And Now I’m Crying

Well, that was certainly an unexpected thing for me to start crying Earlier I had someone on a phone call say something smart-alecky to me and it hurt my feelings what he said wasn’t all that bad in and of itself but it was the fact that he always finds a way to try to hurt me Then I had a phone call with the owner of the massage place where I had the incident where the massage therapist spit on me. It went well they’ve already refunded my money for that dates service and they’ve bought back the gift card that I had so I did not ask for any other sort of compensation. The owner expressed concern and he did apologize so I consider the matter finished. But I guess just because of the anxiety of having to confront someone about something my stomach was in knots and now I’m crying. I hate these anxious feelings of guilt for standing up for myself

Sometimes things can come to a head like that. I have a problem with an online service too which is very aggravating. I keep getting the same clueless guy to deal with. I am going to probably have to end up filing a dispute with the bank which is going to be a big inconvenience

You’ve got an emotional let down going. All that pressure deflated like a balloon, and you were blindsided by someone who should be better. I’m of the nature to cry too. I don’t like that I do it, but it’s part of us, I guess.

Your only human and to cry is ok. That is good that you stood up for yourself.

You shouldn't feel guilty for standing up for yourself.

Standing up for yourself is hard, and crying after is just your body letting go of all that tension. You handled the call with the owner really well and got a fair outcome. Be kind to yourself tonight, you earned a break.

Just emotional feelings sometimes; they just come naturally. Anyway, I am glad everything worked out,
