This reminds me of something I saw recently:
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, “will you marry me?” The girl said, “NO!”.
And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had sex with whomever she pleased…did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn’t get fat, travelled more, had many boyfriends, saved more money, and had all the hot water to herself.
She watched chick flicks, never football, never wore fricken lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, and burped, swore, and farted all the time.
The end!
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?' The girl said, 'NO!' And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted, and nobody tried to change him.
The End!
The greatest story ever.
There is so much value in being yourself and not being tied down. So many people, due to societal values think that they *have* to find a partner, and fail to look inside themselves and realize that this robs them of their freedom to actually be themself. Luckily, I have learned this early and now can burp, fart, and have as many experiences as I please!

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.
This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.
My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
