Am I wrong to empathize at least a little? Ive had crash outs that were pretty bad. I’ve never ddos’d someone but ive definitely done 2000s forum “psycho ex girlfriend” story post levels of crazy before. In your moment of rejection, nobody else

Reminds of when I got dumped, and went out with an air rifle and shot a couple birds (would have been 3, but I missed with the last slug I found). Utterly out of character. I wonder (and doubt) if they (at least yet) likewise feel greatest remorse for their weakest moment [of “hurt people hurt people”]. … And reminds of [in Babylon5] when Lennier had a moment of fail, out of character, ran from saving Sheradin, … and How D’lenn handled it, sympathetic to how we are each susceptible to such moments of fail and we let our worst overtake our better. Still… another’s capacity for such wise sympathy (or empathy), is no excuse for them.
