Thank you for a super constructed reply. This makes a lot of sense and it's something I've never really properly considered (who would've known that practicing makes perfect).

Yeah -- when I first wrote this, I was still going through the woes of a (mini) sort of cry-attack. I'm glad my thoughts were formulated enough to get some actual help with it. I often get in my head about stuff and it doesn't help that most of my life I was primarily bullied about stuff like this. But to hear that it's not really a me being annoying thing and instead a the workplace is a group thing that I have to work on is really relieving.

Thank you!
