Oh sunblossom I certainly know where you are coming from feeling alone in a conversation like that. It is very disconcerting when it occurs.

I have sat through uncomfortable exchanges where it seemed people were talking around or over me. Since it was drilled into me as a child to be seen and not heard, I don't tend to stand up for myself when this takes place.

But I hear you and I appreciate what you say
