why is talking so emotionally and energetically expensive?

i know german:) mais je suis un ami:)

Just as a matter of interest, why would you not be a friend, just because you speak German?  Surely linguistic skills are morally neutral, rather than indicators of attitude or amicability.  I hope so, anyway.

I found that the simple act of speaking intimately in front of other human beings without my world falling in was hugely confidence inspiring.
I hope to find another group before too long.

Hello Munsterlander,
this phrase describes what I have felt from being on this forum.  I have spoken truths I could not speak elsewhere and the sun still came up the next day!
In fact, people here were able to shed light on areas I might never have seen.  This forum is my group and I'm glad I found it (you too!).
