My coworker asked me to staple a big pile of papers today and i was like "Noooooooooo"....I was just being sarcastic, im a overly nice shy person and I do most things for most people just to get acceptance. I was gonna smile and do it.
Then I looked over and saw that she had her own stapler so I was like "you have your own stapler". I only said it to find out why she wanted me to staple her papers but in the middle of my sentence, my tone changed and got kidna rude because the truth was, I was tired and feelign like crap and didnt feel like stapling anyone elses papers.
Turns out her stapler wasnt as big as mine to handle the thick stack of papers so she said "fine ok dont worry about it".
We talked throughout the day like usual and it was obvious that she got offeneded becasue she wasnt as open or friendly as usual. And she woudl joke about how I had offended her......but she wasnt mad enough that I should apologize.
anyway, i really wish i could just let it go. the situation is not serious enough to apologize but i'm EXTREMELY sensitive to things like these and it ruins my entire day. I keep thinking about how horrible it is for her to tell my other coworkers and have them all form negative opinions of me. I spent 2 hours worrying about this and am unable to do anything else I enjoy.
I just wanted to vent to let myself feel better.
