Hello!
Looking at the chain of events that happened today, I couldn't help but think of the domino effect.
When something like this happens, we often think that if we hadn't done that in the first place, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
And after everything that happened, it seemed like things were really looking pretty serious.
I just want to check in and see if it's really that serious.
It's true that a series of small things and emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming, but if we take a moment to look at them individually, they're not as serious as they seem.
Let's work through this together and see if we can help you get out of that emotional whirlpool, okay?
Because of the little hiccup between friends, it took a little while to seek help from a friend's mind. I was just getting ready to tell the lovely young lady that I was sorry for taking a little while. I was a little busy at the time and didn't get a chance to say it, so I was just a little bit annoyed.
Oh, you know what it is! That little matter with a friend is what sets off a whole series of events.
If you're having trouble letting go, it might be hard to focus on your work.
So, you went to ask for help, and your intentions were good, my friend.
You asked for help, which took a little longer than usual, but it probably didn't have a big impact on the work. You just felt a little bad about it, and were afraid that the girl in the shop would say something to you, so you wanted to explain it to her. However, when you got busy, you didn't have time, and your worries remained, so you got a little annoyed, right?
I know you spent some time dealing with personal matters, with the aim of working better. I'm sure you're wondering if you're at fault.
If you don't beat yourself up, you'll feel less upset, I'm sure.
The young lady in the back of the store was talking about me again, but it was actually nothing. Maybe she just has a habit of being negative. I used to think she was quite respectful, and I got along with her before, so I felt that I was better than her and said I would learn from her. As a result, this morning I thought I would be praised and thanked, but I didn't expect my efforts and thoughts to be wasted. I felt it wasn't worth it, but that's okay!
Oh, absolutely! The young lady spoke about you.
I totally get why you're feeling disappointed. I remember you had a good impression of her before, but because you were troubled and your work in the morning wasn't praised, you were a little disappointed.
You did a great job this morning, and I know you're disappointed you didn't get any praise. But I just wanted to let you know that your contribution was still noticed and appreciated.
Don't pay any mind to Little Miss. She's in the habit of negating people, so you can just ignore it.
It can be tough to face rejection, but don't let her rejection affect you.
It's probably just a bunch of annoying things. It's hot, so I've been feeling a little irritable, and I feel inside that I shouldn't be like this. I know I should work hard, because I've always done a pretty good job. As a result, today I was standing in the doorway shouting at the top of my voice, when I should have been regulating my emotions by looking at my phone and not wanting to move because I was in a bad mood. My job is sales promotion, and I don't want to shout either.
When we're feeling down, it's so important to take a moment to calm down and then tackle the problem head-on.
If we let our emotions get in the way, we might end up stuck in a loop of unresolved problems.
I totally get it. When you feel annoyed, you don't have the motivation or passion to sing, right?
I totally get why you want to adjust by checking your phone.
I know it can be tough to keep up with our emotions, and it's not always easy to work hard all the time.
Give yourself a break, my friend. Your mood will thank you for it!
So, the manager came by and saw me on my phone, so he gave me a 100-dollar fine. I'm totally okay with that, but I feel like I'm doing a great job, and I should still be rewarded or praised. He praised me before, and another leader praised me yesterday, so I'm a little bummed.
I'm sure you did a great job overall!
You did such a great job and were praised for it! It seems a bit unfair that you were punished for a moment of bad mood by being made to look at your phone.
It's okay if you feel like you're not being accepted for who you are and feel a bit lost.
If you're feeling down, it's okay! We all have ups and downs. At this time, if you admit your mistake, apologize, and explain to your leader that you want to adjust your mood because you have encountered something upsetting, so that you can have the energy to sing, they will understand that you did not mean to be lazy. Don't worry, the misunderstanding may be clarified.
Then at work, I made two more minor mistakes. I was a little hard on myself, and my mood was never very good. I felt like I hadn't performed well because I was in a bad mood. I wondered how my friends would handle the situation. I felt that I would be fine, that things would get better, that I would be able to look at the bigger picture, and that I would be able to solve the problems that were troubling me. I didn't get along with the young lady in the shop as well as usual, and I didn't handle the problems with my friends very well because I was in a bad mood.
As we said earlier, if you go to work with your emotions in tow, you'll find yourself facing a lot of challenges.
It's so easy to get caught up in self-blame, isn't it? It can really affect your confidence in being able to get things done.
If I'm not happy, how can I get along happily with my little sister, right?
So, to solve emotional problems, I tell my troubles to a younger woman to see if she can understand and comfort me.
But hey, it's okay! We all have those days where one or two things don't go as planned, and that's totally fine. I know I've had days like that, too! It's okay if things aren't perfect.
I'll be honest, though. My mood is still not very good. Thinking about things that make me happy, I feel like it's all effort and I don't want to do it.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and my self-esteem is sometimes very high, sometimes very low. It's okay, though!
Oh, it's okay! We all have those days where we just can't seem to get things done right.
You are also an emotional person, and there's no way to know what tomorrow will bring, right?
When you're feeling down, it's okay to accept your emotions. You can spend some time alone with yourself to let your emotions ease on their own, or you can talk to a friend for a while to let off some steam.
Once you've shared your feelings with someone, you'll feel better.
You are a perfectionist, and these imperfections have happened. It's totally okay! This is a great time to start letting go of perfectionism.
It's okay to accept your own mistakes and imperfections. You'll be happier if you do.
I really hope this text is like a small river for you. I hope it opens up and lets your worries and disappointments flow along it and drift away.

It sounds like you've had a really tough day. It's frustrating when things don't go as expected, especially after putting in so much effort. I hope tomorrow brings better moments and that your hard work gets the recognition it deserves.
Sometimes we just have one of those days where everything seems to pile up. It's good you're acknowledging your feelings; maybe taking a moment for yourself could help reset your mood.
I can understand how upsetting it is when people talk behind your back, especially someone you respected. It's important to remember that not everyone will always react positively, but what matters is how you handle it with grace.
It's a shame about the misunderstanding with the young lady at the store. Maybe you'll get a chance to clear the air and explain your side. Communication can often resolve such issues more easily than we think.
Feeling undervalued at work can be incredibly disheartening. Perhaps speaking directly with your manager about your concerns might help address the lack of appreciation and prevent similar situations in the future.
