You don't make me uncomfortable. And even if you did, that isn't a good enough reason to bury something that you think is important. The beauty of Babble is that we can reach a wide range of people - *SOMEONE* might understand. So, to edit yourself here because "the masses" don't understand seems counterproductive.
That said, there are things that I don't talk about on Babble because they are met by resounding silence, or by comments that make it clear to me that I wasn't even close to getting my point across. These things I might talk about individually with people, but I do find that after I understand them a little better, I do try to put some of the information on the board - and in doing so I occasionally find one or two people who seem to *get* what I'm talking about - and that is awesome.
I guess that when noone understands me, I figure that it is either because I haven't been able to explain it well (in which case I try to understand it better so I can explain it better), or that I haven't connected yet with the right people (those who have had a similar enough experience to "get it"). It continues to be worth pursuing, though, because in talking about it with other people I can understand these things better myself.
So don't deprive us of your insights, just because *WE* haven't figured out how to understand them yet!
P.S. You used to feel this same way about rational/emotional you... See? Over time we are beginning to understand - give us a chance!
