Understanding your place in a relationship

Geestar8

Hi I’m georgia and I have a diagnoses as well. I’ve been struggling to understand how to be in a relationship as I can’t seem to keep one. I don’t understand people at all which is ironic as I’m doing a degree in people. I guess what I’m asking is if anyone who can help, I tend to get in a muddle a lot and the people I’m with don’t understand that there’s certain things that I do differently not by choice but by nature and they find it difficult to cope with and I then find it hard to cope with everyone leaving all the time because of me not understanding what’s going on. It’s all very confusing and if I’ve made any sense I would be great fil for a pointers or even someone who’s able to understand me and this difficulty. 
Thankyou Blush

  • It's a really hard one to navigate, and I think mostly comes down to communication within a relationship. Like you said (and I understand all too well) relationship trouble often comes through misunderstandings. The trouble for us is that communication is more difficult than for most people, so those misunderstandings are amplified. Something that I've been working on in my own relationships, not just romantic, is being more upfront with what I'm finding difficult or confusing. If you're with the right person then they should be willing to work with you to help you feel secure in your relationship. It's better all around I think when expectations you have for a relationship and each other are out in the open and you're not left trying to read obscure social queues.
