My internet has barely been working, I tried to post a response to you this morning, but I couldn't get it to go through, so the gist of what I said is something like this:
It really sucks when you feel weird for the things you say to other people. I am notoriously bad about doing just that. I am not good at typical small talk and tend to have sort of not ordinary things I think about. I'm sort of like a random talking encyclopedia, so the things I say are whatever random thing I've been thinking about for a while or whatever topic has caught my interest recently. So I really understand feeling strange about the things you say. I am sorry the people you work with are jerks! Until a few months ago, I seriously thought i was the only "saying weird things" person in the world. But I have found out, through posts on here, that a lot of bipolar people are like me and it made me feel A LOT better about myself. Even if I still really cannot chit-chat with people I, at least, know that somewhere out there there are people who think like me. If you have the time, read through this post I made. It really, really made me feel better to realize I wasn't so weird and so alone.
