Hey, kudos on you for admitting it instead of continuing with the hostile tone. Self reflection like this should be more common, I think it would defuse a lot of tense situations.
Its natural that we react with aggression (or flight or freeze) when under pressure. Our monkey brains translate modern life all too easily into a mortal threat. And to be honest, my own brain translates a medium filled train car into the equivalent of a stampede, so i’ve been there more often than i’m comfortable with. No harm done; in the end, it’s just a internet forum.
I think you’re correct, I’ve been overly cynical the past week due to stresses and I’m not good with stress.

Take care of yourself, ok?
