I can't do simple things others take for granted, even though I'm university educated.
I'm not attractive.
I have unusual interests, not in type for a female, but definitely in focus and intensity.
I have an interest in a tennis player most people haven't heard of.
I get anxious and sometimes have panic attacks.


First off simple things (as in ? Like laundry and ironing, cooking for self. Simpler as in shower, or as in being social ?) We all kinda get axious here and panic attacks occasionally. Its norm for a aspie or someone on the spectrum

Tennis anyone? We all have a fave interest or fave celeb. I know the feeling... i can name scientist, philosophers, actors, chefs, etc who are way outa date. People obscured by the past.

Ok so .. i know that feeling all too well. Im an "otomen". A japanese coined term. I have feminine pursuits, skills, hobbies yet im a straight guy. I like to cook, clean, sew, craft. Im love cheesy romantic comedies (chick flicks). I have equeal ammounts of shoujo manga in my manga collection. Top it off i prefer to be held by the lady. I rather be asked out than ask out. Im the only straight guy who rather watch martha stewart (and a few other crafty men n women) over football.

Also in this age, were sing things being less defined as masculine or feminine. Rather neutral.

What I meant by that was that my interests are very normal for a woman (cats, for example), but my focus is much more intense than normal.

I am too honest and I don’t realize when I’ve hurt the other person

So i compensate by trying to apologize n be extra nice n generous

However i still slip
One of my worst moments was when My (at the time) Husband first said I love you. And in response I said... i don’t hate you.

Years later we saw it on a TV show parks n recreation almost the exact same dialogue between the April girl n her husband. Then i realized wjat I had said was hurtful.

I thought i was honouring him by being honest

Super nice, honest the traits that make us great to be with. The famous people who are known to shoot from the hips. Sounds like you do the same. Its not a negative.

Sounds like your love endured. Yes hurtful but it happen ( not to make light)
