I have had the same experience in telling people. Some times though I get surprising results. While I am not ashamed or embarrassed that I have it, I don't advertise it either. Guess after years being the way I am and not knowing, just knowing something was not right, and only recently finding out, guess it does not matter to me one way or another.

I usually will tell people that haven't seen me for a while, and they say wow what happened everything was going extremely well for you, that I will say. And then they go 'Ohhh, yeah can see how that can do it to ya.' But then like you, they walk away and don't even wave as they pass ya by but look the other way.

Guess in my way of thinking, rather recently, I have a gift and a curse. When I am feeling at least semi-normal or calm I really enjoy it and don't take it for granted.
