I am not diagnosed SPD but I still find so much identification in this term "SPD"
relationships always have been difficult to me. I can hardly handle nearness, intimate connection.
Somehow I need a counterpart, friendships (friendships are rather possible) and just people to talk to, but eventually I am running back again to my solitude. I need my lonesomeness and sooner or later I am going to seek it. it´s like a resting place to me.
The last thing I want is to break someones heart by just running away one day,
so that´s one reason for I am avoiding relationships, especially parships even before they are capable to become growing,..
sometimes I think, when someone shows serious interest in me or even feelings for me,...I think something like: please, take care of yourself!!! don´t become the next "victim".don´t let me hurt you... this maybe sounds cruel, I know, but thats how it is...

I would like to know how others -those who find identification in SPD, too- live and see relationships and how you handle this difficulty between avoiding and needing.
