Relationships that is... Often us Aspies are the worst for this, my hand is up... And I'm deep in thought tonight

I don't exactly follow my social media very well, but just discovered via the local university radio station that an old artist friend of mine passed away last week, quite young really...

I knew her better about eight years ago, had not seen her at all in recent years, but... She was always someone I kept saying to myself "I need to get together with her", a very wise lady who always had an encouraging word to share, and now I can't call her up anymore... :(

Hold them close, despite some of our Aspie tendencies
 
We can all do better at living each day one at a time and appreciating the things and people that we have in or lives. Aspies and NT's both. It is difficult though as daily life can be demanding and or focus and time is often just spent "keeping up" with our responsibilities. Sorry for the loss of your old friend.
 
Good advice for most people, probably, but I'm a burn bridges and walk away kind of person. The past is past.
 
Sorry about the lost opportunity, she sounds like a positive attribute to those that knew her. Be glad that you crossed paths. It would be nice to think that when I'm gone there might be someone that felt that way about me.
 
Sometimes when you are honest and say you care for them, they run away, so now l think friends is the best way to go.
 
l really this person, but now l backpedeled my feelings, because l think our feelings for each other, they aren't ready to acknowledge it, and it makes me feel like l am bad for having feelings about them. I believe they don't realise, it's very rare to meet someone, where you really meet them and feel vunerable, yet safe at the same time. It's hard for this person to accept and acknowledge this l feel. So l am left holding the flowers and the box of candy. But being older helps me understand them, and feel okay.
