I was so pissed off last night. And although I feel a lot better now, I still can't get over what happened.
I got into a little fight (or maybe misunderstanding is a better term? I honestly don't know. I can't look at what happened objectively.) with two loved-ones of mine. I would neither disclose their identities nor get into the juicy details because like I've said, they're important to me. I wouldn't want people thinking bad thoughts about them just because of my ranting. They're really great people. I just don't really like them right now.
So, what happened? They got mad at me over something petty. And by petty, I mean petty. It's uber trivial that it shouldn't have caused negative emotions at all! I don't know what the hell happened.
I needed to take care of something really really important. In the process, I caused them some inconvenience as they were waiting for me. But I didn't mean it at all. It was not my fault. I encountered several technical problems, you know, the sh*t happens type of misfortune. I've had to push on even if it meant I took their time because it was very very important. I had to do it. I had no choice. And they knew the situation.
But they blew up at me. I know I should have just ignored them. Negative plus negative never equated to anything positive. But I was already stressed, and tired, and harassed, and all that. I got really ticked off so I answered back. Why? I believe that when you're in a relationship with someone (any type of relationship for as long as you love or at least care for one another), you should exert more effort. There's a certain responsibility there. You need to do your part to make things work. You are expected to listen more, to understand more, to be more patient, to let things go - things like that. Especially when your loved-one is troubled. That is when you are needed the most. I got mad because they were not there. Worse than not understanding me, they got mad at me. I didn't need that. I wouldn't take that bullsh*t! So there.
It's funny how petty things get in the way of relationships. I regret what I did. I know I'm also at fault for replying sarcastically. But I can't deny that I'm still a bit mad. I'm so disappointed. I hope this never happens again and I hope things between us get better.
P.S. I don't want your sympathy, although insights are welcome. I just had to get this off my chest.
