I don't think I'm particularly lonely. I like to be alone and I wish I could spend much more time alone than I currently do. I just wish I could conjure up a feeling of connection for a longer time. It fades so fast.

When I said that my therapist feels 'hypothetical' to me, I just meant that (after a week) he doesn't feel like a real person. I adore my therapist and I just wish the feeling of closeness wouldn't fade in between appts.

I think I do spend a lot of time masking & trying to fit in. I assumed that's why I don't easily make connections with most people - how could it be genuine if I'm pretending to be something I'm not... I also have problems with dissociation and childhood neglect/abuse. It's hard to know sometime...

it was almost like he never existed after a few weeks Yes! Exactly what I mean! All evidence shows I love my kids and grandson but out of sight out of mind. When we aren't together I need reminders. Again, yes! This bothers me a lot because I can feel the connection slipping away so quickly and I p...

Hi I definitely think I have some degree of alexithymia. I wish I had known about it when I was young instead of believing there was something seriously wrong with me that I didn't know how I felt. Actually if I'm wishing for things, I'd wish that it wasn't an issue for me at all... I think there is...

I think I have trouble maintaining multiple relationships because I can't handle the effort of it all. I HATE talking on the phone. It's hard for me to follow through with plans because I also have major depressive disorder and I feel unreliable about making/keeping plans. I don't mind having one em...

Thanks for writing. Another problem that I have is that I can't seem to have too many people in my life at one time. I feel like I can't juggle several relationships at the same time. I think that's also why I overwhelm people. I'm pretty sure most people are able to successfully maintain multiple r...

I'm a 41 year old female who was diagnosed with aspergers at age 35. I have a really difficult time feeling connected to other people. Growing up, I never felt an emotional connection to members of my family. I'm married and I have a child, but I don't really feel connected to them either. There hav...
