This is hard for me and for many with mental illnesses, I do believe. It isnt always about me (sometimes it is though however weird, distressing, scary, "sad", incomprehensible etc it is to me)
I am learning to take things more at face value. Again though, some people unfortunately do have hidden agendas, some of the time. I'm not always right though about who those people are, or exactly what they are doing.
This post is meant in a supportive sense. It's something I've struggled with IRL and on other boards. I currently post on 4 boards although this is my online "home".
Yeah, I know................."get a life bear"

One therapist said that to me once. Nice

Geeze I must be fuzzy
With cordiality (thanks Dr Clay)
Take care,
Fuzzy
