I'm posting this here for accountability:

I'm going to try my absolute best to not get offended by *anyone* on social media anymore. Anytime somebody comes in with some stupid comment, or makes a giant list of assumptions and basically accuses me of something retarded, or is purposefully demeaning, I am not going to react with trying to "one up" them or get super defensive. I'm just going to answer any points or contradict their premise where it makes sense. And where its just totally useless or there's nothing to even argue with, I won't engage.

Doesn't mean I won't be angry about some injustice or crazy story or whatever, and it certainly doesn't mean I will always follow this rule perfectly. Just wanted to make it known for a little bit of reinforcement that this is a goal of mine & I'm going to try to make sure I'm not letting someone else control how I feel, or what I think about.

This is the #1 thing meditation has helped me with. I can just observe when I want to react to something
