    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    oh wow! I feel... very seen. You are pretty spot on with that one. My family situation was... challenging and it has affected many areas of my life including my current relationships and mental health journey deeply. I'm kinda curious about how you could tell lol. I will look into the groups you...

    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    This really hit home. I see so much of myself in what you wrote. Sometimes it feels like life is a constant choice between "being me" and being devastatingly alone. And the advice is excellent :) I will endeavor to put it to good use! Though talking to people is... difficult, it is usually the...

    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    I get this! My friends and loved ones are 100% the reason that I am, as you put it, well rounded. If it was up to me, I would basically live in a library. They make sure I try something new... every now and again. I am much better about regulating how deeply I immerse myself in topics when it...

    Thank you... hearing this made me feel a lot less strange. Not that I want other people to struggle with the same things I do but it's nice to not be alone in it. If other people can figure it out then there is hope for me :)

    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    Thank you! this was a really helpful way to look at it. Now that I'm thinking about it more, I think, deep down, I always expected my partner to reciprocate the interest I took in their hobbies. You know... every action has an equal and opposite reaction... that sort of thing. But that's not the...

    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    Personality mirroring was a new term for me and I had so much fun reading about it! It is something I relate too a lot. More so in the setting of the general public than in my personal relationships. But I will read and think about it more. Figuring out how far I go to fit in, to be excepted...

    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    Thank you for your reply! Its really encouraging to hear that two people can work with the ways they are different to enrich each others lives and that space (or not participating in each others interests) doesn't need to be interpreted as not caring. Hearing your story brightened my day...

    Adopting the interests/hobbies of significant other

    umm Hi!!! So first off I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this or I created a thread for the wrong thing or something. Social media is really not a strong point for me. But I'm choosing to see it as a work in progress lol. Please let me know (kindly) if I've messed this up. So...

    Hi! I’m new

    Hi Xinyta... I can so relate. The first time I read a book on Asperger's I got this gut level feeling of coming home. Its funny that you never know how lost you are/were till you find were you belong.
