I wouldn't say this solution was elegant ... but now he's a little more careful when he talks to me ;-)haha... yeah... when you feel good about yourself people tend to treat you with respect.... but then at that point it doesn't really matter because you have confidence and aren't too sensitive to what they say :)

> this really thrills me. I have had the same thought ! I think also that mental illness make you more empthatic toward 'week' people ... you have been there so you can understand them ... maybe mental illness makes you left-oriented ;-)yeah... of course this works best when you have actually managed to cure yourself :)
left-oriented? you mean left brained, like analytical and good at languages ?? :)
hmmm... can i say i can speak 14 languages if i only know about 30 words in each? :)
<goes off on wild tangent> ..... yeah how can you go through life without knowing how to say "hey what's up?" in EVERY language?
