I think some people have a hard time fathoming all your life experiences as vast and varied as they are.
I wonder if I have personally put people off because I often say "me too", when someone posts something I have done, too. I always mean it as see our similarities, we have something in common, but maybe it reads as I'm trying to steal your thunder or one up you? People can be peculiar with what offends them.
Glad you stuck it out through the badgering.
