ASD and love

Leetom1999

Does anybody else feel like they fall in love to easily and let it consume their lives even when it’s over? Not good with moving on and letting go as I personally struggle with understanding people’s reasoning and motivations. I have also suffered a lot of rejection from family and friends.

  • I can get attached to people very quickly, not necessarily in a romantic way, I can get attached to some friends very quickly. I'm not good with moving on, in my head, if a friend that I'm attached too doesn't want to be friends any more. I really really struggle with people, especially other Autistic people, not making their intentions clear. Like if someone doesn't want to be my friend anymore then I would prefer it if they just told me straight rather than just stringing me along and telling me BS. I'm more of a pull the plaster off quick kind of girl. If someone rejects me directly then yes of course it hurts but at least I can deal with the facts as they are and start to move on. It really bothers me when people just leave me hanging and not knowing what's going on! People should just be honest rather than expecting me to be able to read between the lines!
