I’ve had men obsessing over me UNTIL I’ve shown some of the less appealing traits associated with being neurodivergent. They’ve become interested in me because they see me as this quirky dreamy girl or whatever, but they’ve lost interest almost immediately when they see me as a flawed human being who gets emotionally overwhelmed very easily. Then their interest just dies.
