often by the same people who think I phrase something as being hostile just because of my wording when I never imply that.

I get what you’re saying here. I’ve been told in the past that I’m always angry and I know I sometimes speak with a condescending tone when I don’t mean to. I get frustrated with people not taking a second to think about what they say a lot. Especially when they ask questions, a lot of times if they think for a second they should be able to reason the answer themselves. But I know I have a problem with tone and communication and it’s something I’ve been working on myself for years through therapy and conditioning and I’ve gotten a lot better.
