 I don't pick fights, but I struggle with self-censorship. It didn't used to be that way.   I even censor myself in my handwritten #journals, which is wrong. I want to write about whatever I want and have it be OK.   I don't want to shape it into something semiformal, polish it, check for typos or analyze it from a potential client's, employer's, or lawyer's perspective before I hit "Post."  
 I was constantly on this from the other platforms too. But I realised that if we live in a world that we cannot speak our mind reasonably and constructively then we have failed as a humanity. It will hinder us from growing. 😀
