I'm feeling a little emotionally bruised today. I posted something on reddit looking for an honest opinion and the post was met with harsh criticism and removed.

Here's what the moderator said.

"Removing this post because trolling. Go google this **** if you want answers."

I looked up the definition of a troll and this is what I found.

"make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them."

This does not sound like me and when I asked for specifics, this is what came back.

"Considering your SO30 post history is rife with people outright asking you if you’re a troll, you’re either clearly a troll or extremely clueless. Either way, your posts will get removed if they don’t meet the sniff test."

Due to childhood trauma, I don't take rejection well. I am extremely clueless and I don't have a good sense as to what some consider offensive and when I take a risk by revealing my own naivete, I end up with a bruised ego.

So if anybody has any coping mechanisms, I'm all ears.
