Is ignoring offensive comments, hate or criticism just avoidance? Would ignoring them or isolating myself from such situations help with rejection sensitive dysphoria or make it worse?

If I couldn't understand the difference between offensive comments and constructive criticism, I would take a thoughtful a step back from all situations where this is happening and remove my self completely, which I have occasionally.

There is a difference between boundaries and abuse. There are also 2 parties in an exchange and both can decide what responsibility, if any, they have toward / with one another. If it's a stranger, I'm not obligated in any manner to engage. If it's a friend and it appears offensive, I might ask them if they mean to be hurtful or if they were trying to help. I might re-examine our friendship if I didn't ask for advice. I might re-examine how I come across to them or how I've worded something. Am I instigating a thing? Neurotypicals seem to enjoy a Troll, as it's a 'sign' of attention.

I'm not a fan of allowing myself to just take abuse - I feel I did enough of that as a child and have spent quality time working out certain fundamental principles of relationships and engagement. Online, I try to facilitate open debate and there are very rarely individuals who I will try to help give a further explanation of where I am coming from. If someone responds open to reasoning with and with out being dismissive or domineering, I don't mind if we don't agree. But some humans have no intention of connecting, so, I respond appropriately by not.
