Yeah I can understand. I was around yelling a lot too which made me prefer someone to be sarcastic and use backhanded compliments since I learned that if I was being yelled at, even over something minor, I was going to be repeatedly hit so I was always afraid of abyone who yelled. For someone who is being sarcastic but calm, I don’t feel as threatened. I still don’t like it, but at least they won’t be physical.
