We are always quick to jump to the wrong conclusion and build a case of "facts" that we are positive are true, but often times, there is a hidden piece of the puzzle that we didn't know about, or something about their motives that we didn't understand. Giving someone the benefit of the doubt is always a good choice and just figuring they are having a bad day, maybe their kid was really upset by what was said or done and she is feeling protective, or maybe she just wasn't thinking. I generally will let things like this just roll off my back because I know how embarrassing it is when you get into a fuss like this with someone. Now, if it's an ongoing pattern, then it's time to step away, but even then, I just do it quietly by just drifting out of the relationship. I had to do that with an OCD friend of mine recently and it was hard. She's such a good person and I really enjoyed being friends with her, but when you're dealing with major issues like that, you have to totally run the relationship on her terms and I just wasn't up for it any more. Her social anxiety issues ruined many an outing, so I finally decided I needed to just step back from it and let her be who she is.

I'm surprised she cried as I doubt you came out guns blazing! Maybe she was also having a bad day. Were you able to calm her down and leave things okay? Or will it be awkward the next time you see her? Man, social crap at our age is so hard. It makes me want to stay home and close the curtains LOL ps--I also run conversations on loop in my head. But while you were replaying the morning convo, she probably hadn't given it a second thought. It's hard to turn off the cycle...sending you positive vibes :) :) -kristiina Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859978829810609225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033509487567584473.post-5516855631827207722015-08-24T17:25:16.037-07:002015-08-24T17:25:16.037-07:00Hi Angie,

I think it's good practice to receive negative comments. Some day, when you publish that book that's inside you, you'll be able to handle any negative comment because you already practiced here.. Also, there are days your readers are in terrible moods and just need to vent, Your blog may have been the place for her to vent. But I still think she should have signed her name.

I held my breath, neither post received negative feed back, both were well received. I feel the same, if a reader gives me their opinion which by asking a question at the end of my post I am asking for then they are welcome to it. If it is an attack on me or another reader, or foul language, then that would be addressed and removed. Bravo for being classy....
