I am not saying that insanity is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is definitely not the kind of thing that you reveal immediately, unless, and very narrowly unless, you mix entirely with very bohemian people in whose circles having insanity is considered "de riguer."
But the issue is not, "Maybe I should wait for people to want to come to me, instead of the other way around. " - the issue is your failure to stick to the socially appropriate norms of disclosure of personal information during initial interactions.

I've just had a breakthrough in regard to my illness- I dramatize it and it's a sort of drapetomania. I used to think being unhinged was "cool", but now I realize everyone is "messed-up" in a way, it's just that most people choose to hide their insanity and faults.
Moreover, I think people will accept my foibles if I reveal them gradually.
