Holding Out for My Mr. Darcy

NeurodivergentMind

I stand by my hopes, but I always appreciate hearing other people’s thoughts.


Do you think I’m naïve to believe there’s a “Mr. Darcy” out there?


I love a rom-com, but I’m realistic, I’m simply looking for a man with depth, respect, emotional intelligence, a capacity for growth, and a genuine desire for real partnership.

    I had to look up Emotional intelligence and the result I got from the Psychology Today website said:

    "Emotional intelligence is generally said to include a few skills: namely, emotional awareness, or the ability to identify and name one’s own emotions; the ability to harness those emotions and apply them to tasks like thinking and problem solving; and the ability to manage emotions, which includes both regulating one’s own emotions when necessary and helping others to do the same."

    I don't have emotional intelligence so I couldn't ask for that, and I believe most autistic people don't? 

    I personally value the positive traits usually seen in autistic people - honesty, loyalty, empathy, deep focus, creativity and a unique perspective.
