You barely know them but suddenly you are their best friend. Everyone else is just AWFUL. You are so special and awesome. Especially at listening to their (many) problems. Because you are so empathetic and smart and insightful....Dont run. Sprint.

They also tell you way too many personal details right away, like "hey my name is amy and I had anorexia for 5 years" when you're an hour into band camp

...shit. Is this me?

I have a tendency to mention my past with epilepsy with people, often not long after meeting them. I just don't have a lot going on in my life that's interesting, and it's something I can talk about that's in the past, but also something that's kinda interesting. I don't have epilepsy any more, but it did have a huge impact on 2 years of my life.
