i can identify with some of this...except that my Beloved Master requires me to eat ALL meals with the smaller fork...unless that's all that is available...or it would be social awkward...in which case i ask permission...quietly...or silently...but i do ask...
but i can't even get my family to respond on Facebook...and my church is under trees or in a meadow or on a beach...
although it's hard for Baron Igor to drag me outside most days...
