> JamesNothing is wrong with having mentally ill friends, but I think it is unusual to say "all" my friends are mentally ill. And I wondered if that affected your perspective, since at times you can be very harsh and judgmental. Maybe having a mixture of friends, some who are not mentally ill might give you a broader perspective. Perhaps friends who are not mentally ill would be more apt to confront you when your empathy (meaning here ability to see others' views) is blocked.
For what it's worth, it has seemed to me on the board that you will continue to cling to your point of view, even when facts have disproved it.
If you weren't such a bright guy with so much to offer, I probably wouldn't even have noticed.
Anyway, it's just my point of view. ShelliR
