WhaF**K, BB? Every morning I go to ME you've got a new surprise waiting! There's nothing wrong with your attitude. Just be yourself and stop worrying about how you are seen. If people don't like your style that's their/(our?) problem. Each one of us do it in different ways - for my part, when I find a (new) poster in equal parts interesting and frustrating, I often react by trying different level until I've got the feeling I've got a real connection to him/her. There is no big conspiracy and it's no big deal. Basically, if this place has any kind of value (and I believe that it does), then it's because we can find others here who can help us and accompany us for a while on our "Open Your Eyes" journey.
You're not the only poster here with mental health issues either. Some of our most creative posters can only function as long as their medication is working well. This is - if you will excuse my bluntness - a cop-out. Stop agonising over how you appear and being either grovellingly apologetic or highly pissed over the reactions of others to you and get on with the ideas. It's what you're good at. You've put down some great posts here, including one thread-opener. And the style was part of their greatness, even if that style also brought unusual, unexpected reactions. I see you as someone I would like to have around for a while on my journey. Otherwise I wouldn't bother engaging with you. So, like, get real yet!
