Self care is to avoid being around people or circumstances that would stress you out and trigger you. On here if certain people stress you out you can put them on your ignore list. Or in chat you can put them on ignore so what they are sharing does not affect you emotionally. That is a nice way of self care. Everyone in here is nice but there are so many conflicting MIs that they are bound to aggrevate one another. I think what you did, but not doing what you felt uncomfortable about was a wonderful example of self care... blessings
