Opening up about this disorder has to be in small doses. To preserve frienships I try to talk to people on my best days.

Even this has met with some resistance from the few people that meet me and like me and think I am going to be able to sustain a normal whenever you feel like calling friendship. Which I cannot.

However at least I am doing better socially with this approach
