Why is being emotional and deep so stigmatized?

It is mostly stigmatized by people who do not feel that way. IMO, being emotional, as hard as it is, is preferable to being cold and uncaring.

I used to think that my diagnosis was wrong, but now that I have started dating I realized that I just might be.

Try to remember that a diagnosis does not define who you are, so don't take it too literally. Instead, look at your own individual qualities and deal with them the best you can, one day at a time. Otherwise you will let them rule your life.

We just started dating and I feel:

that he should call, text, communicate w/ me everyday
tell me how amazing and beautiful I am all the time
he should not be in contact with any other girl
obsess about me
he should want to know everything about me

The word "should" should be removed from the dictionary. Try this: what would you say to someone who said to you all of the things you just listed here?? Seriously, think about that. You are smarter than you think.

the fact that he doesn't and hasn't makes me feel unwanted.... i just want to own him.
Owning someone else means owning more junk. No one needs more junk- we all have enough of our own. Don't be a hoarder of emotions!
