Hey so what actually is a situationship? Straight neurotypical people keep talking about them and I keep almost understanding it, but not ACTUALLY understanding it

partially because none of them agree on what it is. it’s some kind of romantic/sexual involvement that’s not an official relationship but different people disagree completely on the details

agree with 1 & 3! as an autistic i like to define my relationships because i have an idea of what i want and clear definitions make things simpler. situationships tend to be defined by the fact thay they are poorly defined. it’s like being in the dating period without being official, but they refuse to put any label on it and let it span over months of time, ridiculous

Don’t even get me started on anything to be honest because I could yap about this for so long. I think I could dive into every single sentence for about 20 minutes minimum and I could also manage to tie that back to my own deep deep insecurity of being used for my body. I have this fear because I am a conventionally attractive, 19 y/o blonde girl and I know how to mask if I need to, but I have zero desire to be with the chad in a frat or whatever.

Situationships have always existed, it's just having a casual fling but one of people involves cares way more than the other and they lack communication skills

Because they don’t know what thinking is, they just paste their brains into AI

Loyalty through tough times, being honest despite how difficult it is for NPC people to do that lol, trust is built, people don’t realize that they are damaged going into the relationship. They don’t take the time to think about how they’re “projecting their own insecurities” as TikTok people say (without realization of what it means). I actually take this to a whole new level and can pretty much see through a lot of BS

I am most celibate when I am confident in my body. I embrace all of the insults and enjoy being called manly and too muscular, genuinely tho- I never ever get sad about that type of insult, because I’m trying to do exactly that lol

Ngl, I literally am only ever reliant on the dopamine and oxytocin release from being in a bunch of “Situationships” when im deeply deeply depressed. It doesn’t really help if depression is partially caused by low serotonin levels . again we both know we’re just using each other for this sort of chemical gratification and yea

I’m very frustrated because I absolutely hate how I perceive men in society as nothing but primal beings pretending to care about anything other than sex. I can’t un see every subtle queue that I know about or the fake stuff that people evidently learn off of porn. I can’t not see the lie I’m told, because I know they would have never approached me if they never were physically attracted to me. And unfortunately, straight men are wired that way biologically so yeah. Non-monogamous forever
