I’m a 27 year-old male diagnosed with Aspergers’ since I was 3, grew up an only child, am great at studies, even did a BA Degree in Digital Media Production but really struggle with socialising especially women.
This hasn’t been helped by the fact I was pretty much addicted to masturbation since I first did it when I was 13, and never really stopped completely, I’m so grateful I discovered this community, just reading other members posts on here make me realise how many other guys are going through the same struggles I’m experiencing right now.
I feel like my addiction to porn and masturbation has messed up my view of women and only seeing them as objects of attraction rather than individuals which is why I’m trying my best to quit porn altogether and try and cut down masturbation. (The longest I’ve gone with NOFAP in the last few years has been about 2 weeks, yeah, I know it’s not great but there was a period I was doing it several times a day so I see it as progress)
I’ve only ever had 1 relationship when I was 21 and lasted only 2 months, since then I can’t stop thinking about getting into another relationship no matter how hard I try to ignore my desires.
I’m worried that due to my Aspergers making life more complicated, my social anxiety and the fact Im terrified of asking a girl out even though deep down I want to but my fear holds me back makes me feel just giving up on the idea of love.
Any advice would be really appreciated
