[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 374223, member: 9175"] Great advice, guys. I think my biggest problem is my people-pleasing tendancies. When people persist and ask more questions, I feel this strange obligation to answer honestly - and I shouldn't. I'm going to an event on Friday where I am likely to run into dozens of people I haven't seen in awhile. I'm going to work on being light. ps. Trinity, I mastered the light-nonsense response right after DEX left me. DEX and I were both very active in our community and it was not uncommon for us to be at events separately or, often, together but mingling separately. We were the couple nobody ever thought would divorce (including me, actually). I would be at an event and, since most people didn't know he'd left, I would be asked "Where's G?" to which I would respond, lightly, "He's not here" and leave it at that. Nobody ONCE asked a followup question I think the key was my tone. Thanks for reminding me of that. [/QUOTE]
