| I would not say I am afraid of them on a conscious logical level, but on a deeper level I find them very grating and obnoxious, I live in a place full of bikers in my town and some days during the summer months the bike sounds plus the sound of trains going by can cause me to melt down on a bad day. |

| When I am a bit depressed sometimes I play a lot of games, usually though if I hit what I like to think of as my rock bottom depressed state I don't play video games, I can't because I zone out too much and loose interest, I loose interest in most things and resort to sleeping a lot; so for me this ... |

| I believe M.S can do this a few ways, one leave it mostly up to the people who are already working on it, and advertise it better - maybe offer interesting or new options for money without removing/charging for any options users already have. Or they can try to milk it for all it's worth in terrible... |

| I'm terrible at this, I never know when to end a conversation and I've tried most of the things people suggest in this thread and it still never looks like I said the right thing to the person, saying goodbye is awkward enough but it's even more awkward when you can't read people at all. |
