I didn't feel that the comment was irrelevant to the thread, actually. I just wanted to understand what it meant, that's all.

(sorry if spelled wrong, btw), I originally typed "prison food?" As a way of asking you what you meant by that. But I don't think you were online, so when Mal said she understood it, I wanted her to tell me what she thought it meant. And I don't think it was hijacking at all. I think it was discussion about something you said, and how it applies to me and my question. I think it was all very appropriate, although we have all collectively started to go in another direction now! lol! (Myself included) Anyway, thanks for your input on my thread. I appreciated your overall message, and what you had to contribute.

You are all sweethearts, and I appreciate your kinds words to me. In truth, I was not looking for validation, although I do feel like that was mostly what I got. And I really wasn't looking for confidence in being who I am. I was looking for feedback about whether or not I seemed to be better at getting to know other people than at letting them get to know me. That is a pattern I have identified in myself, and others (including my T, btw) have pointed out, and I wondered how I was doing with that here. I do appreciate your reassurances, though, and the spirit in which you offer them.

Thanks everyone, didn't mean to cause such a stir! lol!
