I hate how nuanced criticism of people you otherwise agree with suddenly means you're not on the team.

Do you ever have meltdowns? Like, any sort of sensory input and you're going to lose it? It feels like sometimes people are so worked up that any reply puts them on the defensive, and they are reading to respond rather than reading to understand.

I hate to admit it, but I do it sometimes too, so I try and stay off the internet when I'm mad 😅

Something that helps me not get mad when someone replies to me with some asinine remark: is this person arguing with something I didn't say? If so, no need to reply. It still bothers me to not respond to things that are twisting my words because I wonder if they actually just misread, but if they aren't sure they can ask, right? If they aren't asking then they just want to talk and that's fine too, have fun 🤷‍♀️

(also everyone gets called a tankie on here, welcome to the club 😅)
