Yeah, I remember what it felt like to think I was the only person on the planet who was like this. But when I found out that there were others, they were somehow portrayed as people with some kind of condition. I didn't like that much either. Having a "condition" is bad to me, or at least never seems desirable in the way it is presented.
I think in recent years, with the more open flow of information, it's been a lot easier on me. Not only have I come to terms with myself (and learned to really enjoy my gift), I also see a lot of other cd's who are also very happy with themselves and don't seem to have any "condition" at all.
I guess for me, it wasn't enough to know there were others like this. It was much more meaningful to find other normal people (as in people who do not suffer from some "condition") like this.
I hope that made sense.
