I'm feeling very insecure on PC and IRL. I'm beginning to think I'm a huge wet blanket that kills conversation. If I go to a therapy group or post on a thread, I seem to stop traffic.

I'm thinking maybe I over-tell or dump on people. I was so alone and isolated for so long, maybe the pendulum has swung too far? I feel like I'm "too much" for even the therapy world (tho not with my T).

I've asked for feedback about this at work - about how I am perceived when I'm in a group setting. Maybe I'm too bossy or demanding or a know it all?

All thoughts welcomed

I haven't really seen many of your posts, but I am sure you aren't a thread-killer. There are a lot of reasons why threads end up dropped down, but I really don't think it's ever the result of just ne person!

I'm sorry that you're feeling that way

I haven't seen you being a wet blanket, threads don't die out with one post they wane away if there's little interest in the title subject usually. Well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

I agree, I think it is the title that sparks interest. And I'm not very good with catchy titles, either. Hope you get better response as you continue to post.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
