Oh YES! I've experienced this. And even as I talk to them, I can see them gather the patience they need. It's one of the reasons that it's often better coming here and letting it out. I don't have as much a need to vent in my immediate world.

It also makes hearing others stories so much easier. When we met, you tried to apologize for talking so much, but honestly it was an easy thing for me to listen for a change, and then of course I did talk my share.

"Oh good! I'm not crazy" pretty much sums it up.
