Half of the childhood was spent on arguing with my sister about our different definitions of friendship. That debate has yet settled.

Waking up in an unusual hour and seeing your friends on Yahoo chat online too.

Came out to one of my friends from junior high few years ago, to which he said “Everyone at school knew”.
The symptom is “having trouble making friends”. And my problem was never that I didn't know how to do it. But that there were not many people I wanted to be friends with. That's why I called people dense whenever they made the autism joke.
Also, I probably have the most negative views on civilization among everyone I know as I kept screaming at my sister “Naive people annoy me!”. It made sense that solitude came as a choice rather than a deficit.

Too many times I hear people comment on people with splitting behaviors something along the lines: “But they are total angels when they don't split”, or “I know deep down they are kind and empathetic”.
Well, when someone denies aggression ever exists at all, of course what you have left is an overly helpful person and all other good traits, at least in public. But the thing about being emotionally dishonest regularly is you never know when the dark side comes and goes. You can't have just the self-sacrificing person for your benefit. Because more often than not, they find loopholes along the way to justify the cruelty when it's necessary. It's kind of a whole package deal.

I had to learn a better sleep schedule for my health because I'm responsible now. But stayed up till 2am doing homework and listening to music then slept in the schoolyard the next day was way better.

I wasn't an environmentalist. My friends didn't know they were from trash.
