Many people live with chemical or emotional imbalances that affect how they respond to stress, conflict, or unexpected triggers. These shifts can cause reactions that feel disproportionate or confusing to those around them. And here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: the person experiencing the imbalance may not even realize how their behavior is impacting others.

They may not remember the moment.
They may not see the need to apologize.
They may move on as if nothing happened.
Not out of arrogance — but out of unawareness.

Meanwhile, the people around them are left holding the emotional weight.
The awkwardness.
The embarrassment.
The tension.
The question of whether they should invite that person to the next gathering.

This is where compassion and boundaries must walk hand in hand.
