Your Definition

An Emotional Landmine is someone with [unpredictable], turbulent emotions, and/or unexpected and extreme reactions to seemingly benign [conversation]. Emotional Landmines tend to hide their boundaries until you cross them, and seek revenge for the unintentional slight. Some Emotional Landmines may ghost close friends for setting them off, without even telling them that they've done anything wrong.

Some people on the autism spectrum see allistic (allistic means "not autistic") people as Emotional Landmines, and vice-versa. It's important to remember that the neurotype barrier is not a flaw with the other neurotype, but a "it's six/no it's nine" situation, neurologically. Some things that [upset] allistic people are totally fine and normal to autistic people, and some things that upset autistic people are totally fine and normal to allistic people.

Neither are wrong; it's important to recognize these differences, and acknowledge that other people may not know [how you feel]. This is not a lack of empathy, but rather, a lack of [understanding]. If they knew how you felt and why, they'd likely be supportive. Please be patient with people, especially strangers.

Please don't be an Emotional Landmine. Anyone can be one, especially under immense stress, so please be mindful of other peoples' perspectives.
