But I also know if someone gave me the opportunity to calm down on my own terms
in my own space
in my own way and then calmly sat down with me, let me know they understood how upset I was, and then helped me think
of some things I could do to better handle the
situation in the future, and then they let me know they would help me implement those changes, I'd be a hell
of a
lot more receptive to what they were saying than if they were to yell at me, tell me how disappointing I was, compare me to other people who appear to be more
capable of doing things the right way, and then dole out a massive punishment.
