Thank you for making this post. It's something that I verymuch needed to read right now.

Everything is subjctive.
Which is sort of comforting.

Our communication is coloured by our experience of being ourselves

That's pretty much the big one, yeah. No matter how sincere one's attempts to understand are, it's ultimately filtered through our experience.

And what we have known as insincerity and manipulation in the past will trip the alarm bells in the future.

Thanks for that. I don't have any first hand experience of mental illness so I try to absorb what I can from my friends and family for the purposes of empathy. If I get it wrong please let me know.
