| Ok, this is the last topic regarding Sunday, since no one replied to my last posts. I had been upset because I don’t get as many opportunities to attend girls nights out. It would be nice if that would be more frequent in my life. I would also love to do a girl’s get away. For example, I would love ... |

| I was just thinking today that we live vicariously now via social media and TV- we relate to those characters more than our actual real life friends and family members. The reason I deleted my facebook page was because I realised I was watching the lives of people I went to school with and haven't ... |

| I had written about that autistic male who I had a crush on and who I believe was a covert narcissist and I had written about him on several occasions. However, he treated me like a yo-yo. On the contrary, I have had a few friends who were narcissists and I have learned that we don't pick them, they... |

| First, this is an updated post to an original one that I just wrote about in "Social Skills and Making Friends," on Sunday night. So if you would like to read about what happened as a reference, it's titled, "After two weeks of planning, she let us down." Long story short, a clos... |

| Yes, my other friend and I discussed this last night when she called me to let me know what was going on. Believe me, both of us were very upset this friend. We have had other issues with her before. A. She only texts us when she wants to dump on us about how autism affects her life and how no one u... |

| A couple weeks ago, while at a birthday celebration, I and friend talked about taking another friend out for her birthday. This friend had also set up a group text with three other friends. Finally, we had even set a date, which was set for tonight. Well, I had left the group text because it was get... |

| For, I have learned how to have conversations with them but I often don't connect with them to the point that we become close besties. A lot of them don't know how to communicate and nor do they know how to accept me. However, it depends because some people are more understanding and accepting than ... |

| A lot of it has to do with your body language next to reading others body language. For example, I have read that people socialize by having open body language. They also copy each other’s body language as well. You can learn about body language and socialization by doing a search on the internet. |

| Red flags that I have noticed regarding people who I have dated or had crushes on 1. When I was 18, a friend tried to set me up with a guy who told me that he was 17 when he was younger 2. I went on a double date with a guy who I just met at a train station, by meeting a friend and her then-fiancee.... |

| Yes, I have on a few occasions, and mainly because we drifted apart on various occasions. - I was very close with a friend who I met at a sheltered workshop when I doing a 30-day work evaluation. Though things were great from the start, we began drifting apart when it was clear that she and I both l... |

| Because I really don't. It's just a bunch of egomaniacs getting a big ego boost for some mediocre movies. And occasionally a celebrity tries to do something 'controversial' like Will Smith's slap or Lady Gaga showing up in a dress made of raw meat. I find it all incredibly pretentious. :| I never t... |

| That sounds like something not to take personally, your ex isn't feeling good right now due to sinking into a depression and facing some major problems of his own that are beyond your control. He's also making it clear that he's putting a distance between the two of you and doesn't want any more co... |
