Confrontation

Littlemissanxious

So today I had abit of a horrible experience in which someone was really rude to me. I have had to change working shifts due to what worked best with the family and this person was very rude as she was unhappy I was changing. I tried to explain why I had to change however she was really unpleasant. I am not very good with confrontation and froze. I felt so upset but waited until I got into my car before actually crying. I still feel upset hours later and my mind is full of "i should of said this" etc. 

Does anyone else find confrontation so uncomfortable? I know no one enjoys it but everyone around me seems to find it so much easier to deal with. I have reached out to my boss who has been so supportive. I just know I will be thinking about this interaction all weekend now. 

Thanks in advance

  • I think it's normal to find it hard.

    It goes against the people-pleasing, masking, fitting in without being noticed approach.

    You don't need to explain yourself. They're either jealous or are worried about who will replace you as it will make their life harder. Tell them to take it up with the boss, it's not your problem.
