DeFi liquidation stories?

Not asking for sermons, I already know leverage is dangerous. I'm mostly curious what the actual experience felt like for people when the alerts started going off and whether anyone here changed behavior permanently after getting clipped.

Mine happened while I was at my cousin's wedding. Terrible reception, excellent irony.

Got partially liquidated on a lending platform and never borrowed against volatile stuff again.

The permanent lesson for me was keeping too many moving pieces in one position.

At a wedding is brutal. Crypto loves timing its punches.

The feeling is weirdly physical. Like your chest knows before the app fully loads.
