((Mudcrab)),

It is quite possible you "do" connect, however it is in your "own" way. We are "all" unique IMO, even identical twins are "unique" and have their "own" personalities.

I have never met a "perfect person" have you? I am not even sure anyone would know what a perfect person would be, perhaps something "not normal"

I know I am not "normal" anymore, I have PTSD and many of my "symptoms" that challenge me are only "normal to PTSD".

My saving grace has always been "to have an open mind". Even when I have a solid opinion on something, there is still a small space in case I might get "enlightened" into considering something different.

My husband found an advertisement for an inexpensive way for me to get diagnostic images taken of my brain for PTSD. Well, for a while I wanted to see, especially when I was struggling really badly. Now I am not sure I want to know. I am not sure I want to see some kind of damage I can't see now. Maybe it is better just to have an "open mind" and think about what I can learn to do inspite of whatever is there.

Hope and "having an open mind" is one and the same is it not?
