Have compassion for yourself. Instead of digging in your heels, you introspect, recognizing where you have projected past frustrations onto the interaction. That kind of self-awareness can be so hard, and allowing others to bare witness to it is even more difficult. Thanks for modeling that process for readers and in general for doing this work.

Thanks Erin. Yeah, I'm not being too hard on myself. It's mainly just driven home the importance of stepping away from the keyboard when I'm annoyed. It actually crossed my mind to do so at the time, but I was just to irritated to obey my better instincts ЁЯШЕ
