Relating socially and romantically as an Aspie
I am curious to understand the things that are difficult for other Aspies in regards to the following questions. I realise there are a lot of answer but no need to answer all. But if you could number your answers to match the numbers of the questions please
1) Meeting people.
2) Connecting to people.
3) Being seen as relationship material.
4) What you want in a relationship.
5) How a prospective partner can give you what you want.
6) Why you feel you are overlooked or rejected socially or in love, if you often are.
7) What works about relating to people?
What you have done to improve relating to people and how did it work out.
9) What else is difficult for you
10) Who do you feel has control of your life?
My answers (in short) are:
1) I come over as too weird and am disrespected.
2) I don’t know what to say to connect. I don’t get how other people can just click by saying so little.
3) I come over as too nerdy and am pitied.
4) An honest lover with class and a positive outlook. That won’t judge me or try to change me in ways I don’t want to be changed but that will support me to change where I do want to change but feel it is hard to.
5) I don’t know
6) Naïve and nerdy and but not the chic-geek type
7) I can relate reasonably well with people on the phone when talking about certain things.
I have attended social skills and other relevant training sessions. It helped a bit for a while as I had learned not to do certain things. But I forgot as I stopped using what I learned.
9) Keeping up with conversations
10) I am but it needs to be better.
