I yell. I don't explain myself well. I believe people don't like me. Very often I forget where I put things. I loathe that new people schmooze me. When I ask someone his or her name I forget to listen to what it is. I save stuff in case I need it and many times I never need, but sometimes a dumb thing I picked up cheap has come in very handy, like magic. Magic, like the thing knew I was going to need it before I knew. When someone provokes me with made up insults I give them back what I really think, but never on the forum. I tease @Jayhawker Soule. I laugh at my computer screen even if they who live here can hear me. I pretend that I know what people are thinking. I don't clean the house every week, but when I was a JW and had a husband who hated that I was one, I cleaned every Saturday so I wouldn't feel guilty about not going out in the service....the service of catching unsuspecting souls. It took me a long time to figure that out. I reason with people even if I know they hate it. I hate that they hate it.

1/ I'm too thin, always have been, sounds wonderful but i got sick of being called beanpole before the end of junior school.

2/ I have dyslexia so never learned to read until i was 14, makes discussion threads interesting. But i love to read. After being diagnosed and corrective filters made i started to learn by reading a book. First page took a week, i got quicker and by the last page i had encountered a very slow epiphany and i was hooked.

3/ I have a spina bifida, only one vertebra so its not disabling but it makes me walk stiffly The stiff, upright back gives people the impression of elegance... ha! And i wish i could dance without looking like a drunken robot.

4/ I cant stand deliberate ignorance or ...

5/ lies

6/ Crowds make me edgy

7/ As a legacy of 2 my spelling and grammar sucks.

There is more but not suitable for a public thread

Damn, just posted mine before reading yours, there is stuff in there i should have mentioned.
 

Gambrinus

accumulative error
Several years ago I fell from a ladder and broke my neck it has been fused with a titanium plate, then I had rotator cuff surgery. Now I suffer from cervical vertigo, tinnitus, confusion and chronic pain.
I have been to several doctors and physical therapist but I still have to spend most of my time in a recliner chair.

I could be more active if I just had the pain to deal with, but the dizziness makes it very difficult to function.

It can be physical, mental or other.
Your choice.

Getting things started, I....
- Dislike crowds.
- Am stressed when hearing 2 people talking simultaneously.
- Am low on empathy.
- Have been slow at picking up social skills.
- Am prone to obsessing over arcane things, but easily distracted.
(Read this as feckless dilatant.)
- Dislike social rituals.
- Loathe having to schmooze with new people.
- Tend to take things literally.
- Tend to see all possible meanings in a statement, & find it difficult to discern which is intended.

There is more.
That is enuf6.

I feel most alive in a big noisy crowd!

For years I have practiced the skill
of following multiple conversations.
(It is not that hard, one word in ten may
be enough)

Love social rituals-depending a bit-
and try to perfect them.

I like designer clothes and
accessories.

And, doing housework au nat.

I have a big scar above my left ear
and wesr thick nerd-glasses.

We used Fortran and punch cards...go ahead and laugh if you wish..
Me too. Those were the days when computers were real computers, programmers really need to know real programming and programming an 026 keypunch was essential.

Hmmm...what's wrong with me.....ok...I got it

I'm stunningly handsome
Physically blessed
Highly educated
Highly intelligent
Independently wealthy
And if those are whats wrong with me...imagine what'a right with me :D

Seriously, in the real world off the web
- I do not anger quickly, but when I do get angry, you don't want to be there, but it also subsides rather quickly
- I do not suffer fools well
- I have no patience for liars and thieves
- I have arthritis in my knees and hips
- I can get bored easily, lose interest, and then it gets hard to complete things I am required to complete
- If I have a list of things to do, and I do not want to do the first thing on the list, I tend to do none of it until I get the first thing done. And that generally takes a whole lot longer than it should (I am starting just skip that thing and do the rest of the things on the list. This seems to work, when I remember to do it, because by the time I finish the list, they have generally forgotten about the thing I did not do.

Wow! Everything, me too! Except that my pain is in my neck, back, and knee.

I like watching people even though I know it isn't polite and that they might not like it. So, crowds are good but only if there is something to pay attention to.

Let me know if later you want to delete the thread (since it has personal info in it), and I'll nip it for you.

I probably have many of those shortcomings with some differences. Comparing myself with famous people I think I am a lot like Douglass Adams. Something good about me is that I have a very good ability to see colors and high acuity -- unlike many people who have limited color sensitivity. My color range is probably superior, and I think I see some of the more extreme spectra or used to when I was younger.

I am probably more comfortable than you in social situation though less accomplished. My empathy is Ok though nothing special. I have a burning sense of self righteous anger that could someday get me into trouble, so I keep that under control.

My DNA is pretty decent. I probably will never have a heart attack. I have inherited allergies, so I am in thrall to the medical industry. Someday I'll probably need some new parts, but there is about a 20% chance I may live to be 200+ depending on various things. Of course by then the younger people will be wanting me to move on, and the next fifty years are probably going to stink. Even so, I think that the future is terribly interesting.

I am extremely naive, um to a fault, and Idealistic to the point of stupidity. I can say from personal experience and deep regret that the whole Transgender "thing" is bogus. The Mental Health Professional community made a severely bad call in promoting it. They should have treated my severe PTSD instead. The problem with just "switching back" is that I am Intersex enough (XXY, AIS and who knows what?) that in most respects, I like living the way I am. What happened effectively ended my budding career in Religion, and it has been a wild ride sorting that out. The loss of my Family has been most crushing...

Somehow, in most ways, I am well taken care of and I am thankful.

I know what that is. I used to have several boxes of punch-cards, containing all the programs I did in College. OCD much? ;)

Most were FORTRAN, some were COBOL, and at the end? PL1. IBM's attempt to monopolize programming language. It was kind of a flop: if there was one way to do something in PL1? There were likely 10 more way to do the exact same task....

Later on? I realized I had no punch-card reading machine, and did not have a clue who did-- so they all got turned into arts and crafts. Probably a thousand cards or so.
