Otherwise, I only want to be alone, in my room, by myself. My anxiety, depression, constant worrying torments so badly that my life becomes, "what can I do to make myself feel better?" Therefore, I could never really love someone the way that they might deserve and want. So the short answer is yes someone with SPD could fall in love, but don't expect them to be really too aware of and interested in how you feel, what you want, etc. You would just have to be understanding of that because people with SPD cannot express emotions well.
...That thought. Therein lies much of the pain. You also nail it with your last sentence, Crow. I think success is impossible without that understanding.
