Was trying to send myself .05 ETH and it was going to cost me .03 ETH, why do I even have it if I can’t use it?

It has been so frustrating lately, and I understand that it is a good thing over all to see this much traffic, but this is ridiculous. Imagine if you had to pay an additional 50% on every transaction at the store? The whole thing has completely put me off of Ethereum at least for now. I know I’m going to get a lot of crap for this, but today I completely converted my ETH to other coins, all except what I have staking on Coinbase. Maybe I’ll come back when I hear this problem has been fixed, but until then, I’m moving on to other projects. I do know I can’t be the only one who feels the same way though.
