| My name is Evelyn Featherstone and I am a property manager in New England. I joined this forum seeking perhaps tips and advice/information that is relevant to: forming irl relationships with people, and finding true happiness as a person who is on the spectrum. Those, I think, are my greatest diffic... |

| I'd start seeing other men, personally. I mean it seems he has changed the rules of what marriage means, so, I would have my fun too. If he saw that this was unsavory now that it wasn't merely his double-standard/just him doing it, and wanted to change things back to the way a traditional marriage s... |

| Its rare that someone registers to me as ugly or attractive, it takes something to create an association for me, without that present people just kinda have a set of attributes in the form of shapes, colors, sizes. At some point I wondered if my as could explain this, because I have more of a detach... |

| Its perfectly ok to assert boundaries, particularly physical ones. You gain your peace of mind by refraining from this behaviour, she loses nothing, apparently, as your friendship is not affected by the lack of cheek kissing. You could do it anyway and lose your peace of mind in the moment or for ho... |

| I can very very rarely to almost never tell what people think of me or how they see me. I suspect weird. I suspect shy. Some seem nervous around me though. I have had people tell me that they're uncomfortable not being able to read my emotions. I get that a lot actually, that they have trouble knowi... |

| That and many many other things, I have just decided is the noise some people make. There is relevance and meaning in some things that they say, but a lot of it is just noise. I try to just ignore the meaningless and go through whatever motions, the bare minimum needed to keep things smooth, but jus... |

| That sounds like a very stressful environment for a cat. Maybe do some research on the internet about how to treat cats/how *not* to treat cats, prove the squeezing and such is wrong and then show your mom the links or print it out and teach her how to properly care for a cat without terrorizing the... |

| I think I'm in a similar situation except he works at a store I frequent a half mile from my house. I just started noticing him and I wasn't sure why him really. It just happens that way, someone's energy feels good or vibes right in some way I can't explain. I knew literally nothing about him. I am... |

| What has helped me, is researching how it looks in females specifically; how that differs from how it appears in males, and then explaining it to people that way. I'm having someone read the aspergirls book to understand better. People are skeptical when I tell them too, but I think if they read thi... |
