They are not out to get me. Even if I do get stung again the pain will only last for awhile.

What a great insight!...this must surely apply to many other aspects of life and (the facing of) FEAR(s) too 🙏

Umm, also, I got 'stung' (more in a kinda metaphorical manner) shortly after posting the previous comment. Took place in the following manner:

BEE: "Barge, do you recall pointing out that Flame is a girl and not a boy in order to 'correct' someone?

Barge: "...er yeah, I do it all the time, why?

BEE: "Coz you just did the same thing yourself by accepting Waspy's bullshit and her deliberate misuse of the pronoun to refer to MEE

Barge:"...oops, you're right your BEEness, I'll make sure to auto-correct! Bumble ApoloBees :(

I'm still buzzing from the knuckle-rap, so I'll it end here 😂
