    Getting by socially - Nothing positive to talk about

    I used to be like that too, Jigglypuff. Maybe for different reasons. I am also autistic and used to be so worried people were just pretending to like me, or didn't want to talk to me or hang out but were too polite to say so, because I can't read people at all. I still can't tell if that is...

    Trying to find… someone I guess.

    I would recommend approaching this dating app stuff the other way around, if you're trying for deep connections. Meet for a cup of coffee before you spill your soul. Online friend/date making is such a heartache -- there's so much that gets lost when you talk through a screen. I think the...

    Getting by socially - Nothing positive to talk about

    Do you not read or play things anyway? What hobbies do you have? How do you spend your time when things are manageable? You say you have no interests. Do you just sit in a dark room and wait for time to pass? I mean, maybe you do, but I would think that's something that should be worked...

    Sufferer Feeling like it wasn't bad enough - non-contact CSA

    Thanks both. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I don’t think what’s happening for me fits the "avoidance" pattern mentioned. I’ve been diagnosed with CPTSD and I’ve done a lot of work understanding how the neglect, violence, and other abuse in my childhood created many of my...

    Sufferer Feeling like it wasn't bad enough - non-contact CSA

    Hi. Call me Bird. I've recently been diagnosed with C-PTSD. I knew my childhood was dysfunctional and scarring. I score 8 (maybe 9 -- we'll get to it) on the ACE questions. I understand why I'm jumpy, afraid to be close to people, most of what hurts I get -- my family was physically and...
