I'd say that one time or another
someone has questioned my capacity in all or most of the areas that you mention and I've had the option of deciding that I must be whatever they suspected... sometimes a psychopath, sometimes schizoid, sometimes passive-aggressive, sometimes just plain crazy "NOS". Somewhat to their frustration, I didn't buy it. Walking away from such arguments I'd sometimes say to myself, "I don't
think they're right but if it turns out that they are then... so what?"
Right now I'm a bit curious about how we happened to arrive at such different conclusions from what might or might not have been somewhat similar evidence.
