it's a bit more complex than I can answer from the options given - I think having a chronic condition filters out how people actually relate to you by their own behaviour, no matter what they say or how they *appear* to behave. With some people it caused issues, with others it has bought us closer, but I think those properties were already part of those relationships - dealing with CLL simply highlighted them.
