Alright!!! It's past midnight here, happy ween, trick or treat, I hope you all feel somewhat better. :3 I'm finally responding to the last long ask before I attempt to go to bed. Will we have success? I don't know.
Anyway: Regarding the showering, that's rough and I hope he gets better, really. (Even though he likes to show up in my dreams randomly because I have to be the most haunted bastard in the world apparently. Anyway dreams are a whole other thing I could get into, though I'm not sure they have much meaning.)
I don't think we collectively have ASPD, but I do have autism, and while not the same it can also make emotions and empathy weird to deal with. I always felt it was an interesting overlap. I just wish it was easier to talk to others about having low or fluctuating empathy without them automatically assuming the worst. Like, no, it doesn't mean I want others to hurt it just means I won't really know what the hells going on.
And!!!! I'd gladly ramble about my partner but I may need slight prompting at times on what specifically to talk about otherwise I'll draw a blank. (Another trait of mine I'm now side eyeing lol). Especially if it'll help you or you'll enjoy it!
As a final. I see you, other anons who like me. I'm glad to be favored. Eehhhhh (/gen)
With this, I go to bed. When I wake up I might ask some more questions, but you don't need to go in depth with the answers. (/gen) (it's pretty general stuff anyway.) Goodnight everyone!!!!
HIII Good morning! I hope you slept well! (I'm sure you'll get back to us when you can!)
And we're working with him as best we can, I feel really bad for him, it's really not his fault that he's like this and we all wish there was more we could do to help him, we're trying certainly.
And we also have autism! So it's really just a nightmare of misunderstandings. I agree with you on that point, that I wish people could learn about low empathy individuals without assuming that they WANT people to hurt or be in pain. That is such an oversimplification of it all.
We view you in many ways, as our friend, and hearing about things that make our friends happy is important to us, hence especially why we want to hear about you and your partner!
That is most of what I have to say on those topics, I'm also glad that the anons are enjoying our conversations! You are welcome to ask any questions you want, and we will answer to the best of our ability, even if that answer is just that we don't have an answer.
