Not for us..

That's probably the best way to approach it Loli-Chan, just accepting it and trying not to let it bother you. You're right too, seems like everyone out there finds themselves in far more miserable relationships than good ones.

Loli-Chan, while I haven't had it nearly as bad that I feel I can relate a bit at least with the trust issues. I've known people online for years who I've never even told my name to. I always worry about what people are up to, if they're trying to take advantage of me or something. I wish you the best of luck with that person you met and hope things eventually work out for you two.

Loli-Chan, a lot of the people I hang around have all sorts of mental problems from autism to depression, some of which are suicidal or alcoholics or attend therapy or even all of those together in some cases, so I'm kinda used to it. Besides, I know no one likes pity no matter what limitations they might have. Not to mention I've had my own problems with social anxiety. After getting into an argument at work I turned full on hikki neet and wouldn't leave my room unless no one was home and even then just to grab food supplies. That lasted a few years, but I've gotten a lot better since then and have almost completely gotten over it. Still, I don't really like socializing with people offline and can't handle large crowds, also still find it hard to look people in the eye and often times avoid looking at people all together when talking to them (hard core 2D lover here). If you put in the effort I think you could probably get over some of your problems too. I know what you mean about having a hard time accepting affection, this coming from a person who's never really revealed much in his life. few months ago my aunt from out of state visited and hugged me and it was horrible. felt... I dunno how to describe it properly, like I had been violated. like someone just dumped a bucket of worms on me or something. handshakes are something I dread and I react to any kind of person touching me like when you touch a hot stove. Even complements would make me think the person's screwing with me. I don't know much about your relationship but from what I've read it sounds like you two are really good for each other. Hopefully in time you'll grow to trust each other and be able to take it further.
