does anyone else find it annoying that you're obsessive to start and it gives one impression, but then as aspies we end up the complete opposite in the long run, requiring a lot of space and time on our own?
its so stupid. You appear intense and too interested to someone thats new and because of that you never get past that for them to see the really chilled out and space giving person that you really are.
I'm abit different. I may get alittle obsessed when I like someone or think they like me or I have a chance with them but those never turned into anything. When I 1st started my 1st two relationships I was alittle obsessive & got worse as the relationship progressed & I screwed those relationships up by being too needy & clingy. I had some bad OCD problems in my life & get obsessed about my interest. I started taking a med for OCD after screwing up my 2nd relationship by being too obsessed & having some OCD issues that were getting worse. I got in my 3rd relationship shortly after & I didn't fall into that major obsession with her that I did with my previous two or gotten super needy & clingy like I did with them; I may be alittle obsessed, needy & clingy thou but it's not that bad. I haven't gotten majorly obsessed about anything or had bad OCD problems like I used to either. I would not recommend or suggest medication for just being obsessive at the start which is a pretty common Aspie thing btw but it might could possibly help if you have major problems with OCD or obsessing in general.
