So Rude! I don't know, sorry.

 I guess I make people feel dumb sometimes. Or maybe I make them feel ignorant-- something like that. I'm trying to decide how I feel about this. I think people fail to realize that this is never ever my intention; often the opposite, in fact. Obviously I need to think more before I speak. I haven't had much practice in this field.
 A good portion of my life was spent with such a negative belittling point of view. As my paradigms realigned my views of myself and the world, respectively, changed. I was not who I how I thought I was. I'm not sure exactly what I thought then, nor do I know currently-- this is surely part of the problem.
 I try my best not to compare my intellect to that of others, and this sort of causes me to insult people's intelligence, I suppose. I think I'll try harder to evaluate myself and be more respectful of other human thought patterns. I thought I was doing a good job, but apparently I can be mean, and come off as a know-it-all. This bothers me a lot, because, as mentioned, this is not my intention. 
 I wish I could better distinguish between what people consider facts and all of my knowledge. I'm not even sure how I retain so much, and I really need to do a practice retaining and expounding information more carefully. I'm going to try to think along the lines of soup questions. I'm still not sure if this a problem with information or knowledge.. or perspective..

I mean, maybe people shouldn't take things so personally? Since I can't ask this, I'll just keep trying to figure out what my problem is in the exact, and what my modes of action should be.
Sorry.

I was going to say "but Albert Fish doesn't?" but I don't know why, I suppose it was the word psycho that reminded me of him =P

This will sound completely hypocritical given that I have an ED lol, BUT I shall say it anyway.

I don't think you should be less rude to others, they only find you rude because they think in cliches/recited thoughts society has taught them. Being rude, and elaborate = FTW. Makes people think. Also there's no need to shave/mold yourself into the box/square/circle/hexagon/octagon society has said is the right shape (this is the part I said might sound hypocritical).

Be Easy.

@Crown_without_a_king - 

I don't know what people really think-- I only know what they tell me. I'm not going to disregard people's feelings because I refuse to fit into some imaginary molding. One may think it's enough to think highly of yourself, but the impression one makes on the world is probably more important. And I'm not only talking about how people see me, I'm talking about how I treat myself and how the universe reacts. This is just as much about me as it is other people. It's about respect. If I really love and respect myself, then I will more readily love and respect everything and everyone else.

That's why eating disorders scare me. I find the utmost disrespect of one's body in such things and I can't help but wonder how they could one respect anything in the universe if he or she can't even take decent care of his or her body with which one exists in the universe. I shudder to consider the feelings someone with an eating disorder has of themselves. What must you think of the universe if you're trying to close your body off to it?

I shape myself because I love myself.

So you're hunkering down that way when your karma comes around, it's good?
It is my belief if you wish to truly not hurt others feelings, that it be done from a place of selflessness, not for what you get back in return. I agree you can only love others as much as you love yourself. But I think by tip-toeing around, not hurting others feelings, gets very old. Facades only last for so long, and said Karma comes back with a nice appearance but a different motive underneath. A motive not as genuine as the face. If it is your belief that you honestly can & will love others from a place of selflessness than you will. You are not hurting anyone by expanding their knowledge or making them think in other ways they're not accustomed to. In fact I believe you are aiding them by expanding their perspective.
Nelson Mandela once said something along the lines of it's no use hindering your own light so you don't outshine others, and I believe that. People find others rude (granted there are some genuine assholes out there, but you don't seem like one of them) because they do not understand them, they feel outsmarted, etc. Yet, it will not be beneficial to them if you always refrain from saying what it is you believe.
I agree you should (not because of your response to what I said but because I believe everyone should in general) gather your thoughts & assess said person before you reply.

If you have read "Echoes of the Soul" by Echo Bodine, that book founded my beliefs on spirituality & the universe. It's a short read I'm sure if you wanted you could read it at the book store. I'm far too lay to explain it all lol.

My eating disorder doesn't hinder my ability to love others. For me, I don't hate myself. I have "recovered", I am currently in a relapse due to outside stress. It's just something I deal with. I don't hate others, and be like "oh she's fat I hate her". I don't see others for their flaws. I know I have flaws, everyone has flaws. I'm far less judgmental than most people I know, and I'm very empathetic towards others & their lives. What I deal with, and whatever I put myself through is entirely my choice. If you ever read that book, you will certainly understand my perspective, if you don't want to it's fine just know I see things differently than you do.
