You are right on the money gforcewarp9. Thank you for bringing us back to earth and back to not taking ourselves so seriously. I, like you, started out as the quiet easily bullied type, although I got lucky by growing to my full height by sixth grade. That made me too big and intimidating at the time but since I was done growing they all caught up to me by High School. Luckily for me, by high school I had gotten over my shyness and MY larger than life, rather charming persona 
came out. That and I started singing in a band.
Still, in later years, when I started getting more interested in intellectual topics and philosophy I started finding myself hardly able to stand plain old regular conversation. Since my ADD prevented me from completing college I didn’t really have a way in to the crowds who wanted to talk about the crazy stuff like me. My friends drop away one by one until one day I realized I had none. To cut to the end, it all worked out and I lived happily ever after.
Thanks again for reigning us in from the downer talk. When I created this topic it was intended to be taken in a light-hearted way as I’m sure you can see if you’ve read the original post. That being said, it’s a painful subject for some and I certainly don’t want to discourage anyone from posting about painful experiences. We’re all here to help each other. But balance is nice isn’t it?
