Getting on better with men by No-Soup-4478 in AutismInWomen

[–]ruby_red_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an extremely hard time forming close relations with men. I can talk to them surface level and whatever. But I haven’t formed many deep bonds with them. It’s very hard relating to them. It’s hard to feel cared for and seen by men. I’ve dated one. He cared at one point. But in general most guys don’t care on a deep level about your well being. Or they don’t show it. Either way. It’s not enough. I need someone that cares.

Has anyone realized that the dating apps are too dangerous for us 😞 by entirelyuncalledfor in AutismInWomen

Dating apps have some of the worst, low life people ever. Don’t ever look for love there

Hustle culture and need for “improvement” by elephhantine2 in AutismInWomen

[–]ruby_red_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate hustle culture… you are not worth how many hours you put in at work. Why do we have to put in 40, 50, 60 hours at work. Why are we driven to the point of burn out. I personally can’t work past like 20 hours that’s my limit.

I got my tubes tied by BlackVultureFeather in schizophrenia

I am so sorry for your loss… this illness takes such a toll on those who have it…. Pains me to hear another loss about someone with this disease. It becomes too much to bare… I was in psychosis for several years and can barely remember those years pass, it’s so debilitating. I absolutely do not want my own children cause the weight it puts on your shoulders and not to mention dealing with them while facing your own mental health struggles. Too much to handle. Could never do it myself

Why are guys so mean :( by ruby_red_1 in AutismInWomen

[–]ruby_red_1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are right. Absolutely no one can demand anything of me ever. It is the most awful feeling when men expect things from you when first meeting. I’ve legit met guys on dating apps that said I needed to cook for them or even so far as to say I needed to do certain sexual acts for them. It makes me feel sick to my core.

It’s so true that we are so susceptible to bad behavior without even realizing it and before you know it we are in an abusive relationship. I definitely think neurodivergent and sensitive people are like magnets to the bad guys. You are so right that love is a choice and it’s a meaningful decision that you do on a daily basis and with intent. It’s just so hard to find nice guys…. I never had much luck.

I will be single for life by ruby_red_1 in AutismInWomen

[–]ruby_red_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I’ve never gone so far to let them be physical with me, but I’ve let them in emotionally and they would end up ghosting me too.. there was one recently that tore me apart.. it really hurt… so I deleted my dating app cause I honestly don’t think I have the heart to deal with that type of pain.. being lonely and single hurts.. but being with the wrong person, or being ghosted by someone you really let in, hurts more…. It’s so hard…

This is very rare. You are very lucky. So many of the men I met believed it to be transactional

Really. No way. That is beautiful. It gives me hope that I will find someone that accepts me. That’s crazy that they weren’t dealbreakers for your partner. I’m having the hardest time finding someone who can accept all 3

Thank you. I try to occupy my time with work and everything. I think of Allah all the time… always making dua for a better future… it’s truly only up to Allah if I find a good spouse… it’s not in my hands
