For me, first step was to make myself safe from things that caused trauma in the first place. |

| I don't have DID, but I do dissociate a lot due to trauma. A big part of any disconnect that I have to my body is probably due to that, especially since I've dissociated since I was 11-12. The past 9-10 years have mostly been one big foggy dream, and I usually feel very isolated from my body and re... |

| Never the two shall meet. That seem to be the norm in autists (or maybe in humans in general?), wondering why... Both of my sides interact with each other all the time, a bit like parent-child relation. The "body" (limbic system) figures out what we want to do, while "brain" (ce... |

| Does anyone have a good explanation or example of this? It's part of the diagnostic criteria, but I've never really understood what it means. Socializing by talking? For example, the more we talk about useless stuff, the more I will despise you, because I do not have that thing. But with NT it's di... |

| All in all, I just want friends that are more outgoing but I don’t really know how to go about it. Be rich, pretty, powerful, and give out a lot of narcissistic supply? Last one seems super important if you cannot do first three, even autists are highly narcissistic, so the more flattery you give o... |

| To answer question in the topic, something around "grandiose privileged jerks" comes to mind? A lot of truth in it I would say, just read posts of most of the "old" people :3 |

| Guess my cute blood related kinks are technically part of it? But I'm also asexual, so no sex needed for that. Partners are very much optional too. In fact, finding someone who isn't vicious brute seems practically impossible anyway? |

| I'm in my 30s, and very recently, I've started to have increased social awareness, like imagining social scenarios in my head and actually being able to work out what people would do in those situations and potential consequences for not doing those things. Maybe you are just learning to mask bette... |

| That obsession of understanding how things work lead to my hobbies with electronic design and robotics and a great career as a software engineer. Is it satisfying for you? While I can do software, it's only fun if I can use affective empathy in the process, which is sadly rare, because most "s... |

| If it's any consolation OP, I'm not into any of those adult things, and I don't know how to play the game. What are you obsessed about then? You don't have anything on your profile, and I'm curious :3 I have few things listed there that give me good feels. I find it interesting to compare things li... |

Yeah, how to do that? I know, in kindergarten, but maybe I can find someone older and independent who is not into any of those adult things?
Would be nice to stop feeling alone in being big 5 year old surrounded by creepy adults :3 |

Tell that to those who very much tried. |
