s, but still I have no desire to revisit those days.

Re: Boss asked me to come to a Presentation!

If it's just going to be an informal round-table discussion type affair, usually in my experience one or two people do most of the talking. You probably wouldn't be expected to make any kind of...

Re: How often do you cry

Never and I try to keep it that way.

Re: Anyone here work in IT support?

About a year or two back I seriously considered going into this line of work, even getting qualified and all. Ultimately, I couldn't get hired because of lack of experience. In hindsight this was a...

Re: Boss asked me to come to a Presentation!

Not sure exactly why your boss is asking for input when you obviously aren't able to make a meaningful contribution. Maybe she just wants a second opinion. Nothing too strange about that, it could...

Re: I don’t like most people I recently realised. Or I am not that interested in them

I don't so much dislike people themselves, but I'm not interested in hearing about all the trivial, everyday stuff most people like to talk about. That doesn't interest me at all. However, I do meet...

Re: Anxiety is affecting my life.

Anxiety really is a complete nightmare when it gets going. I'm having episodes a lot right now and I don't have any real control over it either. Have tried meditation and am taking antidepressants...

Re: Do you like human beings?

Not at all but you have to work with what you've got.

Much prefer cats.

Re: What do you want out of life?

Just want someone to talk to. Like that's gonna happen.

That doesn't make it any easier but it can be overcome with the right support.

Re: Feeling really unliked by everyone and low in self-confidence

Yes I can absolutely relate to that feeling of not being liked and the isolation that goes along with it. It's something I don't think I'll ever be able to fully come to terms with. How can anyone...

Re: I'm baffled how people and society in general work?

I'm not sure I agree with that conclusion. In my experience the great majority of people are decent and kind. Yes there is always a difficult, nasty minority but IMHO they are the exception to the...

Re: Lack of 'banter'- Root of my anxiety and depression

It constantly amazes me how (most) other people seem to have no problem with small talk. I just don't know what to say. Usually I say very little if anything. Not to be rude or anything - there...

Re: University Isolated from hallmates

That sounds like the worst situation imaginable for someone with SA. Just reading that is almost painful :( I can absolutely sympathize with what you are going through. When I went to uni (many years...

Re: I'm a waste

I am the same height as you and I would do anything to be the same weight. This is one problem you definitely shouldn't worry about. As far as the insomnia problem is concerned I don't see why you...

Re: Out of interest

I didn't know SA existed until I was in my mid 20s. Had I known what was wrong with me earlier I doubt it would have made any difference. At least I get meds now. I suppose that's a plus.

Re: What is your job and do you like it?

I develop software for a living and by and large I find it interesting and enjoyable (except the boring parts). I suppose I'm lucky to have a job at all. It's good to have a routine and a sense of...

Re: If you were to dissappear...

I don't think anyone notices me when I am around so for me it would make little difference. Of course, not being noticed is what I am trying to do most of the time anyway so I guess that makes sense....

Re: Do you think that most people like you or don't like you?

Most people don't like me. I don't like them either.

Re: SA makes people feel awkward around me

You could be right about them not wanting to speak to you. Then again, there could be another reason. If they really don't want to see you then make sure you don't do them any favours in future. It's...
