Dear Tim_Tex,
I also think there will be a nice aspie girl out there for you. But I can relate to how you feel because I used to feel so sure that there cannot possibly be anybody out there that would like me. The thing is, there is somebody out there that would care about you and like you a lot. I think the painful moments I went through helped me mature and get prepared for the person who would actually take interest in me. I'm still in the maturing process so there are many painful moments and more to come, but I think it gets easier little by little.
I feel that starting a relationship is not easy, but once it starts the relationship itself is not easy either. Once you start the relationship there are new sets of challenges and painful moments to deal with. But the good thing is that we become stronger and wiser through the process, and even though there are hardships, it's not overly overwhelming or absolutely unbearable. If it is overly overwhelming or absolutely unbearble, it means that we need to check whether we are in the right relationship.
I think the painful moments that I went through thinking that nobody would love me, and the painful moments that I went through with the person that took interest in me all taught me how to control my emotions. And although they were painful, I think they were invaluable trainings.
Sorry for my long monologue. Anyways, the bottomline is that there will be somebody out there for you, and that pain becomes less and less intense as we become stronger and wiser.
I can't think of a number right now...
I must say that currently I am not doing a good job with controlling my emotions.
I engaged in emotional eating again, but the good thing is I successfully made efforts to eat less.
The person that I sent text messages to didn't respond to my last two messages, which made me anxious and insecure.
I dealt with it by eating snacks. Although I don't think highly of myself for engaging in this form of self-medication, I do appreciate that I at least didn't pig out.
Now I feel much more calm about the text messages.
There are some overwhelming issues that my not so good emotional capability is struggling to deal with.
But I decided not to think too much about it.
I feel like I can sleep now which is really good.
I feel bad that I didn't get much work done.
But I think tomorrow will be a new day, and once again I will start anew.
