Junerain's got a great take on this and I totally agree! So many people are so blasted ordinary that they just don't know quite how to deal with us, so unfortunately, they often choose the mean route. While I don't mind people saying that I'm, "a bit odd", I'm not so fond of (as one coworker put it), "You are SO weird!!!"
And pootypoo82 (love your user name btw -- and that it rhymes!), I hope you did get a chance to read perpetuallysad's thread. We are interesting and not alone!
It does suck that your coworkers think their "humor" is ok (it's NOT!), but I hope you can take heart in the FACT that we bipolars are exceptionally interesting and cool, even if some others don't get it. Their loss.
