No offense but if you are shuddering and afraid of basic escalation with women it probably isn't voluntary but just go
with that if it makes you feel better.
Nice try on calling me a fag, negative on that. I wish it were that simple. I'm attracted to the female form so long as I don't
have to deal with them in person.
I'd say 50/50 on the emboldened point. You can't decide to develop Asperger's syndrome so that bit is quite involuntary,
but you can decide to spare yourself the anxiety caused by more or less all interpersonal encounters but for me especially
those with members of the opposite sex that I may feel some attraction towards. It's called a coping strategy albeit a relatively
unhealthy one. I came on here to learn and observe, as I'm not short on female admirers. I've had 7 Tinder matches since last
Sunday and I most certainly don't swipe right on landwhales, single mothers or women that have hit every branch of the ugly
tree on the way down. I can communicate and charm with ease using text, but in person it all goes out of the window and is
ultimately what cost me my wife and partner of some 18 years as I struggle hugely with intimacy and physical contact. I don't
like to touch or be touched. I'm on Tinder as a learning experience more than anything else, I'm not interested in meeting these
girls, just figuring out what makes them tick.
I was as I usually am, just being open and honest with my comments on here. I can't change how I'm wired, most of my
interpersonal social behaviour is learnt and not at all natural to me. If I were to just go along with my natural instinct I'd lock
myself away from everybody and live a solitary and lonely life. I'm trying to avoid that, but need help understanding such
interactions with others. Hence why I'm here. You however are serving to beautifully illustrate the reason why I tend to prefer to
avoid being honest and open about what's going on in my head. Some folk are very judgemental even when it's clear that another individual is having some difficulties. I won't let that dissuade me from continuing my research, my mission is more important
than the opinion of another random hater. I'm not ashamed of who I am, I'm just trying to learn to fit in better and maybe find
some happiness and companionship along the way. It's a long road ahead, but I'm up for the challenge.
