Hurtloam. . . . .

I think that would be final nail in my coffin of friendship, but if he does care he should be pleased that I cared enough to get advice, and I turned to somewhere that helps me understand rather than an NT forum that indulges aspie bashing. . .. . . .I'm fairly sure he cares for in some way. . . .that is v different from my way of caring. I will probably always be there if he needs me. . .. . .. . But I just carry on my life mainly. . . . .. I was upset last week and had to change plans. . . .. .he was quite kind when he realised what had happened to make me break the plans, but I had to prod him by explaining implicitly that I was v upset! . . . ..

The main problem is other people thinking I’m a fool . . . . .and allowing him to use me. . . .. . . . If he doesn’t give a toss then I am a fool. . . . But I hope I am right! . . . ..

We aspies can be very intense in friendships and that is probably is what is happening here. For example I very quickly go into topics with people that they usually go into when a friendship is well established and can be very intense if I take a great liking to you. If someone were a member of the opposite sex this could be misinterpreted. He has told you very clearly what he thinks your relationship is and is surprised that you are confused and so is probably being genuine.
