I'm so sorry about your friend. She could have asked you more about your views before leaving. She could have disagreed with you without ghosting you. Things are fucked. I had a terven disagreement with someone recently. Why do I feel so anxious and angry? I don't usually feel this awful when I disagree with people about things. Maybe it's because I feel like everyone is poised to reject me and paint me as the villain.

I believe I feel this way because it is so clearly wrong, yet many don't see the issues at stake clearly. The silencing of non-believers makes it worse. Now I'm agreeing with religious zealots on biological facts and I feel like I'm living that talking heads song lol.

It feels really lonely when everyone else is doing something that seems really obviously wrong. Right? Twice as lonely when they say you're the wrong one :(
