| Honestly this guy sounds exactly like me, this is basically how I behave in every relationship in my life. Whether he really likes you or not, he probably doesn't know how to act. So let's pose a hypothetical situation here. Suppose that he likes you a lot. He doesn't know how to act around you, he... |

Love that!!

As others have said before me, talk about it, it's (probably) the only way to find the solution. |

| I think, there is a difference between traits and symptoms. Traits are an integral part (if not the essence) of my personality, just how my brain is wired. Symptoms, as I would define them, are how these traits are percieved (mainly by others but not exclusively). On that basis I would state that sy... |

I normally get called lazy when I am too busy to do what people want me to do.
Kind of ironic.... |

I do it all the time, not only with my interest but really with anything that requires active processing. I constantly hyperfocus.
The only exception is when I focus on sounds (speech, music, really anything), I cannot block out other sounds. |

Well, I do that but in that moment the things i get upset about ceartainly do not appear to be little, in retrospective they usually are though.
So this combined with a chronically short temper is a good project to work on, and I think i'm making up leeway (slowly though)! |
