justy, you have nothing to be sorry for...I am sorry that you didn't get a response when you were in chat. It was not you at all. For some reason, chat was very quiet last night, even though there were people there.
I know how hard it is to not take things like that personally, but there are lots of reasons people might not be talking...they might have stepped away from the computer briefly, they might be looking at something in another window and not noticed that someone had said something (what I was guilty of last night), or they might just not really be up to talking, but want to be in chat just to not feel so alone.
I hope you don't give up on chat...and I promise I'll keep a better eye out for you if you come back.
*hugs*
