@Blitter2014:

Wow, you are a marvel! Thanks for the encouragement regarding writing from the heart. I think that is why my property manager was so warm, and loving in her last message, after i disclosed that i have hypergraphia due to disability.

Apparently, i sent them nineteen (19) emails on Sunday, and she was very gracious about explaining that this is an unmanageable amount on a weekend, when only emergency emails are responded to. She didn't say anything about being annoyed, or irritated, just that the volume of emails on a weekend day impeded their work.

I think she DOES have a good vibe from me, from all of my emails on the bodega project, so while neither project i tried to do with management were successful, i feel i have built relationships, and engendered good will.

I am so happy that my disclosure of disability was met with compassion, and sensitivity. The property manager said to let her know if i needed her support, and i am just so moved, as she is the owner/operator of a large property management corporation, and her voice sounds very young, and she is frenetically busy, so i feel respected that she took the time to respond to me in such a welcoming, supportive way, and invite further contact.

Not everyone responds to my hypergraphia this way. She is surely a gem compared to our other property managers, one of who was a crook, and the other just a living nightmare to deal with. So glad we have a compassionate, professional property management team at long last.

Yeah, i enjoy the power to make people laugh too. Laughter is the best medicine. It puts people at ease, and sets the tone for a good rapport. I found on the weekend i was too busy to observe pleasantries with building staff, and i'm sure that's what led to his belligerence, cussing me out. If i had only taken a moment to ask him how he was, the whole ugly incident could have been avoided.

I also note that it is a mistake to speak in my normal rapid-fire pace, except with young people, who are as quick as i am. I have to slow down to a snail's pace with neighbors who are seniors, and pantomime my words out, as they are often visually- and aurally-impaired. It's also necessary to pronounce words slowly, and clearly, as some of them assist themselves by focussing on my mouth and lip-reading. It's also important to do all of these methods with people whose first language is not English.

It's not much fun for me tho. It can be maddening, trying on my patience, and frustrating. I much prefer to associate with the quick youngsters who can keep up with me, but alas, they are so frenetically busy with doing advanced university degrees, and working to finance their education, that they simply don't have time for me.

So i end up associating with a lot of seniors who can be quite tiresome, in context, and content of communication, as a lot of them are Islamophobic, and just generally racist, and very backwards, and like to play Devil's Advocate a lot, and to struggle with me for power, as they feel entitled due to their being older than me.

So all this makes for a very unpleasant experience with my neighbors and i must resist engaging with them for my own health. I will sign up for more ZOOM social events with one of my IRL support groups right after this, as i am available in the daytime only now, due to doing light-deprivation therapy from 5:00pm to 7:00am, and that means NO SCREENS either. Still only got my typical three hours sleep last night, but feel fine, tho a daze does wash over me every twenty minutes or so.

Nice to meet you, Blitter2014. I look forward to getting to know you. What is the story behind your screen name?
