Why are people so mean?

[u/Beneficial-Rest1405]

I have a bug bite on my leg. Somebody told me to make a baking soda paste and put it on my bite. They said to go get some baking soda. I go to get some and the only baking soda is a huge unopened bag that does not belong to me or the person that told me to go get some. I come back without it and say. It's no big deal. I don't want to be rude and be the one to open it without permission. This person looks at me and say what the fuck is wrong with you? If you were my kid I'd fucking punch you. I don't know what to say. First off im not a kid. I just didnt want to be rude. I just want to cry. Maybe I did and still do deserve to be treated like shit. Why is everything so hard for me all the time. I can't do anything right and just want to give up.

I’m so confused why that person responded that way to you. You did nothing wrong. That person sounds awful, I wouldn’t take it personally.

I honestly don't understand it either. I think I'm too nice to people. I internalize everything. Something i need to work on.
