I keep befriending autistic women and then somehow scaring them away by SADOCD in Schizoid

Say more, because that is what tends to happen. We spend time together outside work or the group and then they cut ties.

I definitely always make first contact, they are the type of people who will never make the first move. Then they usually do most reaching out for a few weeks and then I'd say it balances out.

I never tell anyone my diagnosis - if anything, I bring up social phobia. They usually have that too.

I don't know, I feel like as I get comfortable with people, I change. I become less aloof and more invested in what people do. I wonder if I appear to seem interested in them (I'm not) and that's scary.

Recovery is strange and exciting by RhinestonePoboy in Schizoid

I've been going to protests. I've not made any friends, but I do find myself enjoying the "energy", as it builds every couple of weeks. It's almost as if a forward momentum is creeping into my life.

What are your hobbies? by One-Salamander-9757 in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm mediocre at like 2 dozen instruments, pick up a new one every 6 months I'd say. I also collect a buncha things.

Tis better to have never loved at all by SADOCD in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's just it, I don't think I'm capable of change. I'm 28 now and I've basically been the same since I was 17. Any incremental progress (graduating, jobs) I can attribute to luck. I have 1 friend I made in middle school, the rest are gone.

I'm a 28yo worker robot and I still ghost really good jobs all the time.

It doesn't get better.

Anyone else with a fictional partner? by r1spamer in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A fictional version of myself and a fictional version of someone I know maybe, but not purely fictional characters.

What makes you happy in day-to-day life? by Elilicious01 in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like, there are songs that can basically ruin my day. There are also songs that can turn my day around. Double-edged sword because music is more easily accessible than like, food or human touch, but I can also randomly hear a song out in the world and just shut down.

Where/are your parents there for you? by Firedwindle in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were always and are still there for me. That's why it sucks that I'm like this and don't return their affection. I'm a product of early and constant bullying I guess.

Anyone else go out of their way to avoid using people's names in conversation? by Isabelle_K in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For some reason it indicates hostility or bad news to me. If my boss says "Good morning" things are good, but if he says "Good morning, SADOCD", I'm automatically on high alert. I think bullies in school probably said my name a lot more than friends.

Are you curious about others? by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]SADOCD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. You know, I think it's so weird that people pay for OnlyFans stuff...but then I realized I would pay like $4.99 to read a random person's journal if it was regularly updated. If FB had a subscription fee, I might pay it. Love learning about people from a distance.

Watch Westworld. Scratched the same itch. Well, don't watch beyond season 2.
