In all seriousness, let's compare SpongeBob and Squidward : One character has an optimistic and cheerful personality while the other is pessimistic and grumpy Which character do you think would be the most successful in their life based on their overall personality & disposition?

Do you most likely she doesn't give a s**t about me? I was drunk when I confided in them If she's your friend, I'm sure she cares about you. However there are vast oceans between caring about someone as a friend and being willing to leave your boyfriend for them. It is something I would suggest you... |

I think your friends are trying to protect you Jamesy, and I hope you heed their advice. This is a woman you know is already in a relationship and where you're friends with her boyfriend. There is no way in which pursuing her will end well for you. At best you just get rejected. At worst you end up ... |

So, nobody I've been in a romantic relationship with was diagnosed autistic or ADHD, but I had my suspicions and so did they. In my case the communication issues were compounded. I was bad at communicating. They were bad at communicating. We bad communicated ourselves into breakups. :skull: I've nev... |

Lol I didn't mean to compare them in that way!! ! I meant since SpongeBob SquarePants has a cheerful and optimistic disposition that people who want more success in life should be striving to be more like him (SpongeBob-type energy) instead of people (like chris1989) constantly ruminating & fee... |

Chris, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. If you need a break: take it. It might be good for your mental health to stop dwelling on this for awhile. Maybe you should take a break from social media for a little while too? I'm sure you know that it's all fake, but it's really hard not to make compa... |

Like have you lived your life in which no one was ever attracted to you in a romantic sense? I’m 30 and it’s never happened. Those feelings and emotions are very hard to accept. I 100% resonate with this. I had zero luck in my teens and twenties. The guys I tried to ask out turned me down. I was ne... |

Welcome Queasiness! I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with this. Based on what you're describing it sounds to me like your boyfriend has issues with his emotional regulation. This is a common issue for autistic people. My brother is very similar in that he will explode with anger at anything going... |

^^^ Okay, that makes sense. Thank you both for explaining!
Also, that's horrible that they would experiment on people like that. |

I think MaxE is pretty old and from an age less forgiving of mental illness. So mental illness is a sort of thing people would avoid, if it were obvious. That said, there are different levels of mental illness, even for the same disorders. Some people are functional and others are well, 'barking' (... |

@Rhapsody — you say you had a lot of fun on that shoe shopping date, but did you feel any romantic or physical attraction to that guy? I don't feel physical attraction like a normal person. I also didn't have enough time to really know whether or not I felt romantic attraction (I'm alexithymic and ... |

Wait, dating somebody with a mental illness is against the "rules" of dating? I obviously missed that memo. Why is it against the rules? |

100% agree with James. One thing I'd like to note, though, is that the easiest way to start is probably help-desk. They're always hiring and it gives you pretty broad access to a wide variety of systems so that you can learn what interests you most. From there you can specialize as you move in your ... |

I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling with this. Waiting rooms are the absolute worst.
It's okay to feel insecure and scared. Everybody does sometimes, and your parents should have been more understanding about that. I hope you feel better soon. |

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling this way, Rowana. Hopefully it can make you feel a little better to know that many, many people on this forum can relate to how you're feeling because we've felt it too. My only suggestion would be not to let the loneliness win. If there's anything you can do that... |

For me it depends on the partner and how things ended. I've had two partners and they were both anxious, depressed and had very poor self esteem. One of them took that out on me, and the other took it out on himself. I'm still in contact with/tentatively dating again my ex-boyfriend. He was the one ... |
