>>7695860>Being an autistic loser just makes you an autistic loser and that's pretty much it you're not missing out on anything. I don't know what sold you the story that growing up in those years you should have a girlfriend or whatever... neither I did not many others and none of us were autists. We all turned out pretty good so it's really only a problem is you make it one.Look man, I get that it feels better to try and convince yourself that no, you did not miss out on anything by not having a gf at that age. It's hard to accept the painful reality of realizing you missed out on a great deal.
It's a whole cadre of feelings, some good some bad, of course a lot are "juvenile" and immature, in retrospect. It makes sense one would be immature at that age, considering ...well, they ARE that age. Anyway.
No one is saying it's not the be-end-all of existence to have missed out on teenage romance. There are so many other things in life. But that doesn't change the fact that if you didn't do this, then yes, you did miss out. It is special and intimate and amazing and heartbreaking. Sure you can get by in life fine without doing it, but it's like beating an RPG only to realize you missed out on a huge content-rich early game storyline that would have changed your perspective and understanding of the rest of the game dramatically.
