    Neurotype has no bearing on how difficult a relationship is.

    I'm not sure what KISS is? No, because trust or no trust, if somethings going wrong its going wrong either way... I just find all this so difficult.

    Neurotype has no bearing on how difficult a relationship is.

    We try to communicate, but the misunderstandings and then complete overthinking makes it tough to believe or accept the others words.

    As the title says (at least in my experience). I struggle just as much if not MORE trying to keep a relationship going with an aspie. We both overanalyze and get mad and frustrated and misunderstand eachother and its so hard.

    Practising Apathy seems like the only way to go.

    Meltdowns ?

    What you describe, ie the apathy, is how I shutdown. Meltdown is more physical ie scratching, hair pulling, screaming. Different kinds of overload I think.

    Is it possible to become emotionless?

    I just need to wait it out another 20 years or so and things should settle lol

    The Vortex

    Further to my post about not wanting to feel, and as art therapy, I painted this. Its a visual representation of emotions, as I interpret them. The bright colours, yellow and orange, which are thinner and more spread out, are representative of the positive emotions - joy and calm. The reds...

    Is it possible to become emotionless?

    Like, if I didn't feel, I wouldn't care that I didn't care. I would hurt a lot less.

    Is it possible to become emotionless?

    Even love can be a painful emotion. Its TOO much intensity :(

    Is it possible to become emotionless?

    Its both a blessing and a curse. It means I'm quite intuitive. It means I care very deeply. etc. But it also means I'm always crackling with emotion. And while its good emotion its great! But negative emotion... well...

    Is it possible to become emotionless?

    Serious question. I feel too intensely, I'm sick of feeling my own and everyone else's emotions so strongly. How can I stop this? I don't want to feel.
