No need to feel embarrassed. You have an illness. Would you be embarrassed if you were in a wheelchair? Probably not. It’s just an illness.

I’m sure you did many good things but normies have other standards, if you don’t have a beautiful wife, a good job, a big car and a new house you are nothing.

True, and they like to make comparison.

Karl, perhaps you can be proud of anything that you are keep doing and not giving up.
The habit of changing jobs and phone number frequently, for instance, might leave negative impression to some.
Are you staying at the same residential area for the past 20 years?

I’m older and ill so have less to lose but i find myself being more open about my illness. let the chips fly and the real friends show up. I had a couple experiences when i opened up to what was happening to me that the other’s understood and felt similar and the conversation flowed and was meaningful, like a catharsis. but i realize it won’t always work that way and not everyone will understand or relate, that’s why i said let the chips fly. I guess that’s when we find out who are our true friends and that’s all i really want at this point.
