Sage advice

If someone gets defensive when you aren't being offensive, their reaction has nothing to do with you. They still feel raw, insecure, stressed, and fearful about the topic you are discussing, so it's best to gently step away from the conversation. It's like approaching dogs at the shelter; their demeanor is a reflection of how they were treated before you, so despite your best intentions, if you approach someone who is scared (even if you approach them with treats), you might get bit because you didn't pull back. People don't (usually) growl at you, but they do show signs when they feel threatened, and getting super defensive is one of those indicators that you have entered a minefield. I don't blame others for their raw wounds (I have my own), so let them be defensive. It has nothing to do with you. Back away. This isn't the time. Let them be. No reason to react to their reaction and escalate matters. Breathe.
