[Yeah, but no. There are a lot of people who do not realise when they exaggerate and this might also be due to the fact that so many people are capable of hiding their true emotions and thoughts. And I'd like to contradict you on the mail and IM matter. It is usually very clear when someone doesn't want to talk to you. For example when during an IM-conversation one will not use smileys or punctuation marks he/she is usually angry or doesn't want to talk. Usually delayed answers indicate the same thing. Mail ... mail is so formal, so cold, that people only use it to talk about work and other serious matters.]
