    Long distance relationship ended

    I don't think that will be possible for me right now, if at all. It was a combination of what she said, when she said it, and the intentions behind what she said that made everything right with me. It's... hard to describe. Maybe if I had her in my life for longer or if we had been in person it...

    Long distance relationship ended

    Hi, I was diagnosed with Asperger's at a young age. I don't meet people very often, and I have a hard time talking to new people. But I met a girl in December. She was really great. We had been talking a lot (~15k messages between us, if my estimate is correct). She told me that it wasn't a...

    Social Anxiety - Online as well?

    I can handle having a Facebook, but maybe it's because I use it more like an emergency contact system and only keep family and the people I'm pretty close to on my friends list.

    Social Anxiety - Online as well?

    I'm sure some of you suffer from social anxiety, as I do. I think my anxiety comes from not knowing the correct response to a given interaction. But, I'm able to cope by giving general replies, avoiding wholeheartedly stating something until I'm sure what's being asked of me, and giving agreeing...

    Can't say "I love you"

    I don't think that's quite right. People change all the time, sometimes the change is in us (generally speaking), most of the times it's in the other person. To expect, firstly, your list of things to remain true after you've ceased caring about a person, forcing you to continue your commitment...

    Can't say "I love you"

    "Enthusiasm" is the more likely definition than "Warm attachment", I believe. The thing is, I even have a hard time saying it as a word. I usually can only say it when quoting someone. It's the word itself somehow, I think.

    Can't say "I love you"

    Well, like many words, "Love" has many meanings. A couple definitions from Webster: "a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person" "strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties" "warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion" "a beloved person - often used as a term...

    Can't say "I love you"

    I don't know how to really talk about this (if it's even a thing to talk about here, or if this place is correct), but anyone else have a really hard time saying this? I'm not sure for how long I've had trouble saying it, but it's been the majority of my life. I can't say it to anyone, even if I...

    Social and Physical Boundaries - Help?

    A couple of things I've noticed that help not cross NT physical boundaries. I hope they are helpful, and that I've phrased them correctly. Try not to stand closer than elbows length. That should be the hard barrier you keep. Exceptions are during greeting hugs/cheek kisses (these depend on the...

    Skullgirls (Fighting Games)

    Fighting Game story modes actually have a lot of potential. Devs just usually never put the effort in. But sometimes they do, like Nether Realms with MK9 and Injustice (hands down by far best fighting game story modes ever). For me, when I play, knowing the basics of a character and why they are...

    Skullgirls (Fighting Games)

    That's how fighting games were for me for a long time, l stayed playing them every now and then, and my family would get a street fighter game or a tekken game and just play occasionally. We'd boot it up when a friend came over or whatever, but that was it. After Skullgirls though, I was...

    Skullgirls (Fighting Games)

    Hmm. I know just about every fighting game series that has come out, and I've played most of them. Thank you for trying to put me onto a new series, though.

    Skullgirls (Fighting Games)

    Okay. Thank you for participating. Also, people don't have to just participate just because. There are already places I talk about this game online, and a lot of people are involved in those conversations. I just wanted to see if anyone here was interested. If not, that's fine too.

    Skullgirls (Fighting Games)

    All of those games have had new games released in the past few years. Ultra Street Fighter 4, Mortal Kombat 9 (10 is coming out), Virtual Fighter 5 Final Showdown, Killer Instinct (for Xbox One), Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Tekken 7 coming soon). Also Street Fighter X Tekken happened. If you...

    Initiating and building connections

    I don't think it does. Connection in this context is the word for "you and another person having a relationship", there is no negative or positive or "deep or shallow" spin on the word. People do use stronger words for stronger connections, but this word doesn't imply a weak connection. Besides...
