I think you're correct, I've been overly cynical the past week due to stresses and I'm not good with stress.
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.
Take care of yourself, ok?
