Some petty shit idk

We were learning about metaphors in class and our teacher asked for one that would describe love/unbridled passion. So I mentioned a forest fire, (it wasn't out loud, it was in menti or whatever that shit is called)
Someone said out loud "who the hell submitted this one I'll actually slap you" and I didn't register if they were joking or not so I got scared. I'm a sensitive person and have always avoided conflict so things like these are enough to trigger my panic, I just laid down over the table acting like I wasn't crying. They turned to their friend and said "like try having a fire fighter dad and then talk to me". I have an uncle, thanks, and one of my direct family members is a cop. You're not the only one with a figure in a high risk job, I understand but it's literally a fucking metaphor and no one can read your mind, that's great that you now get to go home and not think about it anymore while the other person is in a spiral questioning if they should close themselves completely off again or if they're a bad person for saying something unintentionally insensitive and wondering if you hate them and wondering why they're always the target of things like these, even though they aren't but this shit brings back times where they were and it's hard to grow out of that mindset when they weren't supposed to make it past a certain age but here they are!! Hope your dinner is great because mine actually was tbh but now I'm typing a petty ass essay on some random website because I'm overdramatic and can't get over shit and I'll probably still be thinking about this after a month and be fucking terrified of it happening again. My bad for saying it tho fr, I hope I didn't telepathically shatter your dad's feelings with that 3 word sentence on a class exercise.
