(October 30, 2013 at 6:41 pm)GodsRevolt Wrote: We are like a bull in the china shop of everyone else's emotions. There is the delicate balance between self-restraint and acting to your own instincts. And the only way to really avoid breaking something (not hurting another or yourself) is to completely leave the shop, which would be akin to emotional seclusion.

I have read this tired analogy, or something similar, many times when I frequented Facebook.

It is not my responsibility to tread lightly around others who may become upset at something I might do or state. I am not their emotional keepers. It is their responsibility alone how they react to what they experience in the world.
