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.

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.

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.
