This is a good insight. I have the same problem, I either overwhelm people (since high school!) or I am perceived as distant and cold. So PC gives me good practice on 1. Selecting the kind of people I can understand by reading many many posts and then 2. Learning how to be a supportive understanding friend. But 3. Knowing when it's okay to confront someone more honestly or be more direct. Also you start to feel like part of the PC community as a whole. For example even tho you and I haven't spoken recently, I remember you and can see the IncredIble progress you have made.
