| Sounds perfect... I just suspect that if a woman did that, she wouldn't be called "solo polyamorous"... she would probably be called a wh*re :( I think I'd call her "solo poly partner #x"... :D Darron Yeah that's better :) Just out of curiosity - how would the numbering system w... |

| I agree. I've gotten into trouble due to fact that I don't feel jealousy and that when I am interested in someone, Im not interested whether they are single or married or in exploration mode or whatever. I just wanted closeness and openness and did not require exclusiveness. I was glad to discuss th... |

| For someone who "is not interested in relationships", you really wrote a lot about yourself! To me it looks like you actually do want to relate to others, to find some kind of closeness. Am I wrong? |

| I also wonder if their illness increases your workload, either emotionally or practically, and it's tiring for you? Showing or demonstrating empathy in real time can be tiring. Caring for them is also tiring. You didn't know the blind woman so you had no obligation to demonstrate empathy directly t... |

I don't mind if I don't get an official document. I want to know for myself. But I want it to be accurate.
The problem is that it is impossible to ask anyone else about my childhood, there's no one alive. And no records... |

| I couldn't find anyone in my country dealing with adult autism. Is it possible to get diagnosed over a call? Are there any specialists diagnosing adult women? Preferably in Europe, although I guess it doesn't matter that much if it's remote anyway. Maybe less issues with call quality. |

| Recently I've been digging into my childhood memories and I noticed two things. First of all, from today's adult perspective, I begin to suspect that my childhood wasn't normal. I always thought it was okay, but I simply had nothing to compare it to, so I just accepted it. Secondly, those memories t... |

| Emotions easily short-circuit your logic, but the more you know about how and why your body produces them, the easier they are to manage. Remember that moods do change, but it takes some time to regain perspective. Exercise can be very helpful, especially if you are feeling excess adrenalin. Medita... |

| I think I have been ignoring all kinds of emotions for a long time. Things have piled up. I start losing control more frequently. I don't know how exactly to deal with that - even though there are some people that I could try to talk to, but if I start talking I immediately feel it becoming a rant a... |

Have you ever tried to offer a date to one of your special women as soon as you felt she's starting to friendzone you, or even before that?
Actually, even after friendzoning, there's still hope. You might become friends with benefits, and she might fall in love. |

| Even though I shy away from touch, but sometimes some people have a soft touch. And that I really like and want it again. Sometimes it has happened that people whom I didn't know, touched me casually (handshakes or other stuff NTs do, like touching your arm), and that touch felt so soft... and I got... |

To me, this does not sound like a mature kind of relationship... Most importantly, just don't get pregnant too fast or do anything else irreversible. Focus on learning from this relationship. Trying things out.
Sorry. I realize you didn't ask for advice. |
