You know, this doesn't seem very welcoming. In fact, when I first joined it was very welcoming around here and now I've come back it seems really snarky, lots of seemingly underlying tension, negative energy. I came here to find people who I could get some understanding from and find out how...

That's because at first I was making an effort to help and then I got so satisfied over finding someone who understood me...I'm really bad at hijacking threads when I find some pretty big common ground like that. I wonder if there's a forum for Dr. Spock types.... I'll behave myself! lol

Hehe, I drive my husband absolutely insane. H: What color is that house? Me: It's white.....on this side I think I actually saw that vein on his forehead come up that time. He adores me, too. I don't understand how. I know how frustrating I am. :crazy:

I told my family if they can't care enough to learn to communicate with me than obviously we have nothing to say to one another. My mother decided to learn, my youngest brother is trying, my Grannie got grandmothered in.

I don't really run into too many folks like myself (This is the first time in 10 years honestly), so I know sometimes when they start disagreeing *I* read more into it than was there just because that's what I'm used to. It's like I can't just take the disagreement, I'm gearing up to defend...

IME, if you wait to be asked, you'll never find out. People just don't do that. I've also had many cases of this one: Me: "Can I ask you a few questions to better understand where you're coming from?" Person: "Oh YES!" (insert question) "Well don't you think that's rude????" DOH! When...

I think there's actually a mute button so you don't see anything they say or they see anything you say so you can converse with others without that input. I also feel like you do, that I don't belong to any special group, and I think that makes it even easier to feel like I'm not understood at...

I've done it once. I had to bus up to Dallas for my mom and I went voice off and pretended full deafness all the way there. I couldn't understand the loudspeaker at all, and I didn't want to chance not hearing my bus and missing it. They set me in the VIP section so they could find me and helped...

I actually have different ways to deal with it. (Wall of Text incoming) Also, almost all my interactions are non-hierarchical. Even those that shouldn't be, because honestly I don't do well with people who want to boss me around. Souvenirs of my childhood. 1. I don't talk to people very often...

I'm an INTP too, I didn't consider that. I just know my type and what other people have similar personalities. I should read more on it. I've always wondered if it was an aspie trait as well. It's one reason why I think I fall on the spectrum, but I figure if I do then I fall on the low end...

Teamint, correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to have the same problem I do, just on a much more extreme level. You are trying to intellectually box something that cannot be boxed very easily on an intellectual level because it's more emotionally based. You seem to have more trouble than I do...

That happened to me at 22. I never had an ear infection in my life before then. At 22 I got the most painful ear infection, my ear was actually swollen. I went for 2 years of ear infections, almost constant and I was on vicoden/hydrocodone the entire time. I've had 2 tubes in my right ear and 1...

Hi all! I'm Jalestra, Jal, J. I actually joined a couple of years ago and then right after I joined everything went insane and I disappeared. We finally moved to Houston, where I've been trying to get out of the house and stop hermitizing myself. Still a hermit, but only part time now. I...

I'm like Gypsy, it's just something I've gotten better and better at as my hearing loss has progressed....I've developed a new dislike of "mumblers", those that hardly move their lips when they speak..LOL

Oh, I love the stuff they come up with. When my 13 year old was 5 we're walking through a store and she pops out with "I wanna be a psycho when I grow up". Naturally I look at her kind of shocked and she says "I wanna be a psycho!" So I finally ask her what exactly she thinks a psycho does and...

deafbajagal, well said. That's what I was trying to say. While my husband isn't a complete Ward (I call that guy you described Ward, though I'm far from a June LOL), he is a lot Ward. He was raised in a real trad family. Daddy work, Mommy stay home..kids should be seen and not heard. I...

Jillio, I don't think you're being harsh I think you're misunderstanding me. When the whole family came down with a vicious case of the stomach flu, I had to take the 3 youngest to the ER at different times. So here I am puking sick and wishing I was dead, sitting in the ER for which ever kid. I...

I knew it would work out, it was just so overwhelming at the time with so much going on. HOW WILL I EVER DO THIS!!!??? And it has worked out wonderfully. I mean, all of us have days where it's like, y'know I could really do without THIS part of the parenting thing. But the great thing about them...

I was told I shouldn't learn to sign because it'll interfere with my ability to speak by the mom of a deaf son. A friend in high school had deaf parents and I understand how embarrassed some people are of speaking, so I applaud his confidence. At the same time I felt very sorry for her son...

Not looking for anything requiring surgery. LOL I've been put in contact with a couple of groups in this area, but until you are diagnosed they don't want anything to do with you. I can't get them to understand I need HELP getting diagnosed! Finding a good doctor and such. The most help I have...
