Someone today said some very hurtful things to me and personally attacked both my character and competence. I'm trying not to let it ruin my day but it really got me so bent out of shape and I'm pissed off. I could've been so cruel to them and made them feel like garbage but I didn't want to do that to somebody. My goal for the conversation wasn't to "one-up" them because I wasn't there to win a fucking battle or anything, but they really went after me.

How do I just... let this go and not let them get to me? It's been hours and I still don't feel any calmer 😔😔

I know they were in the wrong and I know their opinion of me shouldn't really matter but I'm still so fucking irritated. I just wish I could let this whole thing go and feel physically relaxed but I'm still super tense.
