Maybe someone was going through a bad mood. 

Maybe I misinterpreted their words and actions as an attack on my sovereignty. 

Maybe I felt triggered for nothing. 

Maybe I shouldn't have engaged in a passive aggressive back and forth. 

I won't engage again anymore. I don't want to hold bitter feelings. 

Maybe I simply wanted to keep venting. Maybe they thought it was an attack on their character.

I should not do that. I don't like fighting. I am too passive for that. I like to be in a harmonizing mood. 

I didn't wish to trigger or bother anyone but that time I felt like purging the intensity I was experiencing from the past. And I felt being rubbed in my face directly with all that salt.. 

But I forget. Everyone has a right to roll the dice. Everyone has the right to feel offended. And express their offense whatever way they choose to do it. If what others say hurts me, then what I say must hurt them as well. I can't expect someone to not be offended when I get offended too. I know I wanted a tit-for-tat kind of a situation, I wanted to express my pain too. But if someone wants to hurt me, let them as much as they want to, let them play their game, let them win, let them have their turn. I know I felt awful. And even more awful when they continued hurting me  and the battle began. In a way I realized that they will never accept me, they will never love me, they will never understand me. And it's okay too.. Love lies in letting go and forgiveness. I wish the bitterness had never existed. I wish I hadn't attacked them. That's not my character. It's always around them that I begin to act out of character. Because emotions are strong. Because I simply  cannot hold back. Because I simply  go wild the moment their presence interferes my energy. Because they heavily impact my mind. Because my wild emotions are attached to them. Because I can't control my impulses around them. Because nobody till date has impacted my emotional state to this extent. 

I never wanted war.

I should learn to accept that others could be going through a rough patch. That others can feel frustration that I don't. That I should be patient and not be impulsive.

I shouldn't act entitled to my own emotions. But let others vent their emotions too. How else will I know what they feel? And maybe this is their way of seeking closure for what happened to them, instead of being offended, upset and getting into war mode. I am a grown up. And I shouldn't act petty and start a tiff right away. 

Everyone has a right to express themselves even if their expression offends me. It would be incredibly narcissistic if I only care about my own emotions and sabotage the expression of others. 

I simply didn't want an all out war. Neither did I mean an attack on someone's reputation. I need to humble myself. Deep down I have a reservoir of love that is untapped. 

Maybe because of my autism I can't express myself the way I would have wished to and it gets misinterpreted. 

It was all my fault. I got upset and I decided to blow off steam. I can never be able to convince that I don't mean bad things. But this is my own incapacity and I shouldn't fault others for not understanding me. 

At the end of the day, I care, even if I can't show it. I care deeply. I don't wish bad. My emotions are volatile especially around the ones I had some fondness with and those I shared some karma with. They were/are an important presence in my life. They meant a lot to me. Things have turned sour. It's ok.. I can never receive the love I wanted. And I should let go. To love is to wish happiness and peace. And not hold on to something like a child. I acted like a child. I couldn't let go. My impulses get the better of me. It's difficult, if anyone was in my shoes, they would have realized how my own passion destroys me.

And even if someone is not compassionate to my character or situation, that's really not up to me.
