Can't get over her

Post Reply New Topic

This friend of mine, in my junior year of high school, asked if I would like to go to homecoming with her. I'm an aspie. I had a difficult time deciding if I wanted to go. I eventually formally asked her and we ended up dating for two months. After we broke up, I became depressed, anxious, and angry. I wad obsessed with her, in love you could say We were still friends. About 8 months after we broke up we got back together for a month and she broke up with me. The depression, anxiety, and anger worsened. Again, she and I are still good friends but it's hard for me to do that because I'm in love with her. I want to tell her how I feel but, I'm afraid of ruining our friendship. As an aspie, I don't have many friends and a dime like her would be hard to replace. I've tried talking to other girls but I couldn't enjoy it. I'm still infatuated with her and I'm reaching my breaking point. I can't say I've ever felt happy since everything happened. She's dating someone else now and I just feel so heartbroken. I've never been so miserable. I'm 18 years old and she's the only girl I've ever dated. I'm just so sad and I don't have the will to do anything anymore. I'm becoming suicidal. Please give some advice.

You cant force someone to love you back. Get over it and move on.

When I was your age, my life felt hollow and pointless. I yearned for the friendships and romances I saw other people having and felt alone and incomplete. I didn't realize it at the time, but what i was really fixated on wasn't friendship or romance, but the desire to simply be like everyone else, and have what they had. Once I was able to accept and love myself as I was, I realized I'd been looking to others for some kind of validation and never got it, so I felt miserable all the time. Plus I think the young raging hormones thing made it all worse too.

Teen years are tough on everyone, but perhaps even more so with us sensitive aspies. Learn to love yourself, don't feel like you have to be like everyone else, and spend more time working on the future you. Once you're a little older, and have these awkward years behind you, it'll be easier to properly gauge your societal limitations and whether you are destined for a relationship or not.

I'm not saying don't try now. I'm just saying don't make it the most important thing in your life, so it can't compromise the rest of you when it doesn't work out.

when one is young and full of hormones and the urgency of NOW!! ! it is hard to see that there IS indeed more than one fish in the sea. if one holds onto one's blinders for that certain one, one is ignoring the whole world of people who would be just as suitable for one given half a chance.

Sometimes it is necessary to separate things: the person we love, the person we are and what the two become when together. You like her and you like both of you. You also need to like yourself, other wise there is no us, you either become an attachament to a relation or the relation becomes a wodden leg for you. Don't chop off your leg. You need both to keep walking. If she doesn't wan't to go for a walk, it's not the end of the world. Take your stroll. If you choose not to, don't blame her. She didn't bit of your leg off. She just went on a diferent path.

Just be glad you're not in my shoes...I've spent probably five years and six girls trying to get over her =(

I've found this struggle to be a long and arduous one. I think this still drives me quite a bit, trying to find that understanding and validation that my worldview is as authentic and genuine as the next. It still hurts to hear otherwise.

I've been desperately in love with the same woman for 13 years, but she either doesn't feel the same way, or does but remains afraid to face it. Every time I've tried to get her to open up emotionally, she puts more walls up, making excuses like "I'm a practical person" or "I can't give you what you want." Call me crazy, but I'm of the belief that relationships ultimately fail because one or both involved decide to give up. They let things like anger, fear, or selfishness stop them from pursuing something beyond "it just works", because they're afraid of more pain, accidental or otherwise. I often feel like giving up myself, but in my heart, doing so means the connection she and I have ultimately means nothing. I can't bear to accept that, with what I've seen and heard. I wish I could convince her of this, but she thinks I'm ignoring everything else but emotion. The fact is that I recognize the importance of things like employment and money...but real love needs everything, not just one side or the other.
