<human>: A bit of backstory. I'm 22, started university when I was 17. Never really had friends, developed intimate feelings. A few months after my 17th birthday I was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety disorder that could've started to develop a long time ago; I've been socially stunted since elementary school.

In any case, my family wasn't the most helpful; while I don't blame them for putting me ahead in grade school - which put me with children 1-2 years my elder - I did dislike the fact that therapy for my disorders and the associated stigma I felt and feared were held over my head to be used as a punishment or the butt of a joke, and I never got treatment for either disorder. 

I've since made a few friends online, and my best friend finally convinced me to go to a university football game, where I met my SO. Nearly a year of awkwardness later and we officially became a couple.

My SO has no previously established family of her own, and now that I'm finished with university - she went to grad school, I didn't - she wants to settle down. She's doesn't want children, and neither do I, though she does want me to cut off ties with my family. I've been thinking of doing it independent of her wishing to, but I'm hesitant. My family isn't bad per se, just sort of incompetent. I was a lot of firsts for them. First special needs kid (On the opposite end of the bell curve when you tend to think special needs, 1xx IQ), first to be diagnosed with any sort of mental health issue, etc. They admit they've made more mistakes than they would've liked with me.

That's also why she wishes for me to cease contact with them; I don't really know where I would've been without her, and she believes keeping in contact with them will just hinder my progress in bettering myself and handling my depression and anxiety.

I really do love my SO and she's massively helped me develop since we've met, but I'm afraid that since I've  never really managed to make friends I'll become very clingy and reclusive without even family to force me out of that nature.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: First and only love of my life wishes to settle down, cease contact with family. I suffer from depression and social anxiety and don't want to become too clingy without anyone else to connect with.
