So no one's posted yet.

Then let me post first. Apparently I'm learning to connect to the affective experience of being with people, friends, romantic stuff...

It's a terribly slow process. Painful. Tedious. Keep feeling like I'm about to give up. So yes, many difficulties overall.

And I have no therapist for this as I haven't found anyone so far who fits my needs, especially someone with experience in this issue (and other problematic areas).

But I'm maybe seeing some tiny progress. I'd like to think I'm not wrong about this as I have recently actually felt something that was long forgotten and also felt things that were new in the sense that I never actually experienced them with actual people in actual reality before.

There are side effects so I'm not sure yet how this will end up long term.

But if someone else has gone through this, I'd like to hear from them
