I clearly don’t have a definite answer on this one, but after having overrated myself in a very non threatening situation, this question came to me. Maybe I overreacted because I felt like my ego was under attack; maybe I did it to show off how powerful I am; maybe it was because one of my boundaries was being challenged; maybe it’s because I’m human; maybe my overreaction was in fact an attempt to restore or re-enforce my power; maybe I did it because of my own insecurities; maybe...
There could’ve been a multitude reasons why I reacted the way I did and none of them can really excuse how stupid my action was nor could they alleviate the pain it must’ve brought to the person at the receiving end. For that, I truly and sincerely am sorry.
