You came across as needy and obviously needed some kind of approval,
and I think that showed in your forum posts elsewhere as well.

Ultimately it's my decision whether or not I interact with people, and
since I didn't really have a need or desire to, I did my best not to.
That's my choice, and I don't see why I should be faulted for it, or
considered a ####ty IMM for making that choice.

Either way, good luck with your next.
