Thanks, Toph. I'm taking this all in, but I'm not really all that up to talking about my character flaws, what they mean, and so on here. Maybe not at all. But here is definitely not a safe place, unfortunately. I recall fondly that afternoon in Chicago. And it's because of that experience, and what it means to me that I care about your comments.
About all I can say is that in person it's different. You get so much more than just words on a page. Okydoky highlighted Kali Munro's stuff about interactions online in a post somewhere around here, and I think a lot of that applies.
Maybe someday we can have that dialog we've talked about. It's just not an easy subject, and I guess I need to make hay while I'm doing okay versus when I'm struggling with high sensitivity.
Maybe when we do talk about it, you can tell me what about it seems so, something, upsetting or something?
At any rate, thanks for taking the time to express your reactions. At the very least, it means that something about me means something, even if it's not positive.
Damn.
