OCD, Asperger's, & Abandonment

Every time I have a crush on someone, even though I try to hide it (because I know they’re not interested) it comes out in a destructive way and the guy who was once a good friend abandons me without explanation. I’m almost 28 years old and have been dealing with this for 11 years. I’m going to a therapist now but all he does is say “uh huh” “uh huh.” I also have Asperger’s Syndrome and OCD, which probably is partially a cause of the problem. I also have a history of non-romantic friends ceasing to talk to me for no given reason.


Is this situation familiar to anybody?

There is hope

I can tell you this - you need to get to the root of your anger - is it with men? with you, perhaps your self-image? with your past and some event(s) that might have shaped the way you now deal with men and relationships? You will be fine- you are young - but you MUST change your therapist- you need someone who will give feedback! I am currently in therapy and it is very interactive (I even get homework!) and after only 2 sessions, I feel so hopeful again. Shop around for a new therapist and get excited about the end results that will come your way. You just need some positive intervention, some assistance with how to address and deal with your behavior. It's out there, trust me.
