Baby steps

So.

I blame myself, harshly, when I say things to other people that I think might help, but instead causes them pain/angst, especially when I should have known better.

I feel horrible, and I feel that my face/body are incapable of expressing just how horrible I feel. There are no outward signs to mark me as the scumbag I am for being so inconsiderate...


Because I must be a scumbag, if I mean to say something that will help someone, and instead wind up saying something that makes them feel worse.

Actually i was trying to hint in the other direction... that you aren't the one with the issues after all.

But it was just kind of a thought that I thought might be worth considering. I'm far too emotionally remote to know much about this sort of thing. i growled at my issues and they went scampering away. I'm sure they're still out there somewhere.

(Sorry, that was a rather twisted metaphor, as is almost everything I say. When ye can't say what ye mean, say something else entirely. *grin*)

I know there are issues on the other end, and I feel as if I ought to have avoided triggering them, since I'm aware of them.
