I've actually been surprised by a number of people who admitted that to me recently.
Mom, Grandma, and I drove to Carrollton Tuesday, cause Grandma loves this particular fabric shop we found there, and will spend hours (and tons of money) in it. Mom and I wandered down to this awesome little knick-knacky store, where, the last time I'd been, I saw a figurine I really, really wanted, of a cat, but didn't have the money then, so I had to check it out and see if they still had the figurine. They did, for $28, which was a bit steep for me, until Mom decided to buy a few things, so I grabbed the one I wanted, and started talking with the lady behind the counter, and, at some point, I told her that I think I'm aging backwards. She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, and you think this because?" So, I told her about the stroke, she gasped a bit and said, "Yeah, I can see how you think that, then."
Wow, really? Most people go, "You're crazy/full of it/whatever," but no, she understood immediately. Plus, I got an awesome figure of a Siamese on a Vespa, in a catsuit, and a pink jacket. I spent the day elated.
A coworker told me the other day that she thought I was "a perfect lady". To which I said, "Of course, but don't tell anyone else, I'd rather not be." So, she said, "Okay, then, I hate you.
"
"Not what I meant, but I'll take it."
And now, she calls me honey. She told me we seem to think alike, outside the box and all. And I said, "I lost the box, I found a dodecahedron, but I'm still thinking outside it."
