Yes, definitely, I've not fit in, I'm not capable of it, at times it would be handy, but much of what most people seem to enjoy, or value, well, it's like a road map I can't read.
Fortunately I've for the most part had the confidence to not really be bothered by it.
What crushes me though, is that in the work I've done, I see so many people who are truly wonderful take their diagnoses to heart, and strive so hard to be different than who they are, to please a Dr. or a Psychiatrist who is in many cases just a person with more power.
It keeps them from being able to make the best of themselves.I had two wonderful psychiatrists, but also some who were ridiculous. (No doubt they'd see that as some sort of personality disorder on my part) but because I'd had the good ones, I was able to see it for what it w as.
I have stories, but they are too long to get into here.I hurt for people who don't know the difference, who don't have the confidence to disagree, and really believe that they are marked, or flawed because they aren't able to balance the information.
I think that's why websites like this are so powerful, and can be so beneficial.
Whew..
I hope I didn't go on for too long..
Do you mind not fitting in?
> PS - I've never really "fit in", I don't even know what it is ;-)
