Angst headcannon... but also a comfort headcannon: every once in a while, Handlebarb gets a hater comment that gets under their skin and it hurts them. Fortunately, they have the other 10 Speeds who will shower them with comfort and love, and give the hater that big “back off.”
Love this 10 Speeds hurt/comfort

You bike like a girl! Now that one really struck a chord. Handlebarb felt frozen to the spot as they watched the hater walk away with a smirk. The 10 Speeds gasped as they saw tears begin to run down Handlebarb's face.
Warpspeed marched to the hater. "You can't talk to our friend like that!"
Todd added, "Get outta here and never come back, before we make sure you never go anywhere again!"
The hater grimaced, quickening his pace. As he retreated, all the 10 Speeds crowded around Handlebarb to hug them. "Don't let anyone invalidate you," Cannonball told them.
