Babble can get very lively sometimes. If there is a subject I feel passionately about, I am definitely more vulnerable to feeling bruised when discussions get heated.
It's the kind of environment where those exchanges can escalate rapidly and without warning. Taking a step back is often what I need to do to collect myself. I also use a 24-hour rule for myself when I am angry about something. (I don't do anything for a day and then decide if it's worth my effort or in my best interest to react.)
Please don't feel that you're not cared about or that you have no support here.
