You are 100% right here and we need to stop tiptoeing for so many reasons. There are plenty of people in our society that have been sheltered and coddled and now can't handle reality and they need some tough love, not only for the sake of our society as a whole but for those of us that are forced to tip toe, unable to be open about who we really are. People need to begin to understand that other people are not responsible for their emotions. We are all responsible for how we feel. How we handle stress, whether it be our jobs, school, debt, crowds, or controversy, is completely within our own control. We simple need to refuse to tip toe any longer.
