I don't want to sound mean, I will try and say this as nicely as I can, but sometimes when I go into chat I would like to be asked how I am, especially in Support. People don't seem to say 'how are you' to anyone anymore, and when I go into support chat I usually have a reason to be in there. When people just say hello and keep chatting away, it's very hard to jump in and say 'okay I'm feeling a little dodgy right now, I need to talk'. So I just sit there and wait for the chance, because it's very difficult to ask for help or to vent something, and then I end up just logging out feeling worse than before. And because of this, I feel as though nobody has an interest in how I feel, and I keep it all to myself. It becomes increasingly harder to try and talk about things because it gives the impression I should forget about thinking anybody has remote interest in how things are for me lately.
I'm sorry if I'm sounding a little dramatic right now, I just think that people should ask how others are in chat when they enter, at least in Support. Not for me but for others too.

Thanks
