| Selfish is not really the way I would explain it. In a way I guess you could stay that but I feel she might be more concerned about her safe situation falling apart or something I dunno.

| Thank you for the reply. I haven't actually used the AS to explain anything in our relationship, she made those connections on her own by what I was talking about. The obsessive part of my personality is pretty obvious as I still do some of the stuff I have been doing since I was 6. But for example ... |

| Okay this is kinda hard for me to explain but I needed some help on my possible diagnosis situation. So long story short as most the people who have this problem, I never had any friends and school or anything like that. Usually I might have had one close friend and that was it. The only exception t... |

| I am in the same boat. As I said, I am always in flight mode. I will do almost anything to cut a confirnation short. My girlfriend hates it but with anyone else saying the meanest thing you can think of to make them leave you alone works well. |

But seriously, females are not aliens, nor are we another species. Just talk like you would to any other person.
