[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I took away from the conversation that, because I tend to not join in on the husband harping or child whining (or child bragging), that I appear to be acting as though I'm above that (?! I mean, they're right, I don't join in but not because I'm above it -- mainly I'm just listening to what they say.  I also feel it's unfair to rag on my husband to others, so I try not to do it...).  I guess they think that I don't find them interesting so they get self-conscious???  [/quote]
I know people like you. If everyone else in the group is talking about husbands or children but you are the one person listening without responding, I would interpret this as a) you don't have anything interesting to add--maybe you're dull; b) you think the conversation isn't interesting--maybe you think I'm dull; or c) you are judging us for "husband harping or child whining (or child bragging)". [/quote]

And here we have the perfect example of two people who should not attempt a friendship.  I am more like the 'people you know' and sadly, I meet mostly women who think like you and I hate it.  There is no way that we can have a meaningful relationship because, no matter what, you find fault with what I deem the poster's noble attitude.[/quote]
