I misspoke; I apologize. I regret my mistake.

I wrote that your emotions are irrelevant to others.

That's not what I meant. I failed at editing properly.

That was incorrect (obviously). I care about what you feel.

I meant that they're most important to you, and that I don't know what your feelings are until you tell me. Unless I can predict what you'll feel, I can't deal with them before I hear about them.

I can't always predict what people will feel. Is that my fault? Is it a failing?

I understand that my feelings are less important to me than to others; I do my best to make my feelings irrelevant because they sometimes interfere with clear thinking and effective action. Of course I still have them...

I'm not perfect. Please forgive my error.
