I recently <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">witnessed</span> a woman answer the phone at receptionist desk make a mistake, and then hang up the phone and walk up and down the hallway flailing her arms "I can't do it" over and over. I know my mouth was hanging open <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">because</span> it was dry and I could not think of ONE thing to say. True to form I turned and walked away, I also talked about her later behind her back. Now I am <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">afraid</span> of her and ashamed of myself.<br />Id like to say that I am the person that responds every time with compassion, however I am not. If this woman and I had a history or compassion I would have asked her what is wrong, or what can I do to help etc. I would not have turned my back. Perhaps shame begets shame?<br />The big question is how to do work through our own shame to respond to people in the moment that can prevent them from freaking out? How do you?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8078079953441259329-2409580644394031197?l=thisloveisreal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>loveandforgivenesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16835167316860391081noreply@blogger.com0
