Wierd pin trading question...
I'm new to the pin trading thing, but I love every one of the pins that I have so far. Do you all buy pins especially for trading? Should I not wear pins unless I'm willing to trade them? Most every pin I own has some sort of special meaning to me, and I'd be loathe to part with any of them right now...but I felt very weird telling a CM that when she asked me about my pins. I felt bad saying that I didn't feel comfortable trading any of them.
This, to me, is part of the pin etiquette thing. And, BTW, I was totally surprised when the CM asked me in the first place because I felt that the CM trading was probably something they only did with the kids. It's great that they realize how fun it is for adults too, but I would hate to be the one to take a pin from a CM that might have made some child's trip to WDW more magical...
Anywho, maybe someone can help me with my pin problem...

You should never feel pressured to trade a pin that you don't want to, especially one that has some significance to you. From my experience, most of the people wearing pins on a lanyard are interested in trading them... if there are pins that you want to wear but not trade, I'd suggest wearing them on your lapel (if feasible) or on your shirt instead.
