wonderful post - much as I wouldn't trade rl interactions with people for anything, I love how the net allows those of us who think a lot to feel not so alone. I used to envy peeps who blithely go about their business, who've criticized me for overthinking things.

those of us sensitive folk have areas of thought that we lean more toward. I'm animal lover, so there's all that's attached with that. I also have a low threshold for pain, so there's wanting to keep healthy & loving how we're in the age of stuff that tracks blood sugar & such, in ways that give me quick important info that can help teach & motivate me. Comfort, though, when it comes to technology, is indeed capitalism's trick to recruits even the most virtuous of us...

Oooh, how the mind can go wild on these things. another of kryptonite is hating when friends make me feel bad for speaking up, & say I'm too fussy for wanting to educate myself when it comes to poor customer &/or patient service.

also, likely because I was raised in a religion that isn't persecuted and my dearest was raised where freedom to not be religious was forbidden, I'm especially creeped out by bible thumpers who I help from judging as zombie-like non-examiners of life. or maybe I'm just in a bad mood because a 'friend' yesterday took me out for my b-dy & 'sneakily' attempted to convert me yet again...

anywhoo, good post again, Oleg - you said it a lot more concisely than I have here
