Totally not worth your time. He's toxic. You can't change your behaviors and he shouldn't expect you to perform for him

???? break up with him babe. he's not worth your time and energy. a list is not gonna change his mind, but if you ever have doubts about whether or not you're autistic, don't worry, this is probably the most autistic approach to the situation you could've possibly made 😂

honestly I would suggest finding a better boyfriend. from experience, people like that don’t change and are not a good partner.

I would re-evaluate having a relationship with that person. It doesn't seem healthy to be with someone who thinks you're behaviors that you can't change are toxic.

I personally don't think I could date someone that thinks that something that's a part of my identity and is unchanging is "toxic". And is so adamant about keeping that opinion. If you have to convince your bf you're a good person with good intentions, I feel like that's a serious problem. Hopefully he's not as bad as he sounds right now. I hope he is patient with you.

yeah if being close to you and a basic conversation didn’t change anything then it’s best to either sit down and explain your feelings on it or reevaluate stuff

Being nice but no list is gonna change his mind. I met people who think that, they won't change.
