Age difference with your SO?
Johnny Hammersticks replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives

I guess it boils down to a couple things. Are you functional in your everyday life, and are you content with your social competence/experience? Often times I will be consulting with a parent who has concerns over their child’s social skills/shyness. If I don’t see very obvious signs/symptoms of anxiety I will ask the parent “How does Johnny feel about this?” Parents are often shocked by this line of questioning. Some kids are completely content with only having one or two friends, and are completely functional in most other facets of their life. It is the parents who want to change them. Again, getting back to the notion of a “range of normalcy” with respect to an individual’s desire for social interactions. I know I’m viewing this through my narrow lenses as a school mental health practitioners, but I see parallels with SOME adults I know who are being treated for social anxiety disorder.

Of course. I think you’re missing my point. I feel that there has always been a “range of normalcy” with respect to an individual’s level of comfort in social situations. I work with children, and I see less tolerance for typical human differences. I feel that many children who are perhaps a little “shy” are often times quickly identified as having a mental health condition and put on meds. I don’t have any CDC stats to support this, but I would suspect that the prevalence of individuals diagnoses with SAD has exploded over the past 20 years. Just my subjective opinion as a mental health professional.

No disrespect intended, but isn’t this the normal human experience? Does anyone really enjoy weaving through large crowds of strangers? I don’t have social anxiety, but I also dislike going to crowded amusement parks, Fairs, school functions with the kids. For the sake of friendly discussion, does anyone else think that normal human shyness, social reticence, and sensory hypersensitivity has become increasingly over-pathologized? FTR...not being dismissive of anxiety disorders. I work in the mental health field, and I know for a fact that many people suffer from a legitimate chemical imbalance which causes them to experience organically caused mood disorders.

What the hell is wrong with people? -
Where’s Astro? I need my Camp updates!
Johnny Hammersticks replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He tweets links to his practice write-ups. Well, at least he did last year. He has been tweeting lately asking for folks to donate night session tix to him, so I think that he’s still going to do them. Why doesn’t he post here any longer? -
You mean John’s Allen?

Oh dear...

John's Allen's Contract Numbers Is In!!!

I only regret that I had but two large sodas to throw for my country. ‘Murica! -
My wife bought me a small home-brew kit a couple years ago for Christmas. It still sits on a shelf in my basement. Perhaps I will dig it out and give it a try? I believe it has the “makings” for an IPA and a blonde ale.

You been seeing rumors? Where? -
Simple. When the robot lady asks you about the purpose of your call say “cancel service.” That will get you directly to customer retention. Be kind and respectful (can’t hurt to come up with some sort of sob story), and you will typically get discounts equivalent to the cost of ST and a little more.

Hot for Teacher: Minnesota style
Johnny Hammersticks replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
We had a young female ISS (in school suspension) “teacher” who was having sex with a bunch of guys in my high school. She was gone suddenly after my junior year. Not sure if she got caught or not, but nothing ever hit the news. She was not that attractive. I graduated in ‘97. -
Bills sign LB Keenan Robinson, roster at 90
Johnny Hammersticks replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This stood out to me also. Has Katt Williams ever even been in a movie or TV show? I guess he was on that Wild and Out show on MTV. -
Marcia! How many of us have a better body then she?
Johnny Hammersticks replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, it would really suck being a multi-millionaire, future hall of fame NFL quarterback. Having a supermodel wife would really be terrible also. Get real dude... -
Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies
Johnny Hammersticks replied to Heitz's topic in Off the Wall
Agree with your assessment of Silicon Valley. I’m just finishing season 4, and while it’s still funny I feel like the series has gone on too long. I also really like the Asian character. His prank calls to Eurlich were hilarious, and also the episode where he volunteered to pay for his trip to Tibet and dropped him off at the airport. Really funny stuff. I recently say him (Jimmy O. Yang) on an episode of Drunk History and he was pretty good. Almost seemed like he had a NYC accent which was weird to hear. -
A question about friendships you have had
Johnny Hammersticks replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Cheers, my cheese eating friend. He’s just not that into you. Move on. You seem like a nice guy. I’m sure you have no trouble making friends. Chin up... -
Hahahahahahaha! I enjoy myself. Love you Gugs ?
