One frustrating thing about autism is when your needs go counter to the needs of the people around you. And as a result you just have to either suffer alone or be an asshole.
Suffering alone is very hard.
It’s very easy for people to say: “just find something/someone else to fit that gap!”
But that’s not how the world works.
The only time that actually works if you intentionally let yourself get used by other people — and you have something worthwhile for people to use your for, whether that’s money or sex.
A lot of human relationships are sadly purely transactional. I don’t like those kinds of relations with other people.
