Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I don't know about you, but the internet is where my friends live. I don't have the social capacity to make real friends.
But why is it that people take things over the internet so personally? There are such things as misunderstanding what has been written...b/c there is no emotion behind it.
You can't tell sarcasm, jokes, or seriousness over a message. Why do some people get so upset over what may be misconstrued?

It's all peoples' fault!
Because we are "emotional" human beings. How we manage that, is up to us. Finding the capacity to manage it is not easy.
I think many of us rely on the internet for relationships. Thank God for the internet for those people who need it, misunderstandings or not. I think through misunderstanding we learn much also. These are quotes from: Aarti Honrao in his writings on friendship. I think they summarize/impact part of the importance of friendship and misunderstanding. For full transcript see....

Two friends who come out of misunderstanding resemble the gold, which comes out of fire. 'That' gold is more shining and more pure, as impurities die off in fire.
Thus, Misunderstanding is nothing but way to better understanding.
"Friends, successfully coming out of misunderstanding, hand in hand are replaceable and more true in friendship."
"No mind can ever think of any idea to break their friendship. Because of friendly misunderstanding, friends come close to each other, know each other well enough which prevents the recurrence.

I think this is suppose to say "irreplaceable or not replaceable"......
