me too.
i am also emotionally high-maintenance and rather dependent on others to get through my frequent crises.
The funny thing is... you say "dependent", i hear "dependable". I for one at the very least try to be a helpful person, even when it comes to emotional issues. Granted, the autism gets in the way of actually being able to understand the issues at hand, but it doesn't stop me from trying, because making others around me feel better is in my nature. The only thing I ask for in return is said dependability. Knowing that someone (or something) is
not going to disappear on me one day makes me feel a
lot more comfortable with my situation, and just simply being with someone makes me feel better, like I have a valid reason to be on this earth. I'm not saying its all roses, sure there's going to be some s**t along the way, but just that validation can keep me going, even if the relationship is super stressful.
And that's my own "bad catch" clause... my desire for said dependability and stability doesn't integrate well with today's transitory excitement-based society...
