[05:46] zzz: morning?
[05:46] xxx: morning
[05:47] xxx: hey
[05:47] zzz: heh whats up?

[05:49] xxx: thinking
[05:49] xxx: and talking to people
[05:49] zzz: thinking about what?
[05:49] xxx: many things
[05:51] zzz: uh ok
[05:51] xxx: right now I'm having a discussion about sex, actually.
[05:52] zzz: ok ill let u go
[05:52] xxx: ........
[05:52] xxx: why do you interpret what I say as me telling you to go or stay?
[05:53] xxx: You asked me what I was doing, and then I told you
[05:53] zzz: cuz u werent totally forthcoming about it and u didnt ask me anything about it so i interpreted it as u not wanting to talk which i dont think is a strange way to interpret u being vague
[05:54] xxx: I was forthcoming
[05:54] xxx: I told you exactly what was going on.
[05:54] zzz: ok nvm
[05:54] xxx: many things, and then one thing specifically
[05:54] xxx: that discussion
[05:54] zzz: im not offended or nething i just dont like feeling like im in a convo that the other person doesnt wanna be in
[05:56] zzz: im sorry if i missinterpret u
[05:56] zzz: but i just guess sometimes the way u talk makes me feel that way
[05:56] xxx: I understand
[05:57] zzz: well thanks for understanding, ill work on it. i guess i just have a hard time trusting that when people say something...thats all they r saying, im used to deeper/double meanings

zzz would get on my nerves easily.

For me the placement of the coma and having the word "actually" seems quite abrubt. This sentence does nothing to open up a conversation.
If the sentence appeared like this.
[05:51] xxx: actually right now I'm having a discussion about sex.
That for me would seem like an invitation to continue the discussion.

I think that this is good manners, if someone has stated that they are already engaged in a conversation, I would not want to intrude.
