In reply to the discussion: Scapegoated for reporting [View all]MutantAndProud
(855 posts)27. It's not abnormal to become-
-sensitive to repeat stimuli. But I am in the same position. My methodology exposed the stimuli sources as needed and I rolled that back upon completion. I wont say its all good (as you say, that would be bullshitting myself and you etc), because technology is leveraging the worst aspects of humanity. But it is a good choice to follow your gut feeling if withdrawing from some social zones reduces exposure to toxicity. Theyll always exist in some way or another. Unless you have specific people you want to stay in touch with or have to get through a few professional steps to tie up loose ends theres really no harm in moving on to a different area.
