"The Well" is the name of a moderator here. I was helped with hiding the more triggering info. under a trigger warning.
Again, so sorry about what happened with your neighbor at the assault incident.
I think many people, in general, often don't think about what they do or say.
You didn't "ask for" either incident.
I think some of us are more careful of what we do or say because we are sensitive to others. We will encounter many less concerned about affronting other in lots of places.
In fact, it's one of the reasons I'm reticent to get involved on a PTSD forum.
I have found a certain percentage of people "run hot" (highly reactive) on PTSD forums and can be very self-involved and outwardly unkind.
On the other hand, there are very kind and sensitive people as well.
yes, you are a kind person and you will likely always be kind!
