Been there, the same as you. I was the quiet girl, too, and often what I said was glossed-over, ignored, or derided. So, I often said nothing. I noticed, too, that many would jump-to-conclusions halfway through what I was saying, and took the conversation in a totally different direction. Very frustrating. 😬 But you are definitely not worthless — you are a bright, fascinating young woman and I like reading your posts! 😊
