Would it help if I said I'm not very surprised with it being among your dxs? Consider yourself validated. I've known people who have borderline and exhibit the stereotypical behaviors that it seems they're basing their starements on. I also know my BF. More than anyone. And can tell you that people would never suspect he was either. But I see sides of him others have not. Or not the full range by any stretch. Blah, blah, blah. Point is, it's all too easy to misjudge it.

I've got an appt today with someone I've never met. Very nervous. Same kind of thing where I just don't know how it will go. What to expect. How he will be. How things will be asked. Etc. (And my hair is freshly dyed purple. Hope that's not a problem. )

Sorry this is not very organized (wanted to pick up another quote, can't remember which and am on bus, lol.)
