I agree, I have moments where I speak before I think or get more aggressive with my point than is necessary. I thought I broke this habit, but recently realized I was still doing it. I’m trying to be more vigilant about this and am putting a conscious effort into not escalating or drawing out disagreements. Regardless of whether or not I’m accepted, this is something I will continue to keep in mind. 

To add to that, I’ve also been getting Gabe’s help with learning how to word things in a way that comes across less blunt or unintentionally aggressive. Even the puzzle event announcement was proofread by him because I somehow managed to sound like an angry robot just describing the event. 

I appreciate you mentioning this.
