Is there a (short) name for:
1. Not defining relationships as eg. "boyfriend" vs. "lover" vs. "friend", etc. but rather just treating them all as "wherever it ends up going that we both feel comfortable with"?
2. Not experiencing 'relationship degradation', ie. if I haven't talked to somebody for 5 years and then talk to them again, it'll be exactly where we left off?
(Boosts welcome!)
@joepie91 the first is what I define as relationship anarchy, the second is being understanding of neurodiverity
@dysphoricunicorn It's more than just "being understanding of", though - I really mean that I don't experience relationship degradation at all, on a personal level, there's just no 'time' component to my relationships... and this is apparently uncommon!
@joepie91 I don’t experience that either. It’s probably an ADHD thing since I don’t really have a concept of time.
I just don’t think that this is something that people who don’t work this way can "learn", so from their perspective I’d call it understanding
