LOL, Brian
I have come to the conclusion that I'm just not good at chat. I've been going in a few times lately, and people are polite, and acknowledge my presence, but are usually already in another conversation and I just listen mostly.
Sometimes people really ARE discussing some deep problem, and if I can offer insights, I do, but for the most part, chat, for me at least, is a place for casual conversation, and I don't seem to be good at joining in. This isn't a bad thing, nor do I feel ignored, but there does seem to be a lack of substance in it, and I have nothing to offer. I am thinking it's an age thing also. And what's the point!?
