"take H's comments as information rather than a personal attack on my character.."
Ohhh... that's a keeper.. and something that can be applied to more than one situation.
Love you..

PS.. focusing on me makes me quiet. It must be a new way of looking at how I interact. Also that I don't need to talk nonstop, telling stories, monopolizing conversations. Unless of course, you're someone I feel close to and alllll those behaviors come out!
