Well, that happened!

Well, that happened! Time number 2 where I inadvertently make someone cry at work because I pointed out that the email they sent out had accessibility issues. Who knew accessibility was so full of drama.

@mcourcel Was it a girl? Girls tend to cry more.

@SapphireRose91 I mean, yes, it was, but I'm aiming to get a man to cry next. Lol!

@mcourcel When you do, I'd love to know! Men don't cry enough.

@SapphireRose91 My mom always encouraged me to cry for some odd reason. And I do, I'm not a monster, but I don't cry on a dime. Lol!

@mcourcel She probably encouraged you because most men are encouraged to suppress their emotions. It's stupid really. I'm not saying they should cry at the drop of a hat, but if they need to express their emotions, other than anger, they should be able to do so without repercussion.

@mcourcel Dang, surely you weren't mean about it. Lord.

@SapphireRose91 Totally agree. I'd rather let it all out, instead of keeping it all in.

@mcourcel Dang, surely you weren't mean about it. Lord.

@mcourcel That's an unfortunate happenstance. Regardless of the circumstances, or who caused what, it certainly is a stressful event for both parties, and none of it was likely intentional on either side. I hope that person is able to figure out how to regulate themselves a bit better, and if a conversation to resolve is inevitable, I hope it has a positive outcome, and some sort of healthier understanding can be attained.

@EmeraldRose Nope, never mean. I figure there were other things happening in her life and this was just the last straw. It turned out to be a really good teaching moment for her and she thanked my colleague and I for the help we gave her, which we were going to give her anyway in the first place.

@mcourcel @EmeraldRose i have had situations like that where there reaction has nothing to do with what your telling them but other things in there lives. it sure requires being understanding.

@mcourcel Awww, I feel so bad for people who have had it. I know that there are days when I also have had it and I would have probably appreciated the help and a hug.

@EmeraldRose Well, I did as best as I could, in a professional way. She did call my colleague to thank us for all of our help, so I think it's all good.,

@mcourcel @SapphireRose91 Agree with this 100%. I grew up with my father telling my brother to always be a man, not to cry, blah blah blah. And then they wonder why my brother has angry issues. Well Ds is going through some emotional stuff right now, and certainly he does get angry, but I would say he cries more than he gets angry. I told him I would rather he cry then smash things. Anger and crying are both releases of emotion. They're both healthy, although I don't think it's really healthy to be violent. I guess what I mean is they're both natural. It's all in just how we express ourselves.
