Sometimes I just feel like rolling my eyes, asking them what's the point of asking for opinion if they're going to reject contrasting views with harsh words.

I was just trying to make peace, ease out the tension, excuse me.

If that's what you want then fine, go do whatever you want. I'm not going to care so much or be so emotionally attached to the group if it means I have to put on a mask and fake smile all the time.

I'm trying not to see this as a personal attack. It probably wasn't intended to be one, but the more I harp on it, the more angry I feel.

I'm washing my hands off you.
