... that no one "gets it". Or, I suppose, that no one gets me. I'm currently engaged in an undesired flame war in 2 threads at the same time in one forum on another site and all because, from my point of view, responders are not understanding my posts.

It is either that, or they are not being read carefully enough. I suspect the latter, however, in one particular case, I reiterated my questions in much simpler terms at least twice and they seemed to respond only with more useless info. If you're comfy with computer lingo check out:

and then tell me, is it just me?

Because if I am right, and people just can't be bothered to read my posts carefully enough to respond to them effectively, then what's the point? OTOH It's been happening a lot lately and it really has me wondering if I've started round the bend, so to speak.

But that's only an example. I feel as though there's no sense discussing anything because no one gets it anyway.

Normally, I don't have this attitude (I don't think.) But right now I feel almost everything I say is a waste of my breath.

At this point, I feel that I should fess up that I'm pretty much knee deep in a hypomanic period. All the more reason why I am not sure who is actually not understanding. My judgement is out of whack. But I have always found that my linguistic skills are at their height at this point, so I doubt my logic is flawed in that thread, for example.

Incidentally, another odd thing that's happened is that I was talking with my father the other day on the phone, (for background, I'm 40, he's 75,) and he says to me, "You're getting strange, kid." I honestly don't really know what that means, coming from him.

Your thoughts, kind folk?
