 well i think you said it pretty well...ignorance, self absorbtion, a lack of empathy ..all those and much more. i am amazed at the insensitivity of others sometimes. perhaps, just perhaps, it was a little scary to some of those classmates of yours...like maybe they have thought the same thoughts but are afraid to admit it to themselves.
those of us that have mental health conditions do have more understanding of the suffering of others for the most part i believe because we do live the challenges of our conditions daily.
