I have worked on this in therapy,learning to take a step back from that initial reaction,the surge of extreme feelings that cause me to react, and do alot of self talk to remain calm and in control of myself.The trigger is still always there but I am still learning new ways all the time.I have progressed with it,years ago I reacted violently and I don't anymore,but I still am not happy with my reactions.Maybe someday it will change even more.

And I understand what you say about not feeling safe or secure here but I can't let one bad apple spoil the bunch.
But it shows just how vulnerable you can be talking with people that you don't know. How people hurt others for their own benefit. That's true everywhere though, humanity has sunk to a new low, and the world is a dangerous place.
