The traditional path of initmacy is hard. Definitely harder for someone on the spectrum. We can look very attractive physically and have attractive personalities.
But the problem is that you need to build social circles and maintain those circles by being socially active outside of work and/or schooling.
You have to navigate the subtle flirting. You have to understand the cues and be confident. You have to find friends that will vouch for you to find that girlfriend.
But, when you come home socially burnt out or not interested those doors are closed. Its like we have to force ourselves to do something we dont want to do.
Look, Im gonna be honest. I can only focus my social interaction on a limited amount of people. I would prefer to find someone who else is an introvert.
Its not working fast enough and that's the problem.
I also just want to get laid once in my life and not just for physical pleasure.
I had thoughts of going to a psychiatric facility but realized that won't help me get laid either. That would make it worse. Like, Im involuntarily in this position and I need help.
I know fornication is against my religious beliefs but holding out this long has pushed me to want to ignore it.
I don't know what to do as I see the clock ticking.
I just turned 31 today and I'm not sure what to do.
Perhaps a sex therapist. IDK….
