It**’s so serious, especially wanting a dad’**s hug. I hate these feelings. I even feel attracted to older men. What should I do?

For example, I’ve heard about “deep pressure hugs” that some autistic people find comforting—do you have things like that that help you feel calm and supported in your relationship?

Has anyone been through a similar experience? I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 25, and I**’**m afraid to tell my family. I still live with them, and I want them to be more understanding of my needs and more considerate in many situations. Are the benefits of telling them greater than the drawbacks?

It wasn’t a lack of care. I just got completely overwhelmed by the emotions, expectations, and everything happening around me, and I wasn’t able to go.

Now I’m dealing with a lot of guilt, even though I logically understand why I struggled. I still feel like I failed somehow.

How do you deal with this kind of guilt and emotional overload after missing important family events?

I feel like I can’t do it anymore

Im drowning

Dad I’m drowning ( I’m just a kid who need dad hug )

think I’m the most person in this world need care and feeling safe .
I can’t hide it anymore. I look for safety in every corner of my life. I get attached to a teacher , even a waiter who was helping me in a restaurant
But the shockingly part ?

I spent an entire semester looking at The teacher, wishing she would come hug me, wishing I could tell her everything I’m struggling with but I never moved. The whole semester passed, and I did nothing. I even avoid normal, everyday interactions.
When does this end
Please be gentle with me .

Hey everyone,
I’m writing this because the past period has been incredibly difficult for me. It has tested my limits as a human being, and honestly, it brought me to a very low and overwhelming place that I never thought I’d experience.
I like to think of myself as a logical person, and I'm trying my best to stay grounded, but the loneliness and the weight of it all is just too much to carry alone right now.
I don't need lectures or solutions. I just really need to feel some human empathy, kindness, and reminders that there is still light ahead. If anyone has a comforting word, please share it with me.
Thank you for being a safe space
