Oh, holy hell, I've gone and written too much again.
You can post as much as you'd want, and I'd always read it!

I did notice a bit of "to each their own" with my ex. She had schizophrenia, depression, and social anxiety (all diagnosed). And it was incredibly challenging to balance our relationship around her lows and my highs. Eventually we separated in a healthy way. So when I got back into the dating game. I made sure to find someone who had the same highs as I did. I love the whole dating experience, and the amount of learning involved. It's amazing how much you can learn about someone else, but mostly about oneself just by being shoved into so many crazy situations.

My current wife and I don't always share the same playstyles in-game. She'll farm for doggos over and over again. And I absolutely loathe the idea of dedicating time to a mount I'll never use. So often we compromise a bit and I'll run 5-10 rounds with her. Or othertimes we literally do entirely different things while enjoying the same game. Those couples who are 'glued at the hip' confuse me beyond words too, lol. My wife and I are both fiercely independent, and it works great for us.

Tigger is certainly a creature I can relate to. ^.~ In more modern TV, I tend to tell people that I'm like Mr. Peanutbutter from Bojack Horseman. And OMG did I relate to the whole 'mayor' arc. The Diane girl reminds me of my ex, lol... But people like Mr. Peanut Butter and myself just struggle to contain ourselves. My wife sometimes just rolls her eyes when I open my mouth on the internet. But that's part of the package she accepted when we got together.

One of my things with honestly that I'm working with. IS that I absolutely appreciate it when people open up with the truth that they have autism, or something like social anxiety. Because in the past if someone ditched me--I'd think they lied to me. But if they've admitted to having social anxiety. I try my best to give them the benefit of the doubt if I know there's a valid reason (like having anxiety). "Oh yeah, they don't like social situations, so maybe they're sitting this one out. Maybe I should text them and reaffirm that it's cool. I get it!" I mean, I don't really get it. But I understand that social anxiety equals 'might not show.'

For example, the other day, when you replied to my post and told me about falling under the thin skin thing
I feel like a jerk for not recognizing your name. Normally, I tend to gloss over names online unless I've had a few repeat encounters or begin to build a more stable friendship. But it might also be because I socialize with an extraordinaire amount of people on a daily basis that it becomes harder to remember different names sometimes. Maybe it's a quirk.
