I strongly disagree with, mostly being prone to negativity and critical comments about others, then have to accuse myself of the same thing. But I just don't want to be around people who casually drop bombs into a conversation, and yes this is regarding equality and acceptance. I accept they disagree with me, and I just don't want to keep turning off my hearing when with them.
