For what it’s worth: whoever doesn’t treat you with compassion and in good faith, no matter if they disagree with you, is most likely not there because they care about you (or others like you) but because they are doing some mental masturbation for the sake of shitting on someone. Have people around you who want you to be the best version of yourself.

Uhh, reading this after writing it sounds like a bunch of self-help bullshit

I hope your break treats you well!
