Well, at least two gifts that I can identify so far: that of amazing photographer and also incredible writer. But mostly, for me it has been a speech with which I readily identify at this point in my life.
I have always felt "by-polar", too, only in the last few years the downs are crowding out the ups. By reading in this site, I believe I could be somewhat empathic, but it does not change the fact that I have excessive emotional reactions to others and need to "crawl back into my cave", as you so well put it, after any exhausting encounter. I recently discovered I can get this same effect even online: and me thinking this was an easier mode of communication for me...!
I do have an understanding companion and I guess it makes the whole difference. But if I have one, then you will soon have one, too, because you can just about imagine my social abilities
The main point I wanted to make is that it is a pleasure to read you (if you blog, I will follow it like mad: it would be like reading a good book) and that I hope you will pm me whenever you feel like peeking out of the cave a little. I promise to be as unobtrusive as I would hope for myself.
And of course you are entitled to as many hugs as you wish!
