    Sensory Processing Disorder

    Has anybody heard of sensory processing disorder? A lot of the symptoms are similar to someone with Asperger's. I linked the checklist, if anybody is interested. You have to scroll down the page a bit to find it. Adolescent & Adult SPD Checklist If you decided to read the checklist, do any...

    He called me by her name

    When we were just friends, he told me she was the perfect girl for him. Now that we're together, he swears that he sees her like a sister. She's one of his closest friends. He's called us by each other's name on more than one occasion. I asked if it's because he wishes we were in switched...

    My Mother Talks Too Much

    My mother has guests this week and if other people are around she talks non stop. I wake up in the morning to an endless stream of loud talking. Luckily, the people are only here in the mornings. When family comes to visit, it goes on all day long. Mostly my mother talking loudly, interrupting...

    How Do You Overcome Feeling Unlovable?

    I can't shake these feelings. I'm in therapy, in a support group, trying to be positive, trying to find hobbies and positive outlets, but nothing works. I still feel unlovable, like I'm not worthy of having close relationships with real emotional bonds. It's the only thing that I've ever...

    Chasing Someone You're Interested In

    I've noticed a pattern that I can't seem to break. A guy shows interest and initiates contact, but eventually I end up chasing him. I don't exactly know how this happens. I'm not exactly sure when the tables turn and I begin chasing him, but it happens every time. Does this happen to anyone...

    Mixed Signals

    What does it mean when a guy gives mixed signals? Sometimes he's friendly, sometimes slightly flirtatious, sometimes he gives the body language " back off " . I can't figure out if he's not interested at all, slightly interested, interested but confused/scared, or just playing games. Maybe it...

    Mr. Unavailable

    Today I saw a couple holding hands at the grocery store. I got a twinge of jealousy. I often think about how nice it would be to have someone to do all the mundane things with. I keep wondering where all of the nice guys are. The ones who will open the door for me, and treat me with respect...

    Judging Ourselves by Unfair Standards

    I've seen many people say things like: I'm a certain age, and I've only done A and B with my life, and I should already be at X and Y. I haven't experienced X so that means I'm: a loser, a failure, a pathetic person. It's not fair to judge ourselves based on societal norms. It doesn't make...

    Father Issues

    This may not seem like a topic for an SA forum. However, I've realized that my SA is in great part a result of self esteem issues, and those self-esteem issues are directly connected to issues with my father. Do any of you also experience this connection?

    Was I Stood Up?

    I befriended a guy from a support group. He's very nice and we seem to get along really well. We started hanging out just about every day. The last time we got together was two Fridays ago. He said he'd call me and we planned to get together Tuesday. He called Tuesday and said he wasn't feeling...

    Situational SA

    Does anyone have situational SA? Mine is around teens and twenty-somethings. When I go out in public, this is the group that will stare/glare at me. They mentally pick me apart, look me up and down, smirk and give me a look like "God, what a loser." I don't get this look from any other age...

    Guy Friend

    I've been spending a lot of time with a guy friend lately. He said that he considers me a friend, but he also said that he should probably be with a girl like me. Is there any chance of things evolving, or am I stuck in the friend zone?

    Passive-Aggressive Friend

    I have a history of making friends with people who are passive-aggressive. At first, they seem to be very mild-mannered, friendly and patient. The truth is, it's just their inability to be assertive. When they get upset with me, they never let me know it. They just let it fester inside...

    Mini messenger

    95% of the time, the site messenger doesn't work for me. It shows a yellow caution triangle. Even when I log back in and refresh the page. The rare times the messenger works, I find several messages from people, but I am unable to either read them or respond. I'd like to fix this if possible...

    In Therapy for Self Hatred

    I've decided to tackle my self-hatred head on. I'm tired of hating myself. I've realized that I have to actively work on reprogramming my natural tendency to put myself down about everything. I'm the only one standing in my way. People treat me the way I allow them to. When I send out the...

    Freaks and Geeks

    Did anybody happen to catch this short-lived show? The network didn't support it enough and it never found an audience. I loved how realistic it was. I guess that was its downfall. It must've hit a little too close to home. Anyway, great writing and cast. James Franco and Seth Rogen are the...

    Need for Validation

    I'm unable to overcome my need for validation in everything I do. I have spoken to counselor's, read self-help books, browsed various websites, tried positive affirmations, CBT, ' fake it 'til you make it' techniques, looked into Buddhism, prayed; nothing has worked. I no longer believe the...
