No. The mean and cruel is just a logical extension to your claim.

Can you feel angry without needed to lash out?
This reminds me of unrequitted love. You weren't rejected. You responded honestly but you responded to your (mis)perception and (mis)interpretation.
Intimate relationships are not romantic or sexual, unless one interprets them that way.

I wasn't interested in intimate relationships. I just wanted to get my life in order. And no, I did not think for one second that the therapist was romantically or sexually interested in me. I am not the type of guy who gets positive attention from women. It was obvious to me that the therapist felt nothing 'special' toward me but I still could not suppress my feelings of attraction toward her. The therapist, on the other hand, could have acted differently and then she would have spared me a lot of suffering. I resent the fact that the therapist did not look out for me.
