Wow, you guys are hitting the nail on the head for me. Feeling “out of sync” describes it perfectly and Sean E Bravo, I get the “tone” predicament too. What I hate most is when people answer your Question #1 with “just change your tone”. Grrrr… how do I change something I’m not even aware I’m doing? and certainly its not my intention to put “tone” into everything I say. My mind wanders off very quickly when in social settings and its so exhausting having to use all my energy just to “keep my listening ears on” without the distraction of everything in my environment – especially in crowd situations. Its gotten worse for me too, as I get older. I miss social cues and non-verbal cues. And yet, I can hear the crickets chirp when I’ve said something that once again, wasn’t interpreted correctly. ……aggghhh I give up sometimes! Then, as usual, I try again to fit in, keep up, slow down, be quiet, be nice, just try…and the list goes on. I need extra battery packs Duracell….
