I don't like the idea of me living by myself into old age.


Why not? There are plenty of people who manage to do this and still lead happy and productive lives.


Largely, it's one strange desire.

For me, I have a desire to really delve into someone. To really understand them completely and fully. To experience a level of closeness with someone, that hasn't existed in my life.

It's easy enough for me to be alone. But consistently there is always these thoughts in the back of my mind, pushing me to really be there with someone.

The push isn't largely sexual. Which is probably what makes finding relationships so difficult for me.


I understand this completely. I'm actually spending a lot of time down at the church I go to, and I've done mission work for them too. Mostly it consists of building houses and stuff, but the social interaction I get out of that is much more meaningful than the average NT conversation I listen to (even if everyone else working on the house with me is an NT), mainly because what we're doing IS meaningful, on a spiritual level, or, if you're not a spiritual person, on a humanitarian level. In either case, we made a difference for the life of a family... yes it reminds me of extreme makeover home edition, except for the fact that it retains all the heart of the show while getting rid of the glamour half of it...

I met my partner accidentally at a family members party. We were friends for a long time and we've been together for over a year and he's my soul mate. I don't think I could live on my own because I need someone there when I have my meltdowns. I love him. I can understand the need for someone.
