Forming relations and keeping them

Post Reply New Topic

Something i have noticed about myself is though i tend to form, what appears to be, deep and meaningful relationships with people, once those people are no longer around me on a regular basis i tend to move on very quickly and easily. I don't like to think that I'm lying to my friends and myself but i find that i never really miss my old friends or even my immediate family once i move away (something I've done several times in my life). I've never been tested for autism, to my knowledge at least, though i have entertained the possibility. I just want to know if this sort of thing is in any way normal or if i have some attachment disorder. thank you!

To add to this slightly, I empathize very strongly with almost everyone i meet and especially animals. Seeing pain or violence makes me very anxious, and so i don't believe i have any narcissistic disorders, though i do often fantasize about being amazing and/or special in some way (but i think that's pretty normal, Oscar Wilde once said "nothing is more ordinary than the will to be extraordinary.")
