Caring/Compassion/Sensitivity/Tact vs Lying/Faking

[zenmaster]

Should you rectify? And apologize? Perhaps reword it to where I would not be offended?

People can habituate themselves into the victim/manipulator role by such exaggeration. This is also often done to position themselves on a moral 'high ground'. But what is really going on is a learning process where they are asking unconscious questions to see what is the acceptable social dynamic (The unconscious questions varies depending on personal needs, but the theme is always 'where is the balance'). When one is still working through relativism/pluralism/Transformation-of-Mind, their sense of proportion tends to be distorted.
