Well, I agree, I used to hide too, 'cos I need my space often, to stay alone with myself, doing things in silence but.. this is another case, he is more than friend and he doesn't do anything in SL besides talking with me, as he used to say, so that's why I'm upset and confused...
I see. I was just confused because I'm introvert and shy a bit and the forum is more kind of RL for me and more difficult than SL, I'm more open there - weird I know..
But Rhonda's post makes me think that Forum is much better because of time zone and limited time problems...
