So now I'm known as one of the judgmental sensitive little snowflakes who cannot handle any mention of drug use in books.
the prof scolded the whole class, without singling you out. Why do you take it so personally? Whether the prof was right is irrelevant; the relevant part is that you take something that applied to a group personally, as if it applied to you individually. Is that a pattern for you or a one-off occurrence?
Thanks for this!
