acting out of character

Good morning @Eden1919 !

Thanks so much for writing in about how you're feeling recently, I think a lot of people will be able to relate as sometimes this can happen out of the blue and its a little bit confusing when it does! Don't worry, it is totally normal to feel a little bit off than how you usually do, but it is very important to check in with yourself and see where the root cause of this may be coming from, and seek help accordingly. Sometimes it can be easily fixed with some self care, but other times we might need some professional help.

Has anything happened recently that could have triggered you to feel this way? Maybe even something small that you might not have realised could have left you feeling a certain way and hence why you seem to be feeling a little agitated?

If not, it could be a lack of something that you need. Maybe some extra self care would be beneficial for you to try and relax your current state of mind, and even through actions such as meditation, you can sometimes be able to pin point why you may be feeling like this. Whatever your body and mind need, take time to do something that you think will help, and make sure to reach out to others as well.

All the best,

i dont think i have a substance abuse issue @Question it wasnt that serious in terms of the actual arguments there was no swearing or anything mean directed at anyone else it was just that i found it weird that usually i would have just stopped the conversation when it started to get that way but i didnt these last few days and more so i was asking questions that i knew could cause an argument like i didnt mean to start it exactly but i knew it was a possibility and i still probably shouldnt have asked in the first place.

@amber22 yeah i am not sure what is causing it but i am more agitated the last few days i guess i will just have to take some time to figure out what to do.

I think it's not just you. There's a lot of indications that the internet is in the "Gamergate II" period. It's a whole weird side-chapter to the culture war. There's a new breed of troll tactics and one portion of the gaming/twitch/etc community is teaming up with trolls while the other portions are brigading against the troll teams. It's all a bit silly.

Ii will say, though, it's kind of nice that since 2016 (the first gamergate) a lot of us have become more troll-proof. Because people interested in growing tend to grow (and the new troll tricks aren't actually that new.) In that way, Gamergate II is kind of empowering. But, it's silly. It's all very silly.
