Do you know why you say that? Do you think we will be offended or bothered?
I suspect that your reaction will be "Oh, I shouldn't say that anymore", but the goal of my intervention is not to "teach" you how to write on these boards, which seems to be how you've taken some of the advice you've received (it does not surprise me). It's about making you think about your personality traits and ultimately how it got you where you are today. Most likely, it feels so natural to you that you're not aware of it. It has worked with you so far and it has become your nature.
Here's a little joke that I heard from David Foster Wallace:
"There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, "Morning, boys, how's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, "What the hell is water?""
See what I mean about your communication? They are a reflection of how you think, of how you wish to interact with others, how you want others to react to you. It tells me that you try to appear as a very nice guy, one who doesn't want to be a bother, who's polite and a quick study. You probably read this sentence and think: "Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I wish you'd get started on NMMNG right away.
Sorry, I forgot (following too many people): are you seeing a therapist?
