Why do you see everything as an insult?

Why shouldn’t I? Have you ever posted anything to me without an insult? Isn’t it insulting enough to imply that something’s wrong with the way I see things?

Have I shared with you the rather pitiful story of my childhood? Were you aware that when I was four years old, my aunt’s brother-in-law’s sister’s cousin told me that she was my real mother? Can you comprehend the fear and confusion that overwhelmed me at that moment? Is it unreasonable to be a bit touchy when you have no idea what terrible fact may reveal itself to you at any moment?

Do you not have a modicum of empathy?
