icon: "progressing (a deeply, vividly green forest of thick vines and trees, with a tunnel running through where unused train tracks lay)"I'm gonna attempt to write more often and to bolster this effort, I'm gonna try to write daily summaries if I don't already have something else written. I hope that this doesn't make my LJ boring or make people

I've been thinking heavily about last night too, about the questions, about how I could have expanded my answers, how open everyone was. I think I was nervous at the beginning through fear that others would tire of me and the interruptions/breaking the flow I was causing through my lack of voice [also I meant to think up some questions beforehand but didn't, so I was flying by the seat of my pants]. Even though I realised I was living a slightly 2D experience rather than 3D it increased my desire to take part again, maybe even to purchase a headset!

I loved everyone's voices! Also last night I wanted to ask the cat's name [I just love hearing what people have named their animals, for some reason] so I'm glad you told us here.

Whenever someone gets frustrated with technological difficulties I feel guilty for some reason I don't quite understand.

If you feel that way when you initiate the chat, it could be because you feel responsible for it, because it's kind of because of you that that person is frustrated. Even though this logic is kind of flawed: it is not like you are organizing a conference, and your netbook breaks down in the middle of a presentation.

Ugh. By conference I mean a larger event with invited speakers, that kind of thing, where the organizers are kind of expected to provide a somewhat flawless environment.

I wanted to join this chat but I had work. :( I am sooo down to open my cam too.

"Also, I was thinking about autism and how it's looked at as a dysfunction, but I could see how it could be an evolutionary adaptation to an environment that is unacceptably busy and fake. Perhaps our species is evolving to be less prone to / capable of this capitalist bullshit because it's terrible for everyone. Or maybe I'm just universalizing my own feeling of increased safety around people on the autism spectrum."

This.

I think it's natural to have frustration when someone else is having technological difficulties, as you can't see things from their vantage point and it makes it difficult to help them through it. For those with a giving nature, it's natural to feel guilty that it's difficult to assist.

I've found the Truth-or-Truth sessions to be highly refreshing and helpful in self discovery and blessed to be a part of them!

Something I had meant to add about the resting face expressions but got sidetracked (as happens to me so easily)... I have worked in customer service for decades, so have noticed that I almost have a constant pleasant expression on my face. It's times that I am not focusing on presenting the pleasant and open expression that I have people approach me and ask me what's wrong and why am I angry? Each time it's because I'm in super deep thought about something, and it's never anything negative at the time.

Do you like coffee?? I love to brew coffee and let it sit in the fridge over night. In the morning I put coffee, vanilla almond milk & a scoop of chocolate whey protein in the blender and it's delicious!
