Screw them. We should find something of our own to brag about. "I don't need someone to be happy" sounds WAY more impressive. ;)

No, not even close. There are braggarts, but the vast majority of NTs don't like them either. And there are ASD braggarts btw.

"My partner this", and "my hubby that", and "my boyfriend and I were doing this when". Its so obvious that the most important thing in life is partnership. Yet these same people will vehemently deny it's importance. "You don't need a partner to be happy." Fine. Then break up with yours...

So you have a best friend AND a boyfriend?! That's insanity. I cannot comprehend.

You told me I was being argumentative and trying to convince you to believe how worthless I am. How was that helpful?
