I, too, could have written this. Yes, I think we depressives and manic depressives are odd. Your posts make perfect sense to me, but then I imagine we're somewhat similar.
I loved your post around Halloween about being a knight instead of a princess because they had all the fun. Would some people find that odd? Probably.
I have learned to ask other people a lot about themselves in social situations, and to avoid politics, religion, etc. except with really good friends. For one thing, we tend to be more intelligent than others and that may make some people uncomfortable. (Being bold and bragging for once. ;))
And think how a non-creative person sees a creative one - we must seem loony. "I can feel the air" or "Look at all the pretty colors." ;)
I have found that I do not connect with many people. Sometimes this makes me sad and lonely. But the people I do connect with usually become lifelong friends.
Just be you, and if you're caught in an uncomfortable social situation, I would just be quiet and observe. And tell your husband to lighten up!
