    And when you find someone, and then it doesn't work out, the pain is totally blinding because it's so hard to find someone.

    I feel that I absolutly can't build a relationship with someone, which mean the risk of the entire collapse of my world if I get used to that person and if she leaves. It could be impossible to survive the pain. I protect myself from it, staying well away, alone, safe. Grounded alone. Thank you so much for your work Imi Lo, you have such a just and profound comprehension and word it so well. You are a bright light in the dark. You bring a balm to my heart ♥

    I was wondering for a long time I’m a great guy and why it’s so hard to find someone and others are also surprised I’m single for a long time. Now tgat I realized I’m gifted, now I better understand why this is happening. Which solves a big puzzle and I already have long ago adjusted to being alone and it’s not that bad. Now I want to know what else I may have to look forward to or make more sense of the other things that may come with ppl. that are gifted and intense.

    You say don’t shield.. life is worth loving? How is that when every time I attempt to love people I’m treated like shit, dismissed and rejected. I’d rather be cold and shielded than to keep hurting like this.

    You pick up that the person someone lies to the most is themselves. This goes for most people. Other people either dont notice or dont bother to confront the person with the lie they tell themselves. I observe a lot of things. See patterns in behavior. Predict behavior. I have been diagnosed with autism. Maybe I put up walls around me because I picked up unresolved trauma around me in adults a could not do anything about it except shut it out. I went into my body to evoke the emotions stired in my body and break out.

    It's perceptive of you.. Many people are either unaware of this self-deception or opt not to address it. Your diagnosis of autism may have influenced the way you interact with the world. Building emotional walls could be a coping mechanism, especially if you sensed unresolved trauma in adults around you. I hope you find the support an information you need!

    I'm at the last step of an NPD abuse relationship. Being stuck in an "abandonment" state, being neglected, my reputation got damaged, and losing my moral control... In my head, I have pretty clear visions of my death, when and how. Only depends on what comes next to trigger the system. I'm glad that this article, not only reversed my suicidal system, but also taught me how to love to full, for myself.

    I have been forced to accept that I'm a weirdo and will experience life alone. Society seems to suggest that we have personality problems. Maybe that is true but maybe it is more complicated. We just don't have much in common with others.

    Don't give up. Remember that anyone not a weirdo in the world's eyes would never work for you. The fact that you exist is sufficient proof that someone complementary does, too. The only way you'll find them is to keep shining your light. It only takes one.

    I like this in general, but the idea of settling for a life partner who is not also a soulmate makes me physically ill. I don’t even see how that’s possible, let alone desirable. I couldn’t even experience initial attraction. I feel that a partner ought to be a passion, not in a “silly” limerent way, but in a deep-soul-resonance way, much like my intellectual passions. I understand that I’ll potentially be single forever.

    I am grateful to have my wife, although it is difficult to completely synergize, she keeps the loneliness at bay. Group dynamics are an entirely different beast, I can manage but feel so exhausted towards the end. It hurst because I love people and each one has a unique essence but after a certain time at a "dinner party" I start to feel overwhelmed; I try to self-coach and it works for a while, but the inevitable flight is already in motion. Is there a suggested regimen for planned isolation and socialization that Imi or anyone here has discovered?
