It's sometimes said we never really know what another is really going through and this might be because either it was something they'd never discussed with us or we blissfully assumed that our experiences were the same.
When it comes to what brought us together as (adult) little girls, we may not know of each other pasts, the extent to which the expression of any gender identity through presentation may been of controlled by parents for instance and this may effect their own unique route into it.
I may be fairly open about mine not least cos to me it's no big secret and I feel just talking about these things is of help to others but not everyone does.
If we're together, we do need to take care of each others feelings so no one feels awkward and keep an eye out for those whose sense of fun may come on over as being rather borish or otherwise intimidating.
Some people may have difficult relations with their significant others (usually partners) through either their cross-dressing, gender id issues or just being a little who wants to express it.
Also some of us may have ongoing health issues or disabilities that may not seem obvious to you and equally we may have adapted how we see things to take account of our own limitations that perhaps that we may not always be as sensitive to your needs, perhaps seeing them as less important. It isn't uncommon for someone to say in response to saying how difficult they find their job, effectively "Be grateful for being able to work as I only wish I could" which isn't showing an appreciation for how that situation may be leaving you.
I do feel those of us who don't enjoy the best of health need to ensure we don't lose our empathy with those who while having better health, face other challenges in their lives and respect their needs such as having to up ready for work in the morning.
It doesn't hurt to try to do better when it comes to rubbing along.
