we've all got them, right? this isn't just a me thing, right???
you meet nice people, you get to know them, and you realize that they really like you but actually you don't like them
what's it like for you? how do you deal?
my strategy is to just be kind and supportive but largely unavailable, but as a late-diagnosed autistic person, idk if I'm doing it right
do I need to formally break up with these people as friends or is distance enough?
maybe this belongs in /c/neurodivergent or /c/askchapo 🤔
My ex. She's undoubtedly a friendly soul, but after I broke up with her, I had to make things clear that I think we should not continue contact at all, even though she was somewhat insistent that she still wanted to just talk to me as a friend. She was rather obsessive, and I think if I were to stay in touch with her, she'd probably react unkindly to this news.
