I'm not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.

If you meet a vaguely autistic hottie who is into you, under no circumstances fumble. I don't usually feel qualified to take my unsolicited life advice that seriously, but I mean it this time.

Sorry to hear about your small head.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 38 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yes, BUT I unfortunately can't stand the cigarette stench.

Same energy as an unhoused cat choosing its new home.

I have zero game and no clue when it comes to signals.

I need this kind of woman, one that will be forward me.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 106 points 1 week ago (12 children)

"Game" doesn't exist. Clean yourself, be respectful of others, talk to people. That's the entire game.
You just lost the game btw, but that's to another point

Bruh I literally haven't lost the game in years.

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (14 children)

My 'game' issue is I kind of break down when I speak to a girl I am interested in.

I get so nervous and overthink that I stop functioning. I run out of things to say and the conversation just doesn't flow. I put way too much pressure on myself and it is extremely difficult to break out of it.

But if I speak to girls I am not interested in, then I am more myself. No pressure, not trying hard.

Most people wait to speak. A good listener is someone that asks the right question and therefore is assumed to be tuned into the conversation. Ask the right questions, get them talking and you become both a good listener and the strong silent type. There’s no reason or reward for you driving the conversation.

Otherwise known as being a human. Some people more socially anxious than others, but having social interactions helps a lot. Just don't try to have social interactions for a goal, so to speak. Talk to people about stuff you all interested in, and you will be surprised how quickly the awkwardness melts.

So, I can't really explain how to do this, but for me the way I overcame that was talking myself into not being interested in them first so I could manage a conversation and get to know them more and from there whatever happens, happens. Obviously you don't do this long term because you end up with that friendzone/girlfriendzone situation that makes people feel used but if you're just getting to know someone initially I think it's fine. It's also allowed me to filter some out when I learned more about their personality and realized I didn't like them as much as I thought I did or they made it clear they weren't into me like that.

This is my partner, minus the goth (her thing was hip-hop).

I wonder just how many times people on the spectrum were looked at as "Fae".

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 24 points 1 week ago

I've definitely seen claims that the idea of "a far stole my baby and replaced it with a changeling" could have been caused by ASD.

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago

I read a long time ago some esoteric bullshit book and the author literally described people on the spectrum as fae changelings.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 week ago

Kind of brought a tear to my eye

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 week ago

Don't worry, that's just a dhampir with a couple levels in suckubus. You let the right one in.
