Am I THAT obvious?
Comments (12) I hate that I wear my heart on my sleeve, therefore making every emotion I am feeling obvious.
Last week, a coworker said, “Hey! You seem happy today.” I was happy that day. The last few times she’d seen me, I’d been very stressed or sad.
Yesterday, I ran into my mentor in the hallway of my building. I just said hello, and from that, he asked “what’s wrong?” He could hear the stress and panic in my voice.
And the worst example – a few of my college friends are visiting this weekend, and one just called me and said, “It seemed like you are kind of stressed out in the last few emails you sent. You seem worried about what we will do while we are there and what we will eat. We just want to see you and relax! We can just sit on the couch all weekend and eat whatever, it doesn’t matter!”
I wanted to cry when she called. She was trying to reassure me, but knowing that my stress was so obvious just made me feel worse.
