Thanks! Awesome stuff!

KathyM, you made me laff with your suggestion! I've definitely though of going the town clown route, but it does leave the more persistent people that can't take a hint. Haha.

Spondiferous, thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to let you know, whenever I end up in such a sitch. :P

Shattered Sanity, I've probably done that, too. :\

Perna, that's something along the lines of what my dad suggested, I think. I don't know why I have such an issue with lying like that; I guess it's because I know that it can get messy if I keep going around lying to people. I'm a pretty honest person, TBH. :P You're right though; if someone is rude about it, the point of this thread becomes moot, as I'd rather worry about something that affects my interaction with a decent human being. :P

All, I'm just worried I'll be judged, which I guess is silly, because I suppose we all judge to a point, but if I can limit this, then that would be a bonus. I don't want to scare people off because they think I'm batshizz crazy and plan on digging their brains out with a rusty spoon when they ain't lookin'. lol I just want to be given a chance. :\ I might be fudged up, but I'm still human. I also want to avoid people feeling uncomfortable around me, like how I can be uncomfortable around some people with clear disabilities, such as those in a wheelchair. I try to treat such people as I would any other, but how I feel, is awkward and paranoid that I'm doing or saying something wrong, and I get a flood of thoughts about it, which I hate, but then again, I get that about a lot of things; maybe it's my Pure-O and self-doubt? Who knows. I think there's probably a lot of irony at me having said that after creating this thread.

*prepares a rusty spoon* BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINS!
