Forgive my use of emoticons, I think it helps alleviate the aggravation of this topic. (I know those people aggravate me, at least.  ) Self-absorptionSome people lose sight of the fact that the world doesn't revolve around them or maybe they just don't want to accept that fact.  InconsiderateHave they ever considered that them lashing out is actually 'triggering' (ugh, it grates me to even say it) a negative response from the other person?  Attention Seeking (the Look At Me! Look At Me! crowd)They want to be noticed, pitied, and perhaps given special exceptions/opportunities.  Cast Blame/Gain FavorThey do not like the other person and/or their point of view. Calling out an 'injury' that has been dealt to them by that person gains them sympathy/favor, while putting the blame/shunning on the other person. Personally, I am far less likely to believe whatever pain they are claiming is real if they behave in such a manner. I know many individuals who have had horrible things happen to them. You would never know it to see them from the outside. I myself have episodes in my past that haunt me. I do NOT take it out on others. Even if they try to hurt me because they know about those nightmares... because that might then give them the illusion of power over me or perhaps be entertainment for them. I'll be damned if I'm going to give anyone like that the satisfaction. As for the ones that say/do something to make me recall those times, but have no idea/ill intent in doing so? If they are close enough, I might consider mentioning it to them. Most likely, I will understand they couldn't have possibly known... and in that regard, there is nothing to forgive in the first place. |
