React poorly, making someone feel bad
I’m my personal and work life, I have been unable to keep in my negative reactions to some situations.
At work, I can be short or condescending when problems (which aren’t really problems) pop up. Usually I am upset someone isn’t doing what is expected. I am the boss, so it all falls on me.
In my relationship, I hurt my girlfriends feelings when I’m not supportive enough. I have rolled my eyes when I should not have. I have made comments which have been hurtful and insensitive.
I have apologized to my employees.
my girlfriend says I should get counseling.
im here as a first step
she is worth it
@practicalKitten8052 How do you feel about the idea of counseling? It sounds like it could help you build some skills for managing stress and communication.
I’m not really wanting to, but I do want to change my actions or reactions.
im all about talking about problems, even my own. I’ve been trying to research tips to help my situation.
i may set up a meeting with a counselor my girlfriend knows on a personal level.
