Three things strike me:
1. Blue Inanna's statement that she likes all types of personalities and views. That's the ideal, and I like that very much.
2. Judgmental. It's wrong. It's narrow-minded, and it's unfair. Don't ever judge yourself based on somebody else's opinion of who you are. People don't reveal the real truth about things you're talking about when they speak. They really reveal more of themselves than anything else. Don't judge yourself at all; just live by your deepest inner principles and you'll be fine.
3. The black and white view: unfortunately, that can be one symptom of bipolar illness, that and letting our feelings get in the way of our thinking. The black and
white thinking is too tyrannical; it's narrow-minded also and people who have that peculiar trait need to get psychiatric help to find a better way of behaving. I've
seen it in one woman who was terribly paranoid (but very intelligent) and she could
come up with some of the most awful attitudes that were so narrow in thinking you
can't imagine. I had to distance myself from it as much as I could.
