This is all hypothetical, btw, in relation to someone else. Neither my husband nor I particularly emotionally expressive!

Difficult for me to weigh in. Friends have never been about emotional support for me. That's what family/significant other is for.

I'll GIVE emotional support in friendships, mind you. But I just don't seek it for myself in that context.

Interesting, coz I'm the opposite. Well, I'll give support. But I'm also very close 2 a no. of friends & really need that intimacy.

I think it's because I'm an Aspie. I'm not even aware of the nature of my feelings half the time. Dismiss them as random.

That's interesting. Do you find that mostly helpful? Or frustrating? Or is that not the right question 2 ask. I'm v diff, so fascinated.

It's mostly annoying. I'll have sudden feelings of anxiousness or sadness and have no idea why. I just try to ignore them.

My daughter might be. She says 'I'm anxious/sad and I don't know why' quite a lot. Sometimes I can see why.

I used to think it was just an anxiety disorder, but it turns out it's typical Aspie stuff.

Hmm. One psychiatrist says my daughter is on the spectrum and the other says no, general anxiety disorder.

But that doesn't explain not recognising faces, not responding to pain & having a kind of confident social awkwardness!
