    Or an Ursula costume. :rotfl:

    I love this but think it might be too light.

    That's lovely, won't be too tight
    Plus it's a reward for going to work despite hating it.

    Slight change of subject.

    Can anyone suggest a good way to engage with and build up a relationship with someone with antisocial personality disorder?

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    What sort of things are they interested in? You may have some common ground that could start a conversation.


    Or you could ask them to explain something to you that they know a lot about, but you don't.

    This may give you some ideas, elsien. I haven't read it all yet but it is one of the clearest documents I have seen on personality disorders (I only just found it on google). It may not be what you are after though.

    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
  • Maybe ask them how they feel about being diagnosed with a PD, say that you've been chatting online (here!) to people with that diagnosis and are aware how destructive people can find this?????

    I like the ideas of finding some area of common ground (however tenuous it may seem)... but then I guess that works for getting all relationships off the ground.

    Couldn't get to sleep last night as a big to-do list for work was going round and round in my head. Now that I'm actually at work I'm procrastinating like it's an Olympic sport......someone make me do something useful please!

    Tea, do something useful or I'll have Percy cat take a dump in your shoes.

    Now I feel mean.

    Argh, don't encourage him! Ok.... I'll do some work :D

    My boss has just sent me some (beautiful!) photos of his teeny baby. Am genuinely happy for him, just wish that one day I could get to the point of being happy without the side-order of :(:mad::(
