> I think if we feel triggered against something someone has written, we should just step away and not post. I am trying to do this, and have gotten a lot better at it but sometimes it hurts a lot especially when you are told to go somewhere else to post, that what you write isn't acceptable, even if you didn't break any rules.

> It is a fine line to defend your triggers, and tell someone to go away, because what you write hurts them, but it will hurt them if you tell them to go away. I think sometimes if we are trying too hard to tell someone something without wanting to hurt them, we should step back, and probably not post right then. Because words hurt, everyone has the potential to hurt, even when you try not too.
> I don't know I keep going back and forth in the issues of whether I should be here or not. Sometimes it is good people know you in order to help you, but it is also a way to hurt someone by taking what they know against you. I don't know I just feel drained about this issue. I am beginning to regret ever posting here.It is really hard isn't it?
