Hi ... I'm scarlet

I see it often in people on the spectrum and I had this issue for a very long time, as bad as it gets, the involvement takes over, so my theory is that dispersing involvement between multiple partners will not make me lose my mind as much. It works until it doesn't. Hit and miss. There's always the chance of getting overly involved. Also ignoring life commitments and self care. This can be problematic like a super deep autistic special interest in a person and can shift into unhealthy, perhaps if I start expecting too much from a person.
 
I hope you don't think I was trying to argue with you or correct you on anything.
If anything, I was attempting to agree with you, and add to what you were saying with my own understanding of these relationship structures. Apologies if it came across any other way.

I wasn't exactly sure what was happening ... It just seemed like there was some level of miscommunication ... and when I encounter that, I tend to go over everything just to make sure there isn't confusion. I wasn't angry or anything either ... although I realize that it can sometimes seem like I am or that I'm being argumentative when I do that ... i've just never found a better way to identify exactly where the confusion is and address it.
 
This guys speech is the only thing that helps me sleep. I wanna loop part of it before the applauds because they always wake me up

I'm in the middle of work at the moment - just taking a break - but I'll look at this later. Is there a specific section you want? I might be able edit the video for you and get you the edited version using google docs or something if you would like.
