I mean romance is a little hard for me to grasp since I mostly either end up being attracted to straight men or guys who aren't good to me.

An emotion that helps increase the odds that you protect and provide for your loved ones so they can continue the life cycle which leads to futher reproduction. Especially your offspring.

That's the clinical term for it, but it's not entirely correct.

It's not entirely clinical to be honest.

But as for the matter of what is love, if I am honest Solipsism did a pretty big blow to my relationships with other people. It's hard for me to open up when I can't be sure about what I am opening up to or if it is truly there.

So you want to be sure before you open up?
Why not take a chance? It is better than putting the nail in the coffin.

How far has Solipsism gotten you and is that how you want to live?

Taking a chance hurts because I don't want any effort to be wasted by investing and tending and caring for something that isn't real.

Solipsism hasn't gotten me very far in life, actually it's left me quite stuck to be honest but the fear of it being correct paralyzes me and causes me to keep my distance from those around me and act hostile to them as well.

It's not productive I know and it's a waste of mental energy, but I don't know how else to function here.

You either grow the nerve to send Solipsism to hell or stay a slave to it.

You don't have to search how to be without Solipsism, just be.

It's just that I have inklings that it might be true like seeing into the future (having a dream that something might happen and then it happens making me think I shaped reality).

I do have to search how to be though. It's not that simple to just send it to hell.

No it is not simple. It could be a long battle.

Have you been diagnosed with any mental disorders or do you have any issues affecting your brain function?

It's got nothing to do with brain function, it's just a philosophical problem.

I personally think it's going to be OK.

It's like the wave on the water far away
as you watch a squirrel jump from island to island
across the tree tops,
and theold logs go plumping to the surface of the lake.
LEavine the ripples and wave that you now see growing closer.

Only aspergers but that's it. It has nothing to do with my issues with Solipsism. On some level I think it's false, but I can't prove it and reading philosophy on it makes my head hurt because I can't understand anything they are saying.

What if it is true, is that how you want to continue living if it is?

Sounds like you didn't get a lot of love from your parents, directly or indirectly.  You have my sympathies in this "love" problem.




I did but it was suffocating. Always needing to know what I was doing, expecting to give hugs and kisses when I didn't feel it or want to (otherwise they would get upset and pout about it all), and not really supporting what I wanted to do and more like making be join things I had no interest in. It's a long list but for me love seems to be suffocating and confining.




Did you ever get the feeling that you were appreciated the way you are? Maybe your feelings come from always needing to be something for them. It is probably an unconditional love that you are longing for, but that is a rare one. Also the parent-child relationships may not often have that love. Doesn't mean that love should always be unconditional, that is another condition put on love. Still wise people don't need much from the other in a relationship. The mutual love for another is enough.
