44. No it's just that, because of my disorder, I find I lack a certain tact

And your approach to this has been honest, direct and astute. And it's confused me because of the normal back and forth one experiences online. It was hard to read your emotion through the text and so I was worried I made this conversation abnormal.

I don't ignore people for disagreements. I ignore them for rude attacks on my personal self. So, no this conversation does not tip that needle for me, I was just worried about how I presented myself.

Thank you though!
