ish, I just read your post on another thread (in the meantime) and just wanted to drop in because you sound so much like me - the part that really caught my eye was the 'kind hearted but wouldn't be considered sweet' - made me laugh!
I am one of the most tender-hearted people I know - children and animals love me and I go out of my way to avoid killing things - I move the worms when I'm digging in the garden! My interactions with other adults are a totally different thing, though - I'm much too serious and intense for most people.
You're doing really well. Take care of yourself and continue to value your 'uniqueness'!
