I have three communities, all of which are in real life, and one very loose community that is a closed group on FaceBook. The real life communities are based on shared interests for all three, and shared values for two of them. I know that I disagree strongly with some members of the goat group (thanks to FaceBook) and my presidency just ended so I can go back to being more picky about the people inside of that group with whom I spend my time. The closed FB group is based around my high school, which is self-selecting to start and then the group is even more so as we self-segregate into areas of interest as well as participate in the daily conversations. I am a member in the specific sub-groups for bibliophiles, cartiophiles, snakes/creepy-crawlies, elder care challenges, home improvement, buy/sell/trade, and travel.
I try to give the highlight/lowlight in my answer and they can decide how to proceed if it's going to be a real conversation. Examples: "Decent. Had a great holiday with the family but my cat died suddenly." "Eh, fair to middling. I'm getting over a cold that I caught on a fantastic trip to Orlando last week."
I often trip over answers that should have been obvious. I try to be grateful that I've learned and no resentful that I am so bad at noticing the signs that pointed at the answer in the first place.
