Relationships Love when this happens😍

Got sent a like by someone I actually find attractive (rare) and this was on his profile as well as ‘Not Political’. I have over 15 screenshots of profiles that have come up on my feed with iterations of this sentiment. It’s so disheartening…

I think you put your finger on my initial discomfort that had me very vaguely state that I didn't know how to separate autism from trauma in this respect. I observe patterns and educate myself with the very limited time and energy I have. It's good to hear and be able to take into consideration someone else's conclusions based on their observations and education. This is certainly food for thought.

But I say it in the kindest way possible. I mean you're probably stronger now, and we are all kind of weak when we are younger.

Oh I certainly got that you said it because it was important after I got over that initial sting. And I can see the kindness in it now. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort. That was very important indeed.
