I'm actually a time-traveller, which might be a bit awkward for some.

(I'm also a compulsive liar)

I'm a bad catch because I've run out of tolerance for douchebags which means I'm likely to tell someone that they are a douchebag. In fact, I am probably going to tell someone exactly that today... not BS internet lashing out but real face-to-face information sharing with another human being who is a douchebag because I'm tired of the asshattery. Then, when I've reached my limit of asshattery in real life, I have zero tolerance for it from strangers on the internet so I definitely flip the proverbial bird in 400 words or less the second someone decides to be a douche. That probably makes me a douche but when I've gotten this far - which takes months of considerable effort - I don't care.

I have no resolution for this. It takes months of consistent asshattery for me to get to this point where I no longer have any tolerance and cannot just look the other way or deal with a situation rationally. So, I have a hard time not deciding that if someone gets me to this point after months of being civil and forgiving, they get what I get.

I am exasperated by most people's lack of intelligence, they in turn become exasperated in my existence.

Low self esteem would be the obvious reason. I'm just not sure about my worth. I know a few females who have been interested in me, but I just couldn't understand what they saw in me, and I just dismissed it as wishful thinking on my part. I don't particularly see myself as attractive, not just physically but on an emotional level too. I prefer to keep quiet, do things on my own and not make my emotions visible. Basically I'm unfriendly and aloof and most people tend to think I'm boring and uninteresting (which I suppose I am). The list could go on, and on really, but I guess being someone who is terrified to let anyone out there know how I feel about them, is just an impossible barrier to break.

-I'm unimaginitive as demonstrated by the inability to make a list of turn-offs longer than one item.

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...

i hear what you are saying about dependability vs. dependence, but for my own part i am not sure i am at all dependable in an emotional sense. i perceive i am self-centred and i get awfully wrapped up in my own issues. TBH i'm kind of a heavy weight on others.... i'm hoping to get better with time but i don't know if it's possible. maybe i'm just too much.

I'm broke, unemployed and live with parent. And quite unfit currently.

Other than that, I'm OK 8)
