I am becoming pretty well versed with the male aspie from talking to ppl online. I know he does not mean anything malicious and he usually later explains that he was overwhelmed and what I did/said that overwhelmed him. And then we talk about it. We are just friends bc he is on another continent. I think part of it is the change aspect of it. I was used to texting him at certain times of the day, and if that goes away, I dont really know how to navigate the change in my routine.
And yes, I stand up for myself and tell him when he is being mean and/or harsh. Which is usually only because he is being brutally honest. He's never mean to be mean.
Ah, yes.
We aspies, more men than women I believe, luv our unmitigated honesty.
For the life of me, why would anyone want anything less?
I actually despise white lies to manage my emotional state.
Seriously.
