You're not responsible for anyone but yourself. If you do something and someone else is hurt by it, it's because THEY choose to be hurt by it. Sounds cold, I know, but you just worry about yourself and how you feel and let the others worry about themselves and how they feel. Don't let anyone dump responsibility for how they feel on you. When someone says they are hurt or angry because of something I said or did, I just tell them that I did what I needed to do or said what I felt and if they are hurt then I guess THEY need to do something about it. Ain't my responsibilty. Of course, if you do something really bad or wrong, then you need to apologize for it but once you've done that, your side of the street is clean. If they're gonna hold a grudge, that's their problem.
