How to stop being such an insecure little bitch

I'm a 21 y/o autistic female (like genuinely autistic, not ~lel-u-autistic-fuck autistic) and I've been dating a 22M normie

He's the absolute sweetest, has done nothing to make me doubt his affection towards me, but I still can't help but get worried that I'M too... much? I worry that I am too much and that he will nope the fuck out because of this. So this worry in my head gets louder if he hasn't texted me on a morning for a while, or if I wave at him at work and he doesn't look absolutely overjoyed to see me (I know, I sound horribly self-centred).

I KNOW that these are just normal things, he doesn't text on a morning sometimes because that's not a necessary thing, because people forget, because he might want me to text him morning! He doesn't look 100% overjoyed and thrilled when I wave at him at work because he's at work and concentrating. I know there are rational explanations, but knowing them is different from taking them on board.

I don't let on any of this, I have a cool, calm, collected outer shell, and these worries are never with me when I'm actually WITH him in person.

TL;DR How do I stop being such an insecure girlfriend?

yeah and I'm trying not to fuck it up :(

>autistic men get no one
No hope.
Anyways op, I feel you on the autism part. It is real rough dealing with people that don't have it. What were they like before you started dating him? Can you think of any other problems? I know it's cliche, but telling him in person how you feel about this stuff will be the cure

>dating someone

Were you dianosed? If so when?
It's highly unlikely that an autistic person would enter a romantic relationship by themselves. It's just beyond the ability of the majority of autistic people.

Well, I wasn't actually diagnosed, but I am a nerdy gamer girl who is OBSESSED with Doctor Who, so I'm pretty much autistic by society's standards.

Ah, another shitposter. Tell me, what's your Myers Briggs type?

> I have a cool, calm, collected outer shell, and these worries are never with me when I'm actually WITH him in person.
You're sabotaging yourself here. By being more open about your feelings, you could give him a better basis, so he'd know how to make you feel more content. The way you act shows him that he's doing everything perfectly right, when he could do a bit better.

That said, insecurity often comes from lack of accomplishments. Do shit you can be proud of and you'd won't overthink retarded shit like morning text or looking 100% overjoyed.

>>17716173
That's being boring, not autistic. Autism is a mental illness not just some vague word for socially retarded people.

>>17716167
I was diagnosed recently.
>>
Btw I'm OP and not the shit poster. I have a formal diagnosis.
>>
>>17716185
This is true. I just worry that saying this will come across as too much as well. But you're right.
>>
>>17716211
Well, you can start small and phrase it in a non critical way. "I love getting good morning texts from you" ... which should be a decent hint to him to write them more often if he isn't even more autistic.

Though on the other hand, it's like you said, there is a perfectly rational explanation for his behavior and from the examples given, there isn't really anything that should make you worry.
>>
>>17716204
What specifically were you diagnosed with? And what symptoms do you have? How does it affect your life and relationships?
>>
>>17716110
I used to be just like you, except I am a guy and I'm in an long distance relationship. I had constant anxiety for about 6 months or maybe a year (I'm bad at remembering how long), I'd worry about what she is doing except when we cam. I'd overthink almost everything she says in a way which would hurt me. But, like you, I recognized that I was being very irrational. Now I am completely chill and these sort of worries don't come to me. I've relaxed to the point where now she kind of misinterprets it sometime, but I do explain to her that I'm just more chill about the relationship.

I don't know exactly what happened, but I think I just mentally dealt with the fact that I might lose her someday, she might do something to hurt me someday, she might even be doing something right now. I accepted that and realized there's nothing I can possibly do to stop her from doing that if she chooses so. If I lose her, then oh well. But I do trust that she will not do such a thing and I don't think those negative thoughts anymore.

It was honestly torture to be in that mindset where I was paranoid about what she might be doing. I'm pretty sure I was depressed, although I don't know exactly what depression is. I was just so extremely insecure.

I'm not sure what to say but I'll answer any questions you have. I might not answer right away though.

>>17716777
Also I want to add that I think it's extremely important to recognize that you are being irrational. And you do recognize that, which is great. Some people don't and they act out their paranoia and don't think that they're wrong for behaving in such a way. Try to resist trying to find out what your partner. Even if it would be easy to find out about what your partner is doing, simply don't do it. While it will provide you relief the moment you find out he's not up to anything bad, it'll only get worse because you'll want to know more and more. There won't come a point where you find out enough.

It's the same at my work. Incredibly ugly chick? Oh she has a boyfriend. That chick that seems to have aspergers? Oh she has a boyfriend too. The male version of them, such as myself? Fucking noone, just lonliness.
