Emotions aren't inherently positive or negative. It's what you do with the emotions that has actual moral substance.

Here, let's look at it this way.

I say something, and it made you sad. However, you know full well my intent was not to make you sad. Despite this, you use your sadness to guilt me about the thing. So now I feel sad that you are purposefully misinterpreting my meaning.

I am offended that you are offended. Explain to my why my feeling is invalid and yours is valid.

Anyone can feel bad about anything.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm not saying go around purposely making people sad. I'm saying don't make your sadness my issue.

you're adding way too much into this. who said that someone would guilt you? normally when you make someone sad they don't say anything about it, they just feel a bit worse and continue with their lives

i'm just explaining to you, there's no way to rationalize your way out of this. you are in complete control over what you say, unless you have verbal tics. and people will understand if you accidentally say something offensive from a tic. do you not understand this? it's just about responsibility.

take some responsibility for what you say. that's all.
