honestly so many times I have done well only to find out or conclude that I haven't done well after all, I may have come off fake, not been myself though I held conversation and got all the scripts right, revealed to much and later had it come back to bite me, whatever, that I have reservations about having good feelings about having socialized. Most of the time I have a feeling of 'well, glad that's over, hope I don't end up regretting anything I said or did'.

exactly, and to top it off; for us...if you're actually gonna go the route of "mimicking" everything to fake it perfectly, it's all gotta go "according to plan"; if one variable changes, yer screwed.

Oh btw, the variable virtually always changes somehow!

It's why I don't waste time with the social thing, and just do my thing! :lol:
