Eta: but maybe youre being more honest about your feelings than i am? Idk. I feel embarrassed and put on the spot when someone says something untoward. If im with a group, now people will probably look at me to say something, because thats what i would have done in the past. I think now i would pretend i was daydreaming and didnt hear it. T says he likes when i correct him, but the more he says that, the less i do it.

It' taken me fifty years to learn NOT to correct every mistake I hear.
