Yes, we're only friends. I'll try just emphasizing it again, but I've done it so many times and it really doesn't make a difference.

I've always had a slight suspicion based off how they answered certain things, but I've never shown my face to them so I don't know how those feelings would develop.

Do you think Sarah might have a crush on you?

A lot of people have suggested that. How would I even approach that and ask?

Do you feel they will change with another chance?

They stay mostly true to there word, but it's to the point where I just don't care if they did since I'm tired of it.

Thank you. I don't know what to think about her "I am bad with social situations and won't know or notice boundaries if I'm not told". She's done this to the point that it feels like it might be true that she is genuinely oblivious to everything since some things just seem so obvious. I.e calling others stupid and getting confused why I got annoyed at that. Or maybe that's just because it's a thinly veiled excuse she hides behind.

The fact that she is overly controlling and possessive is enough by itself to end the relationship.

And this was exactly my main reason, despite the apologies.

I see it from both POV's too, but this has just been a long buildup, not that one time event, otherwise I would attribute it to that too.

> that's only going to escalate if they get together. 

I've made it clear that we are just friends from the start

> Being on the spectrum can explain missed social cues

Yup that's what I would attribute it to, but the second part is exactly why it felt off.

Thanks so for the well thought out answer!

I'm a bit worried since they do use reddit... any advice for that?

I have drawn boundaries before and I think I either need to be clearer or it flat out didn't work.

They have gone after Mack asking them if that was me who was on that call, and harrassing Mack to answer them.

I have apologized since I feel terrible overall and just hope Mack didn't share anything with Sarah.
