Diffuse = To spread out.
Defuse = To render something less explosive (literally, remove the fuse, de-fuse)

When you're talking about making a situation or event less tense or toxic, you're talking about defusing the situation. Not diffusing the situation--you don't want to spread the tension around.

I'm such a PITA though.

Sometimes, it's necessary to spread the tension around. You know. But only when one is possessed of an evil djinn and wants to be a shit disturber. Which never happens to me. Oh no.
