I have two friends with SzPD, but I'm emotional and sentimental. What does the other side of this look like?
Been friends with one for 9 years, the other 6 years.
I like the low maintenance nature and it matches my own differences in communication style But, I am extremely emotional and sentimental haha.
I think I'm doing a good enough job given the relationships lasted.
I wonder what a friendship like this looks like for someone with SzPD, having a hyperactive emotional autistic friend you hang with twice a year who can tell you you're an amazing friend and could write paragraphs about how cool you are BUT doesn't expect any reciprocity other than occasional snapshots into each other's lives kinda thing.
I have a close circle of friends, and a very large extended circle as well, so it's not like I hang with them out of desperation. I just hang out with them because I like them as people and take their word for things. If they don't reply for months, I honestly don't care.
