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!

I was worried about bringing up the hand gesture in the DBT group because I thought it may trigger someone. So I try to watch what I say, but if something may be triggering I try to note it on the post before people open it.
I try to be kind but I'm just human. I have my days when I can't even stand myself and everything irks me. But I was raised to be kind and polite to people. It's the Southern Way, ya know
?
Also with PTSD and CPTSD that's kind of the norm for us. If I get snappy with someone I try to apologize to them because I wouldn't hurt someone here intentionally for anything. We are all here to help, support and get support.
Sometimes I post on other peoples post, if I have the energy. But mostly I try to keep up with my own, that's about all I have the energy for.
