    I like psychology. Mental abnormalities interest me. I do have extreme social anxiety, but it doesn't appear to influence my score on this test.

    My aunt's ex-boyfriend and long time band mate has some severe Aspergers or something. He goes on and on about uninteresting things and never takes the social cues that his rambling is unwanted. The problem is just as much with him as it is the politeness of the people he's talking to, who do not have the gull to let him know that he needs to stop. He walks in uninvited without knocking, and at times his comments can be impolite or even slightly insulting. He is oblivious to how inappropriate he is being, or how uncomfortable he can make people feel, or how boring his ramblings are, or how dumb his quirky greetings are. He always talks about his mother. We get updates on his mother and stories about her every time he's around. If you try to change the subject, he lets you have a few words, then he goes back to what HE was talking about. He's very annoying but I kinda feel bad for the guy. Hell of a guitar player, though.

    I've known people like that. Sounds almost like an extreme lack of sensitivity.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I haven't gotten comments. But I only do it in places where I am known.
