re: #76 Dark_Falcon

So here’s some advice, that I perhaps don’t follow as often as I should but I do try to keep in mind.

There are days where I am cranky as shit. Sometimes, on those days, the appropriate response is to step away from the computer and do something fun. Or do something fun on the computer. But in general not interacting with people, except in very small doses. Because when I am cranky like that, I am likely to over-react, and even policing my reaction wears me out.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but I find that trying to reduce the amount I talk when cranky is helpful. Because otherwise I am going to reap what I have sown, in terms of response to a cranky comment, and people are going to be peeved because I have overreacted to something that was minor, if not completely inexplicable. And I’d rather dig myself out of fewer holes, but that’s just me.
