Just look at what i typed quickly - how abhorring, you are so fortunate as a to have some great typing skills!!

I just think - "how would I feel if I read a post like that about ME?"

This is what i always think as well. When i was younger (a teenager, i think) i didn't have that protective ability to wear a mask of "normal" person yet and had some instances of somebody not being nice to me (not too much, just to help me develop). I always remember how i felt and if i meet a person about whom everybody saying "or, they are this and that", it makes me think - "they are not hurting everybody, they are just different. I REMEMBER how that feels" Sometimes i try to over-compensate and be particular nice to this person.
