| Can someone explain relationship depth? I heard somewhere that when you get to know a person you don't have to use the "mask", and I also heard that everyone has a mask, which means I should actually try to find serious friends now (after 10 years of avoiding this because the mask is exhau... |

| ...after having buried them for so long. Basically, I wasn't able to deal with them growing up because they were so hard to understand or reconcile and because I lacked the usual NT self-comfort with myself. Now that I've tried to deal with them, they've come back with a vengeance and I don't seem t... |

| If it means putting myself out because others consider their emotional needs to be significantly more important than my own, and then expect me to comply with their requests (from a self-serving "appeal to empathy"), getting offended when I refuse them, then no.. empathy is an emotion I j... |

| I began to realize I show most to all of the traits listed and I am hurting others around myself. Something very deep in my neurology is broken beyond repair, but I'd like to change it so I and my family don't have to suffer as much. I've caused so much damage sometimes I feel I don't even deserve t... |

| Quite the opposite. It is excessive, but only conditional. If they have not harmed me or someone related, I will respond very strongly to another person if they are injured, and do anything I can to help them if it is a physical need. For emotional needs I am capable of understanding but completely ... |

| I am surrounded by people who tell me I am sick. The world as a whole and individuals in my life tell me I am sick. I get angry, I have an illness. I tell someone I dislike something, I am sick, strange, delusional, or confused. Depression, Anxiety, and Psychosis are three words I have had forced on... |

| I've gotten drastically different responses. By this point the mask is a defense mechanism for me, not just something I wear when communicating, but existing in general. I was naturally a very bubbly and emotional person, sensitive, caring, supportive, philosophical, but at the same time analytical ... |

Sometimes I get so fed up I have to tell the person (NT's specifically) to just listen to my words, and stop trying to get... |

| Most likely aspie thing, is my guess. I have the exact same situation (though it's not always a problem). Sometimes it actually can cause a weak depression because it causes dissatisfaction with all of the logical inconsistencies I become aware of in real life, and I cover a lot of ground in my head... |

I have seriously negative memories and encounters. I often want to disappear from society. It feels like I am blind in a w... |

| Me too. If it helps, the more you work at something, the closer you get to your goal. I'm struggling a lot right now but I'm pushing with the knowledge I will eventually fix the situation, as long as I try to, or at least make resolve with what bothers me. |

| Manipulative ones, to be perfectly honest. Some of my friends are abused, which I accept them nevertheless, but then that abuse sticks inside of them and they let it back out on me. I just attract "toxic" people. Either that or boring, lethargic people. I tend to have lots of energy when I... |
