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

  • They didn’t really have any right to express how they felt about you changing your shifts, just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you have to speak it, it’s really it’s none of their business what shifts you do or don’t work. They obviously have a problem which isn’t yours to fix, I’d suggest they go away and think about it. I also really dislike confrontation even with those I’m close to, something about it really makes you feel vulnerable I guess.
