I was in a situationship for 2 years. I am now 2.5 months removed from it. But with each passing day, I have less of an urge to talk to women.

My friends often talk about their relationships and their dating prospects. I am simply out of the game.

For the self hatred? I think that has to do with the fact I’m on the autism spectrum, and never found that I could communicate as seamlessly as others.

Dating is fun for some people. For me, it’s an anxiety-riddled adventure. And it’s a ride that I want to get off of. I would want to get to the part of the relationship where it’s not stressful and when you can completely trust the other person.
