I almost went off my rocker in a certain thread the other night. I even used inappropriate (fortunately censored) language inappropriately. Occasionally, I have bad days and life's events make those days worse. Still, that's not the most valid excuse for not just walking away from a sensitive topic that's rubbing one raw.
My apologies.
Worry not. Gaskets can be replaced.
Interaction is an important part of the learning and growing system in place. Further, one should not always be trying to avoid Drama. More is learned around Drama than at almost any other time.
One should always lead with that reason half. I see you have it leading again. If one leads with that feeling half, one could end up lost in a sea of emotions. It's never fun to be lost. Think, then act tends to deliver better results than simply reacting to things.
Do not overreact. Do not go through life like afraid of walking on eggshells. No one will make it through life without cracking a few eggs.
Be who you must! It's a part of the plan!
If it were I, I would figure out why the topic makes me so sensitive. Understanding all views around that topic will make the picture much clearer.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
