About the Doorslam: I've resorted to that with...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................several people. Not sure of the exact number. Wasn't easy. In fact, it was brutal for me. I don't think anyone will ever understand why I would go to such lengths, at least--understand it in a way that would be meaningful to me. This facet of my way of thinking goes a long way towards explaining why I don't really care what they think of my 'doorslam'. They wouldn't get it anyway, so why bother worrying about whether they think lowly of me or not?
I think a lot of people don't understand my thought process. I need a lot of time to Understand things. I can know things, but if I don't Understand them in the way that I need to Understand them (in other words, in a way that is meaningful to me and makes sense to my brain) then knowing it means nothing to me and I can't make head nor tail of it. When I have those moments of Understanding, then I KNOW. Until then, it's useless. Other people don't get it and never will, and I cannot care. That's just the way it is for me, and I make zero apologies for it.
