The key thing here is the mental discipline component.

I am not sure if this is something that some people simply have, something that must be consciously mastered, and/or something that is part of one's upbringing from childhood. Growing up dependent upon others or perhaps as a result of "helicopter parents" constantly micromanaging everything in your life, if you are constantly needing validation, all of this undermines and deteriorates mental discipline and the ability to be happy and content living alone.

To me it seems like he's reading someone else's script and has never lived it himself. He emotionally stresses the wrong parts of the wrong comments. It's a bit like hearing all about autism from an NT, many of the facts are there but true understanding is not.

One comment stood out to me though - "doesn't need external validation". For me at least that's the key to everything else. I never had any problems socialising but I don't need it. I don't need people constantly telling me I'm a good bloke and I have no irrational fear of people not liking me or not wanting to talk to me. I don't need a constant nurse maid.

If someone doesn't like me and doesn't want to talk to me then the feeling is usually quite mutual and I'm very happy with their choice.

I had an alcoholic neighbour who was desperately clingy and needed constant companionship, he was a nightmare to deal with during Covid. Knocking on my door 3 and 4 times a day desperate for companionship. In the end I got quite nasty with him but it didn't make any difference, he was so desperate for companionship that he simply ignored all insults and aggression and kept coming back for more. At one time I told him I was honestly scared that he was going to try sitting on my lap and sucking on a tít. I Am Not Your Mother!

Yes, one of the things I have read that women often complain about is having to care for a grown man who cannot take care of themselves.

I personally can't imagine anything less sexy than an adult who needs to be taken care of.

In the context of social interactions:

I am a very rational person.
In this way, I am a poster-boy man for a male on the spectrum.

For example:
I would consider the positives and the negatives, and usually be directed by the winner.
If this is being disciplined, yes, I am.
