Hello,
I am always overthinking in relationships as recently, I broke up with my ex a while ago and we have reminded friends until recently, they have always known about my Autism & OCD tendencies and have been rather supportive of them & not bothered by them which is a good thing. But recently they told me how they felt and something didn't sit right with me, did they feel that way because I was autistic, I always truly felt that I was strange or something, always talking myself down. But then they told me some stuff and it brought it up all back up.
It's like I think, can I find someone who I could have a relationship with? Without showing my tendencies or anything like that.
I would love to hear some feedback on how you cope in relationships, I have always struggled but I struggle with my emotions and explaining them.
Firstly if you cannot show your tenancies the relationship will crash and burn if the other person isn't able to accept you. There is the risk that even if they do accept them the fact you cannot trust them enough to tell them could severely dent any established relationship if they ever find out.
I normally despise shows the document the lives of disabled people trying to date like the undatables etc as they are the most hideous forms of Norms mocking us for their own entertainment. However love on the spectrum which is on Netflix is actually a very different vibe to it and its a good watch.
