Search Results: does he like me as more than a friend

I need to get over this delusional mindset that a guy and a girl out together = couple
I suffer from high-functioning autism, am really good with beginner social interactions and social media, and I see a video of a girl and a guy doing TikTok booty dances in the same video, I immediately feel jealous. Addison Rae did the same crap with her BROTHER. People thought that was her boyfriend.

Guys and gals can make friends without ever making it sexual or even a date. I just have a hard time making friends, ESPECIALLY FEMALE friends, outside of school because of my shyness and outbursts. I need to start putting my damn self in other people's shoes. Autistic men have no sympathy... that's unfortunate for more than 70% of autistic men (+20% if of European/MENA descent, which includes me) actually..

My mind explodes when a girl that I talk to literally takes a pic with a guy next to her. I feel jealous because she doesn't caption "boo" or "boyfriend." I feel completely different when it's two girls or two guys. Admittedly, my culture (Jordanian and Armenian) views "traditional gender roles" (read: toxic masculinity... which actually makes men lowkey weaker than women) as ideal. Most of my cousins especially on the Jordanian side have ditched that ideology. (Armenians tend to be ultraconservative.)

I am an old southern white boy. (If you are already assuming that you can predict something about my attitudes based on that sentence, then that is an example of PREJUDICE: judging someone's character on the basis of stereotypes.)

I have friends and acquaintances who are members of different races and ethnic groups. But I have a strong dislike for ghetto culture. If you want to claim that ghetto culture does not exist, post your own question or myTake on that topic. For me, and for many, many people, it's real, it's counterproductive, it exalts ignorance, and it perpetuates itself. And I dislike anybody who embraces or tries to advance ghetto culture.

Ghetto culture does not belong exclusively to one race or ethnic group, just as Section 8 housing and housing projects are not occupier exclusively by one race or ethnic group. In fact, less than 50% of all households in federally subsidized housing are black.

It occurs to me that my rejection of ghetto culture might lead some people to assume that I am a racist (and that fuels their need to get their SJW fix.) What do you think? Is disapproval of ghetto culture the same thing as racism?
