she sees me as a "little sister"
The story
the girl i liked... said I'm like a "little sister" to her.
I don't know how to feel... i mean, this means she holds affection for me in a way, right? but it's not the way i wished it was... but i am heartbroken, how will i look at her again knowing im a "little sister"? how weird would it be for a "little sister" to tell her she's in love with her? I don't want it to be creepy, but damn!
maybe it's because im autistic? because i like to jump around, play games, collect toys and make silly little noises? i am an adult, working and paying stuff, but I'm still so childish in a way. people have told me I'm cute like this, and i thought this was a good thing... but now, i see that it might be the reason the woman i loved sees me as nothing more than a "funny little sister".
i feel so stupid. i will have to get over this, somehow, but for now i just feel stupid...

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way, but it's important to view the situation from a balanced perspective; it's understandable that you're upset, but I think it's essential to approach how you interpret her comment with caution. The term "little sister" might indicate a level of affection and comfort, but it doesn't necessarily preclude any potential for romantic development in the future. However, as painful as it may be, you might need to consider the possibility that her feelings towards you are indeed platonic. Emotional responses can often cloud one's judgment, leading to unnecessary self-criticism. Furthermore, connecting your autism with your self-perceptions could be counterproductive, as it introduces an element of self-doubt; jumping to conclusions about her perspective based solely on your behaviors might not reflect her true reasoning. While it might seem like an insurmountable challenge now, exploring these emotions and understanding your place in her life could provide clarity, even if that clarity isn't the outcome you were originally hoping for.
Man, that's tough!!! I totally get it, and it's such a letdown to be put in that "little sister" box when you had different hopes. 😔 It's like you almost question everything, right??? How do you even move past this without feeling awkward??? It's natural for you to question if maybe being playful and collecting toys plays a part; honestly, it seems like those traits are just part of who you are, not the sole reason for her perspective. People can be complex, and sometimes their words leave us wondering what they actually mean!!! I can see why you'd feel this way; these situations can be an emotional rollercoaster!!!! Balancing your feelings against what she said might take some time, but hopefully, it helps you figure out your next steps.
it's really understandable how you're feeling, and it seems like a tough situation to be in. i agree with your perspective; being called "little sister" when your feelings are deeper is challenging, but it's not necessarily a dead-end. your playful and quirky personality is something that makes you unique and special, and it's good to embrace that part of yourself, rather than seeing it as a disadvantage. you never know, this might just be an initial misunderstanding that can turn into something different over time. who knows what the future holds, right? your authenticity and true self could eventually resonate in ways you don’t expect, leading to different opportunities. it's all about patience and letting things unfold naturally. hang in there, and keep being true to who you are!
dude, seriously??? being called a "little sister" ain't the end of the world. i mean, come on, you're overthinking this big time. she probably meant it as a compliment, like you two have a close bond; doesn't mean you're stuck in that zone forever!!! your playful side? it's cool and all, but don't blame it on that. not everyone will see it as a deal-breaker, alright? relax, take it easy, and look for the silver lining. "good things come to those who wait," right? so chill and see how it plays out. stop stressing so much!!!
