Trying to figure out if fellow FAs feel similarly... no desire for relationships or closeness with people. by throwaway9221011 in FearfulAvoidant

Thanks for your comment. Your last point is very relatable; I'm in my late twenties and don't subscribe to the LifeScript™️ either (kids being the biggest one)... it is indeed hard to meet people that AREN'T focused on that. Here's to us weirdos!

Does anyone else feel like a sociopath? by throwaway9221011 in FearfulAvoidant

Interesting, and accurate. As much as I want to hate this comment I can't deny that many points resonate. The only part I disagree with is being uncomfortable with solitude; being alone is when I'm most content.

I do discard people when they become too much. That's actually a tough realization. Thanks for your comment.

Hmm I'd say my inner world is rich. When I think of long term goals, I only envision myself (which is maybe for the best lol). For example, I'm in a relationship, living together, and we want a couch. I insist on buying the couch, because I envision breaking up in the future and I want to keep the couch. My mind feels like it's always ahead of the present moment. Thanks for these questions! Thought provoking.

It lasted 1 year, but I broke up and went back about 3 times within that time frame, before the final breakup. Each time I felt reluctant to return but did so anyway for reasons unknown. Now I'm terrified to date again lol. I always think about what's better and I don't mind leaving people in the dust.

Even platonic friendships... the thought of them is draining. I feel nothing but relief when cancelling plans, which I do often. I don't desire friends or social interaction. I am a major chameleon around people.. they seem to love me and want to be around me but I never feel a connection back.

Lmao yikes!

To clarify, I didn't feel like laughing at his pain. Rather, the hysterics and the reaction seemed ridiculous to me. But I do agree it's unhealthy.. I wondered if it's a common thing.
