Hello, friend! I'm the Way Back Home.
From what you've told me, it seems like something happened when you were late for the nucleic acid test that's causing you some emotional distress.
[Problem description and analysis]
It's totally normal to worry about being blamed by others when our behavior doesn't meet expectations. We all crave the appearance of understanding and tolerance from the outside, and that's okay!
It's like a little one who, after making a mistake, wants their parents' love and approval.
However, if we bring our expectations of our parents to our relationships with others in real life, we might be being a bit demanding on others sometimes.
As we all know, parents can't always be there to take care of our feelings.
[Mindshift]
In real life, if we focus too much on other people's opinions and judgments, we might find ourselves becoming a bit too consumed with our attention, a little cautious, and perhaps even a little afraid to take action. We might even stray from the original purpose of life.
Everyone is here on this earth to be their true selves and to bloom with their own vitality.
It's so important to focus on what you want (and what I want).
It's so important to work together with others to achieve the things we want to achieve.
People go through three stages, and it's so interesting to see how we all grow and change!
This is the stage where we want the world and others to be just as we want them to be.
Meeting other people's expectations (it's all for you)
The subject separation stage is all about distinguishing between what is my business and what is other people's business.
You see, it's all about focusing on your own feelings, understanding the feelings of others, and then learning to distinguish between what's yours and what's theirs.
It's like the wonderful process of a seed germinating, growing, and blooming!
As the questioner said, the questioner being late is the questioner's business, and what kind of reaction others make as a result is the other person's business. We can't control how others react, but we can focus on what's within our control.
And if the other person's reaction causes the questioner emotional distress, that is also something the questioner can focus on and work through.
It's totally normal to feel sad when you see how other people are reacting to you. It can even make you feel like you're being ignored or dismissed. But here's the thing: you don't have to take it personally. You can choose to let it go and give yourself a break. Just relax and focus on taking care of yourself.
[Written at the end]
Grief is just a part of life. It's how we deal with disappointment. When things don't go as expected, it's normal to feel sad and upset. But it's also the path to rebirth with new hope.
We all need to feel accepted, in control, and loved in our relationships.
It's totally normal to long for acceptance. And if you want to have a good relationship with others, it's actually really important to accept them for who they are.
I think it's so important to remember that the original poster wants to be understood by the monitor, teacher, and epidemic prevention personnel. It's also possible that they're feeling a bit of self-blame, thinking that they should have been nicer to you at the time, and longing for your understanding.
So, just relax a little, take a look at what you want more, do what you want to do, and remember that all challenges serve what we want to do.
I really hope my answer helps! Best of luck to you!

I can understand why you felt sad and hurt after the nucleic acid test experience. It's tough when we face impatience or annoyance from others, especially in a public setting. But remember, the rush and stress you observed might not have been about you; sometimes people are under pressure due to time constraints or other responsibilities. Try to focus on what you can control—like being more punctual next time—and let go of what you can't. After all, your feelings are valid, and it's okay to take time to process them. Engaging in activities you enjoy is a great way to soothe yourself and help the sadness fade away.
Everyone has moments where they feel out of sync with their surroundings, and it seems like everything is happening too fast. In this case, it sounds like the environment was quite rushed, which added to your discomfort. It's important to remind yourself that while you may have been late, it doesn't define your worth. The teacher's urgency and the medical staff's anxiety were likely due to the need to complete tests efficiently. You've already taken a positive step by reflecting on the event and deciding to be more careful in the future. Keep doing things that bring you joy as a form of selfcare, and over time, the sadness will lessen. Trust in your ability to bounce back from this.
Feeling upset because of someone else's reaction is completely normal, but it's also important to separate your emotions from the situation. The haste and irritation you encountered were probably not personal; the staff had many people to attend to and needed to maintain a certain pace. Acknowledge your feelings, but don't let them linger too long. You've recognized your tardiness and have vowed to be more mindful next time, which is a constructive response. Sometimes, the best way to comfort ourselves is to act on the lessons learned and move forward. Continue to engage in activities that uplift you, and you'll find that the sadness will gradually diminish.
