Do you ever just stay quiet in the midst of chaos to avoid blowing up and saying something you will regret ?

Far more than people here would believe. Especially the political posts. When I read something that makes my head feel it's about to explode I shut up the most. It's much more beneficial and therapeutic to just do this.

If its at that point .. I tend to remove myself physically as well, because its likely I'm being provoked already and unlikely its going to stop just by my being quiet

All the time. Sometimes it's just better to not do or say anything.

Yup.

Yes, frequently.
