A bit sad/ possible ADHD subject.

Sometimes I will impulsively say stuff but I always try to be kind and if I do say something that isn’t the best manners it’s never on purpose and I’ll beat myself up afterwards for days. I try to be careful but today I had a competition and won an award so I had a bit of adrenaline going with a lack of sleep. It was a scholarship award from getting first place so you get money from it but really doing the competition is so expensive you don’t actually GET money. So I jokingly made a comment and another teacher made a comment but before she could finish I sad oh yea no I know what you mean. I meant it to be in a light hearted way as I was in a pretty good mood from winning the award so I know there’s no way I said it with an attitude. I mean I can’t see myself but I don’t feel like I did. She got upset and said shut up don’t talk to me like that you don’t even know what I’m saying. Now after the award I have been crying because I feel horrible for interrupting and also aggressively being told to shut up.

I'm sorry this happened. I think she was already in an intense and sensitive emotional state so literally anything could have set her off, you were just the unfortunate victim of her misplaced rage. You didn't do anything malicious or ill intended. It's the difference between bumping into someone by accident and causing them to fall intentionally. One is an accident and the other is an immoral act. You didn't intend to hurt her through your interruption. I know it's not easy to brush things like this off easily but I hope you feel better.

@PinkMoon Thankyou!

So sorry about this situation.
Misunderstandings happen and ok you might have been a little out of line but sounds like she was way out of line by telling you to shut up in front of others.

Hopefully you can iron things out after a while and apologize in public/in private to others/the person as is appropriate.

@Similarname yea, I wish she would have calmly talked to me in private if she didn’t like how I talked to her. I do care if I bother someone so there’s no need to get aggressive. I’ll get the point if you say it nicely.

@Jstbanannas1991
Yeah she handled it very badly, and got ticked off for some reason (maybe she thought you were being arrogant/cocky).

Try not to let it affect you too much, and tell her you’re sorry for saying something when she was talking; and if you can, tell others you regret saying something that day.

What that teacher said was extremely disrespectful. Have some more confidence in yourself and don’t let people talk to you like that. You weren’t rude

@Flenflyys Thankyou. I have some more rounds tonight so I’m trying to shake this off but I’m a bit sensitive.

Aww, you were just excited as you should have been. She didn't need to be nasty and ruin your good mood
Do NOT let anybody rain on your parade!

Tomorrow maybe you two can make up and play nice.

TODAY, you won an award.

Feel better but consider discontinuing using the "yea no" phrase.
You made a midtake. It is not the end of the world. You apologized. It is on that perdon to accept it snd to move on or not. Br kind to yourself. You seem like a good person. Never forget that.

I'm sorry that happened, I feel like her reaction was a bit harsh tho, maybe she was annoyed that you won.

I am... i actually run it as my super power. If you can harness it, you'll be dangerous instead of labels. Imo
