If you are going to be as annoying to your friends as I am you had best be kind. I have been blessed by a group of friends that accepts my quirks as a challenge as opposed to feeling the need to toss me through a window (which by the way I would understand as quite often I roll my eyes at myself when I am speaking).
I am a lot of work for normal people to deal with. My friends are proof to me there is a God.
My sense of myself is that I am a dilapidated house with an incredibly strong foundation that only a few people can see.
