You argue from your mind that indeed seems like a clever one and I am glad you don't seem to take offense.

Some people seem to need you to be someone who gives up. Why? So they can feel better about themselves I assume! And I am glad you are setting them straight by saying you do not give up. Accepting you will never be fully normal is not defeat I think. I hope you can get as good as you ever can get. You are living and breathing and posting things that make sense. That in itself has value.

For some reason that is seen as a threat for some people. That really proves to me I'm not wrong in treading carefully, you can find negative people everywhere, the worst kind are those who claim they are so positive, and in their next breath they put someone down.

Good on you for stating your point and standing your ground!
