Perhaps an icon should not cause anxiety, but the fact is it can. Like I posted, it happened to me recently. The last thing I needed to hear was that I was in the wrong for feeling upset about the sudden appearance of an icon I had not seen before. As it was, I felt foolish for almost breaking down and crying about the icon.

It might help, whispering, if you can work on not personalizing the icon by accepting that it truly does not have anything to do with you, but is part of a function of this forum.
