I don't do love

I'm sorry , I didn't get updates to this link .

Lots of valued comments here .

This is a difficult topic , it's basically who I am .
Or who I am not .

It's the most common thing I get as feed back .
I'm not sure I put anyone in preference. I do to a point but
It's more familiarity .

Is this state upsetting, yes .

Do I blame myself for relationship difficulties, yes. I have to .

Recently I've come to realise the same situation effects the idea
Of friends. I view most people in one format.

In some relationships I've had to act as care , then I felt I was blank for a
Reason .

I have relationship situations right now that are a ticking bomb .

Sorry for my over long input on this thread .

Lots of strange things are going on right now .
 
Sorry you’re having a rough time. Sending prayers/wishes for better times and easement of the situation. Hope things get better.
 
I try to judge my emotions when I know I am safe. When I am safe, I feel differently about people than when I feel unsafe. So I can say I do love . When I am not safe, I can't.

It is hard to figure out how I would feel about people if I had not had to fight so hard. Maybe I would just be a hard butt and not care. Part of my suffering has caused me to have a tremendous amount of empathy, but I cannot tap into it when I still feel unsafe and unsettled.
 
I don't do love either.

I do I infatuation too. I do loyalty and fondness. I do protectiveness.

But I don't exhibit "love type behaviour" like NTs.
 
Love for me is like those cheap romance novels you see in the drug stores. Plus, who can resist chain mail mini skirts?

Quite Interesting, a *ticking bomb* sounds correct..it must be and is very difficult for you indeed.
