Feeling stupid

At the end of the day at work yesterday, I accidentally upset my co-worker. I couldn't figure out what I did so I worked up my courage and asked her. She told me how I behaved. I felt so bad and stupid that I accidentally started crying at work. I felt so embarrassed, I went into my cubicle, I couldn't stop. She came over and apologied but I felt like I was making myself look so stupid. I have to go to work today and I dont know how to face her.

look....your co-worker has already forgotten about it I'm sure, it's water under the bridge, and by your reaction she certainly knows you meant no harm. We are thin skinned and can at times be easily hurt, or embarrassed, or feel silly, we react sometimes in ways we wish we didn't....like crying.....but so what.....it shows what good character and what a good person you are for having the courage and caring to apologize. I doubt seriously if many would even bother doing that for you. It's just the nature of society these days. So just pat yourself on the back for being a good guy, hold your head up, and if you see your co-worker just smile and carry on with your day....it's all okay....

Well done for having the courage to ask her. You have sorted it with her now so move on. We all make mistakes without meaning to and this is now in the past. Go in and smile and say hi then get on with your work. x

Hello, I really can relate with your feelings. I guess most of us can, we are humans and we make mistakes. Just breathe, and be yourself. Don’t need to apologize or try to explain anything at all. Go with the flow being yourself, feel your own company and support, sometimes that’s what I think and kind of relaxes me. Good luck with everything!! Hugs*
