I try to think the best of people. So whatever paranoia I develop I blame on myself. I don't intend to, but I separate myself from people-maybe it's my difference. Me, an original. So, I do understand the sentiments what you posted. I try not to overdo anything-not too needy, express myself as concisely as possible, so I have more time to read other posts. In the chat room, I have often come into a room and not really known the flow of the chat, that's when I feel awkward. I feel awkward using whisper or private conversation that I try to carry on two or three conversations at the same time.
