I wonder if it it my bipolar disorder that is to blame for this lifelong problem I have had being understood by anyone ... anyone at all.  I call it living in "Three's Company" ... I say black, they hear white.  I say rain (and I always say rain), they hear sun.  I have spent the past few weeks e-flirting with a guy on Facebook only to find out from my best friend that he thought I was a lesbian.  Most men actually do.  Is my mania so horrifically dominant that I cannt attract a man because I am thought of as too masculine to appreciate it?  I am blonde, blue-eyed, petite and have large breasts and a decent body.  I accessorize.  I am quite feminine, yet they hear, "Hello, MAN!  I HATE men!  Fuck off!" and I get nowhere.  This is not only true of men but of everyone else as well.  No one ever understands a word I say, so I just get quiet, and then I get nowhere at all.  Is this a depression moment I am feeling here, or am I just a misunderstood bipolar girl who will never have sex again?
