"I can only pick someone like ME to be partners with; someone who feels...completely and utterly alone". This is my favorite line. Mostly because I can really identify with this. I've had a handful of outgoing and confident friends who've come from good backgrounds. But personally, I have a high affinity in terms of relatability for misfits and outsiders; people who know the pain and sadness from being all alone. I just feel like I can understand them better and trust them more. Even if they've never met someone autistic like me
