People are so normal on this forum.
I've mostly posted on forums for people with anxiety disorders, even the more serious ones like schizophrenia/bipolar. There I looked relatively normal. But interestingly, on here, I feel like the "bottom of the class".
And this tends to be my online persona, alter ego, where I can express my self-obsessions. In real life, I couldn't talk like this or people would ignore me totally. I try to exude a more extroverted personality, which fools some of the people some of the time......
I do tend to feel things more intensely than other people. I can still remember insults that were slung at me, when I was 13 years old!
The one thing that has saved me from being "highly strung" is being able to laugh at myself. or being able to laugh at absurdity.
Bu thanks to you all for your sensitive input. No one has said anything derogatory so I guess it's time I replied to someone else's thread..eh?

Hello Meg - I wonder if Nick meant - we are nice and understanding 'compared' to other sites he has been a part of ....
As for 'normal' - you're right - none of us are 'normal' on here - far more interesting than that

Hi Pats yes that is what Nick was saying and I hope we are all 'nice' here to our fellow members , I don't think we are all 'normal' though

Yes I did mean that. But I also meant that none of you seem to suffer animosity towards your fellow man or woman.
That I am the only who does now and then, marks me as suffering a mental abnormality.
