Thanks for the rep comment.
I admit it's a difficult conflict between wanting to just lurk and observe and also wanting to contribute without drawing attention to oneself. It's especially conflicting when I feel like I genuinely want attention for what I contribute or when I feel like I do not and simply casually comment or feel like I should comment because of social convention or politeness and that it is nearly impossible to distinguish between the two.
The passive-aggressiveness is equally difficult when considering the paradox of tolerance. Is being intolerant of intolerance itself tolerance or intolerance, eh?
I simply agree that I can be a passive-aggressive attention-whore and try to apologize or shut the hell up from time to time.
I know how you feel though, sometimes we just need to take a break from each other and get some space to recharge ourselves.
Is it okay if I insist on having my mind read from now on?
