To put it simply, he made it clearer and clearer that he wasn't all that tolerant of the more "autistic" aspects of myself -- difficulties in socialization, detail retention (at least when it comes to details of things that don't pertain to my interests), what have you. (For the record, I am formally diagnosed.) That clarity made me realize it was becoming more stressful to try to keep him involved in my life than it was to let it go, so let it go I did. When you start dreading your interactions because you just know you'll be made to feel like shit about yourself in some way or another, it's not exactly a difficult choice to make. The kicker was that he wasn't always a social butterfly himself, so you'd think he would be a little more sympathetic toward people like myself. <cite>Philip027 posted [p:950623117] in Have you e...
