Your negative attitude is not the problem, Friede: It's
your often borderline insulting remarks that bugs many here. Nobody's
perfect, me first, but I sometimes wonder what is the reason for your
heavy hand?

My two cents.

I never insulted anyone here
but have been really insulted here once, which led to Jean and me not
visiting this site for about a year. My Asperger syndrome (a mild form
of autism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome;
the part about the restrictive behavior pattern and interests is not
true for me though, and neither is it for Jean, who has this syndrome as
well, which is perhaps what attracted us to each other when we met; we
felt we finally had met a likewise soul).

I probably acquired the syndrome because I was in hospital for a long time when I was between two and three years old (which is when kids learn their communication skills). Jean probably acquired hers because as a kid she used to be stoned all the time due to all the sweet smoke in the house (her parents were hippies).

I do for example have
the odd behaviour of humming little tunes, just 3-6 notes, between
sentences. Jean on the other hand rarely looks people into the eyes when
she speaks to them; she looks over one of their shoulders as if she
sees something extremely interesting in the distance; thankfully we both
managed to no longer have these habits with each other.

Believe
me, our first meeting  was very odd (we actually had two first meetings,
but that's a complicated story. Only the second meeting was téte-à-téte
though; the first meeting was in a group).

We two are definitely an odd couple - two lesbians with Asperger syndrome and alopecia universalis.

So
if anyone ever feels affronted by me (once again, I never used a direct
insult) I apologize. Communicating is a difficult skill, especially for
me, and online it is even more difficult. I learned to interpret the
little visual and audible signs in direct communication meanwhile,
though I am definitely not as good at that as most other people. But
without these signs I am completely at bay. It is definitely not
intended.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Have a nice day, Friede.
