    Being "impolite"

    Hello everyone, I've never actually written a post here and I'm hardly in this forum, but I need to get something off my chest today and I don't have anyone that I could talk about it with, so I figured why not here. Maybe there are other people here who have the same problem. My problem is...

    Asked my friend what kind of reaction she wants if she'd tell me about her love interest (like, understanding, logical, silent etc)

    Has anyone seen this?

    Yeah, you're toatlly right there! I think it's a lot about what the company wants her to say, and they obviously shy away from these questions. They simply say whatever makes them look good and ignored what they should actually talk about :(

    Has anyone seen this?

    Thanks for posting this here! I have not seen this before, but I used to follow her on Instagram for 1,5 years because I liked a lot if things she said.

    Attracted to unavailable people?

    I think so, too! I also usually fall for people or even celebrities that are clearly out of reach and I think it's because I'm afraid of it becoming real. Every time I had had the chance to have a relæ relationship with a real person, I kinda ran away before it could get real.

    Are the sort who does not want romance or a romantic partner??

    In theory, I want a relationship. I've had some before, but I have huuuuge issues with physical contact and I hate kissing and everything people usually want, so I kinda stay away from this kind right now. Dating is also exhausting and I usually don't enjoy many people's company and there aren't...

    Diagnosed at the age of Jesus Christ

    Hi! First, good that you've got a diagnosis! It can be really helpful to understand yourself and maybe cut yourself some slack from time to time. Im not going to pretent that I understand what getting a diagnosis at 33 means since I was younger (18), but I do get what it's like to live with...

    Needy autistic boyfriend breakup?

    Hey! I'm sorry that you have to go through this, it's surely not easy. I experienced something like this with my ex boyfriend a few years ago and eventually I ended the relationship, which was the only right thing to do for me. If you make clear what your boundaries are and he can't respect...
