5sides you are close to the mark picking up on my focus on gifting. Gifting involves social interactions and this chat is supposed to be a part of my therapy. You see, I suffer from PTSD from some awful traumas which is made worse because I also have vertigo attacks from menieres and idiopathic Vtach. Briefly this has caused me to become agoraphobic and have a fear of social interactions. Playing a game with some social element was helping me come out of my shell so I thought I would brave chatting with real people.

Judging from the negative feedback I am getting, I must have more work to do to help me do better in social situations. It is probably best if I drop out of this chat for a while. I'll go over my posts with my therapist and maybe I can learn what I am doing wrong. I keep getting panic attacks but I kept trying because it is like working a muscle. You have to exercise it to overcome a phobia.

I apologize again to everyone for subjecting you to my bumbling attempts to socialize. I am so sorry for upsetting you with my comments.
