I'm an "expression" reader myself. That is how I adjust my speech, mannerism, etc. to the individual I am with. I also get a "feel" for other people by how they speak - what they say or their tones, what they wear (suits v. blue collar). I am very adept at changing quickly. I guess I should say "was."
Since I have been isolated from the world for so long, I do not find it as necessary to "hide" as much in certain situations. I think it's mostly because I don't really give a rat's behind as much as I used to (just getting older, I think, and not so self-conscious as I used to be, which is not always a good thing, but at least I am dealing with the real me most of the time, even if it is embarrassing from time to time).
I was not insulted in the least re: the crap. I knew what you were getting at and I do relate...
No worries!
