Moving this here from another thread so I don’t hijack that thread.

(((DV6))) This is one of the sweetest things I’ve read in the forum or my thread, and one of the nicest things I’ve had directed at me in a long time. Thank you, DV—it really means a lot. I always knew I was different, and I tried to act like it, and I hoped for a different outcome because of that—but clearly, that wasn’t enough.
What I do know, and am beginning to appreciate and understand more about myself, is that when I’m right, and confident and happy, I can be really amazing. And I’ve been feeling that a lot over the last couple of weeks, which is really nice. I hope it sticks.

I know I have miles to go in my sitch, and I’ll have to learn to be happy being alone for a length of time, but if I’m being honest, I hope that someone (W or someone else) will appreciate who I am in time. I know I shouldn’t do things so that I can attract someone else—as I stated earlier, and as AS affirmed, I should want to make myself and my life so awesome and amazing that hopefully someone will want to come along for the ride and complement who I am and what I’m doing, in time.
I appreciate the kind thoughts, and the affirmation that in the long run I’ll be AOK—it is nice to hear, even if there are moments and days where I’m not totally sure if that will be the case. In my heart of hearts, I truly do hope that there is a person out there who will deeply appreciate me and my values. I don’t expect someone to be exactly like me, but I would hope for an approach of ‘do no harm’ at the very least, or better yet some congruence or resonance, with my beliefs and values would be nice.
