On temper and temperance

I understand that people have problems, and it's not all the time that they can act properly [or the way you want them to] around you.  I really get that a lot.  I'm almost always at the receiving end of bad tempers, temper tantrums, irrational screaming and the like - even if i'm not the cause of that person's baggage.

...and then I came to a point where I started to question:

I'm always there to understand and be rational on why a person is acting that way under personal duress...
...kung ibang tao nga, kaya kong intindihin...pero bakit ako?  Hindi ako iniintindi?

I really get that other people cannot control their own actions when under such emotional stress.
Ganun na nga lang ba, na palagi nalang ako ang iintindi?
Kasi pag dumating naman ang oras na ako ang nagiging bratinella, ako parin ang mali.

Worse, ipamumukha pa sayo na mali ka.

Bakit?  Nung ikaw ba, nagkaganyan, tinrato ba kita nang ganyan?

I'm not expecting people to act like me...however, one should always remember to respect the fact that you are dealing with another person who has feelings.  Be selfish all you want...pero don't disregard the fact that the other person might be trying to alleviate your pain...and is extending his or herself for your own benefit.  The least thing you could do is to apologize [for lashing out] when you gain your rationality back.  Make an effort to fix whatever you broke during your deluge.

Maybe in saying all these, I am being selfish and very one-sided...kasi I am used to dealing with exploders.
And I know that not all people are "programmed" like me.
Pero...please...nakakapagod din umintindi.
Tao rin ako.
Nasasaktan din ako.
