Bad people will try to hurt you with your own compassion

When someone has hurt you

And you try to understand their actions

Perhaps even making excuses for them

Bad people will use this as a weapon to hurt you with

Well then why did you fight back? they will say

Why didn't you just lie there and let them hurt you?

Say nothing when they tried to destroy you what's their words?

Most people go into fight or flight whenever they are attacked

If people act this way it is often because they simply do not care as much about you

The other person matters and you don't

And it's one thing to know ahead of time and having been told by the person about something

And another to have thought of something that you might just be using to make excuses for them and their actions towards you

Victims are often taught to blame ourselves

Especially if you have autism

Or a mental health condition

Compassion should not be used as a weapon against the wounded
