    Do Aspies like other Aspies

    Definitely, yes!!! It's like I have a smell for other Aspies and am so insanely drawn to their complicated and interesting personalities. I don't care how messed up they are because I am too. :))) Definitely value an Aspie friend, an Aspie boyfriend...Aspie family members, especially is they...

    Comment by 'Arcturus' in 'Why living with other people is hell for those with AS..'

    Hell for me too - that's why I live on my own and choose who to have around. Even living with family was agonizing. I put the need to live on my own in front of any other need (e.g. financial), and somehow things are working out. E.g. I am not starving even though I am a student with a student...

    Comment by 'Arcturus' in 'On Longing to Belong and on Love'

    My only warning with these videos will be: do not depend on them and do not rely on them to "save" you. I have noticed that people following AH blindly have had negative experiences from idolizing and putting in a lot of effort (I mean, idolizing often brings destructive results). Definitely...

    Probably the wrong place to ask this,

    To me, love is no longer an emotional attachment solely. I think it has evolved into an outpour of appreciation for the other person's just being + attachment. The need to be loved comes from a different root, I feel. Normally if I want to/am desperate to be loved by someone, it means that I am...

    On Longing to Belong and on Love

    I went to an Aspie meetup the other day in my town and they told me it's not worth it getting diagnosed! I feel like an Aspie but still struggling to understand whether I fit the criteria. Obviously, there are some criteria that I don't fit. Does it mean that I don't belong here? Probably not. I...

    Do You Lack Motivation?

    Same problem, yes. Could have a ton of energy and motivation or no energy at all. And even when there is motivation, one little thing could kill it completely, e.g. something upsetting me. Then life is over and there is no point in doing anything. I tend to give up abruptly. And millions of...

    Comment by 'Arcturus' in 'Back to "normal"'

    Yes, it's true, a lot of people choose to not be involved and withdraw when you are going through hard times. This is what hurts the most and never stops hurting. I myself can withdraw emotionally from sensory overload and weird people out, even offend someone, but I will always find other ways...

    Andrew_Collins What's funny is that we taught them to do this...they completely depend on junk food now.

    Unhealthy hightnened sense of responsibility - a curse or a blessing

    Oh, ABSOLUTELY. This one I am used to. I need many hours of solitude time a day. There was an interesting article in a university newspaper once called "Leave me alone, I am lonely". It was about introverts in general. Quite precise descriptions.

    Unhealthy hightnened sense of responsibility - a curse or a blessing

    Yes, it quite confuses me. A lot of my personality traits are in conflict with each other.

    Unhealthy hightnened sense of responsibility - a curse or a blessing

    Definitely want to live longer...however, I am horrible at time management, that's the funny thing, and do my best when complete tasks at random times.

    Unhealthy hightnened sense of responsibility - a curse or a blessing

    I am on the right track, then! I went from the office into music. And self-employment is something I want to explore more than anything.

    Unhealthy hightnened sense of responsibility - a curse or a blessing

    I read about type B and I fit the creativity, exploring ideas and being reflective parameters...In fact, having too many creative ideas makes me stressed too. Thank you for your advice, I value it and will keep working!
