It's a sensitive topic and not at all my business, but I guess I'm just saying that it's something I would personally investigate if I had observed those things about myself after having known those people.

hmm. thanks. you mean just like an autism/aspergers thing? i was exploring that a lot last summer, and eventually just stopped...caring - cause there isn't a cure so i might as well just try to accept and love myself
usually, you know, the special interest thing is an advantage, cause when i'm in a good mood i love being like hyper-into SP and everything. but it can be frustrating/a nightmare, especially when i'm dealing with addiction shit, and especially when it's about a person [not jimmy]
i'll bring this up in therapy tomorrow
