Ever feel muted? Not "by" anyone. Nobody did anything or said anything to make you feel you could not or should not talk. You just simply feel nobody really wants to hear you anyway?

I have had a really good couple of days - yet, this is how I feel.

I don't understand it.

I don’t understand it either but yes, I do feel sometimes that nobody really wants to hear me. It’s not a good feeling. I’m sorry you are feeling that way.

Reading that back - it sounds kind of dry. I sincerely apologize. The caring is there and I hope you are okay.

For a good part of my life, yes. I had a lot of trouble fitting in for a long time after my mom across the county. I understand the feeling of no one wanting to hear you.

Really glad you've had some good days

You seem very good with words, C. I'm surprised you have this problem

Yes, quite often. But also I just don't want to talk and I'm deliberately aloof and tune everything out.

I don't understand though, do you feel bad for being that way? I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Just the way some people are.

No - you were fine. You validated me. That's why I said "thank you".

Sorry if I came across unfeeling. As I said, I just am not quite thinking as usual. It's odd.

This is just a "different" feeling for me. And it isn't me tuning things out. Even when I may have advice, there are many times I choose not to talk for fear it is unwanted for me to say anything. Even if I have never had issues with the person.

Like I said - its just odd.
